Domestic politics of debt crises/restructuring:

-Blame predecessors for high debt burden (hidden debt revelations make this effective).
-Avoid IMF program & conditions.
-Hold out for an improvement in debt servicing capacity, perhaps through resource revenues or taxation.

A president who seems to understand the value of a rules-based approach to international trade, of allies (he praises Canada as trade partner) and a Congress who does something, anything, to guide the executive's behavior....I never thought I'd have so much nostalgia for second term Reagan! [3/3]

Layna Mosley @laynamosley.bsky.social · Oct 25

The speech is perhaps signaling to Japan that the US doesn't want a trade war (despite the US duties) -- but also asking Democrats in Congress not to tie his hands legislatively (especially with the Gephardt Amendment to the Omnibus Trade Act) [2/3]

Layna Mosley @laynamosley.bsky.social · Oct 25

The text of the 1987 Reagan speech on tariffs:

www.reaganlibrary.gov/archives/spe...

He'd just imposed some retaliatory tariffs against Japan, over semiconductors, so there's a definite "fair but free" angle here.

But also a claim that tariffs are of limited use as a foreign policy tool [1/3]
