For the U.S. and its trading partners, Trump's tariff threats poses a slew of economic, strategic, and institutional risks.

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.

Trump Wanted Shutdown to Happen on Biden’s Watch, Not His

The president-elect was eager to evade responsibility for the consequences of a potential shutdown even as he blew up a bipartisan deal that would have kept the government open.
