This "who pays the tariff" debate is getting goofy. Trade benefits all who are involved. Taxing it harms both exporting and importing countries.

A remarkable look into how the "quality" British press gets made: A The Telegraph reporter just lifts an anecdote from that day's The New York Times — but he doesn't actually understand it, so he writes that an acting teacher who died in 1982 is somehow doing debate prep for Harris.
