Trump Follows in Rebuild of Global Trading Order He’s Dismantling
Trump has only concluded five trade deals, with a dozen others remaining mere frameworks
Hanging over it all are myriad questions over Trump’s intentions with China. The suspicion of many allies and experts being that he is more interested in striking a commercially driven trade deal than isolating an existential rival.

US and China Flip the Global Script as Capital Flows Reverse
As the US draws back, China is again dispersing capital globally, leading the rest of the world to confront a fundamental change in their economic relationships with both superpowers.
The US and China are flipping the script.
As the US tries to bring factories home, China Inc is stepping into the vacuum, investing in new production outside China.

Trump’s $21 Trillion Investment Boom Is Actually Short Trillions
Bloomberg Economics analysis shows real investment commitments closer to $7 trillion and many of those are in question.
Trump keeps hailing an investment boom that he says is set to top $21 trillion in pledges from companies & countries. But as we write in today's @bloomberg.com Big Take the reality is a third of that. And even that $7 trillion faces major questions.

"If [the administration] was honest about what the investment is, you and I would be doing a segment celebrating investment in America, instead of fact checking it." - @stephruhle.bsky.social.

They Voted for Trump. His Tariffs Took Down Their Family-Owned Sawmill
After President Trump launched his trade war, a family-run lumber company that has been around for almost a century decided to close one of its mills.
"Liberation Day" "damn near liberated me from our business," Wilson Jones told Shawn Donnan. "I'm bitter about that."

The AI boom is propping up the US economy. It's also gobbling up all the people, power & capital.
One consequence: It's impeding the manufacturing renaissance Trump wants.

What We Still Get Wrong About Trump’s Approach to China
The US president’s “tough on China” reputation belies his interest in striking a deal with the nation, not decoupling from it.
"Trump’s views on China have a remarkably consistent thread running through them: He’s often the contrarian in the room pushing back against advisers urging him to crack down on an existential rival."
My @bloomberg.com Weekend Essay on why Trump's no China hawk.

A Gunmaker’s Lobbying Shows How Trump’s Tariffs Changed the Game
Firms close to the administration have seen a surge in revenue as they advise businesses on how to avoid the import duties and play ‘Let’s Make a Deal’ in Trump's Washington
Trump’s tariffs - and companies’ push for relief from them - has set off a lobbying boom with more than $900 million spent in the first half of this year.
The big winners: A small group of lobbying firms with close ties to the Trump administration.

Trump's 50% tariff on Brazil was a crisis for Taurus, which sells most of its low-cost guns in the US. So Taurus called Brian Ballard.
Trump's trade wars are fueling a historic boom on K Street -- especially for lobbyists closest to the president's inner circle.
