    A Better Alternative to Trump’s Tariffs

    Anne O. Krueger

    US President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to impose across-the-board tariffs is unlikely to provide meaningful relief to workers displaced by import competition. A targeted adjustment program that combines retraining opportunities for younger workers and support for older ones would be more effective and less expensive.

     worries that the incoming US administration’s trade policies will harm, not help, American workers.

    Trump Can Win Against China – in Ukraine

    Simon Johnson & Oleg Ustenko

    A much lower price cap on Russian crude, backed up with stronger sanctions enforcement, would leave Russia with no choice but to withdraw from Ukraine. That, in turn, would send a powerful signal to Russia’s allies, and to the Chinese leadership in particular: Anyone who attacks a neighbor will suffer crippling economic consequences.

     argue that forcing Russia to withdraw would yield a clearer win for the US than tariffs on Chinese imports.
