The clock is ticking before the US ramps up tariffs on Chinese imports.
We may be on the cusp of a full-blow trade war that could reconfigure globalisation.
Boasting the world’s biggest and strongest economy, the U.S. has enormous leverage when it sits down with a partner to negotiate a trade deal. Threats and tariffs are not really helping.
Americans seem to believe trade deficits are a bad thing, partly because of arguments suggesting they mean the US is ‘losing.’ An economist explains why that’s rubbish.
There can be no middle road in the trade war between China and the United States. Soon we will have to pick sides.
The president says he’s fighting his trade war because a generation of free trade has failed working-class Americans. An economist explains why tariffs will only make things worse.
American policymakers and lawmakers are floating unilateral sanctions against Russia, Iran and even Turkey in an effort to change behavior. But research shows sanctions only work in narrow circumstances.
The president launched a trade war largely on the premise of a massive trade deficit with China. A closer look at the iPhone shows why he’s wrong.

China supplies just 2% of America’s steel, while Canada and Europe have sizeable shares and Australian steel producers depend on access to US markets.
When confronted with the consequences of arms sales, democratic governments fall back on a number of flawed arguments.
Leaving the EU single market and customs union cannot be compensated for by free trade agreements with other countries.
Australia recently signed a free trade agreement with Peru and more are on the way. At the same time it is part of a global trend of stealth protectionism among developed countries.
