My way-too-early impressions of Harris on econ policy based on a few calls & reporting: - Very close w/ labor. Opted out of LA hotel in solidarity with worker strike in 2023 & out of TV interview due to writers strike. Particularly allied w/ SEIU/care economy advocates - think

Excited to share Christine McDaniel Mercatus Center paper on a pragmatic approach to trade! “A principles-based, plurilateral approach can help protect national security while curbing protectionist tendencies, and tackle new issues such as climate action and renewable energy.”

The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there. To that end, the United States will provide

A reminder that Mexico is China’s rival in the race to attract manufacturing, rather than a recipient of its FDI. President Sheinbaum’s administration wants firms to substitute imports from China, Malaysia, Vietnam &Taiwan with Mexican-made components. wsj.com/economy/trade/…

Trump needs an offensive trade agenda, not merely tariffs to defend the old order. He should foster a new type of negotiation that capitalizes on the country’s innovative spirit and technological advantages, writes Robert B. Zoellick trib.al/XdlQuwT

President Biden claiming Japan's investment in an American steel company is a threat to national security is a pathetic and craven cave to special interests that will make America less prosperous and safe. I'm sorry to see him betraying our allies while abusing the law.
