Extraordinary number of ships at #singapore. All bunched up here because of Red Sea disruption to shipping and shifts in way things are being shipped. Fascinating. This is where commerce and geo politics come face to face

I have covered @MarkJCarney for years. Now he has his own electoral mandate (and has made history) - one of the best economists in the world. Perfectly suited to this fight. Calm. Charming. Deliberate and very clever. The US will regret this fight.

And yes. I stand by my comment that the trade deals being announced are largely garbage because they are so uncertain with no mechanisms for enforcement or even any idea of how to make them happen

tonight @ScottJenningsKY sank to disingenuously playing with facts when he threw my April recession comments at me. When I made them @realDonaldTrump had imposed 130% tariffs on China. Today’s 15-20% tariff rates are bad but manageable. Sad Scott Sad you sank to that

These trade deals: no process, no monitoring, no enforcement, no direction on how they will be implemented, etc. Frameworks are fine if there is a realistic chance that they will come to fruition. In five years time, let’s see how much of these deals have actually happened.

Europe - energy purchases that bear no relation to reality
Japan - $$$$ inward investment with no mechanism to make it happen
UK - a framework that no one has any idea what is involved.
The only thing that @realDonaldTrump is getting is his headline tariff number: which is the one thing he was determined to get having always wanted trade policy based on tariffs

Precisely how did Canada’s ad misrepresent Reagan’s views on tariffs. Someone tell me please. Reagan’s 1987 radio address and subsequent actions show he was a free trader who used tariffs surgically. I can’t see the ‘fake’ or misrepresentation.

Just stayed at a hotel where check IN was 4pm. And check OUT was 11am. (Notice how hotels are taking an hour at each end). That means my stay was only allowed 19 hours. Add on the amenity fee for non existing amenities and one’s left feeling “rip off” where does this end!?
