Who Really Wins in the US-EU Trade Deal? Laura Tyson & George Papaconstantinou push back on the idea that US President Donald Trump got the better of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

The necessary, second-best trade deal with the US should not undermine the EU's main goal: achieving strategic autonomy, write @lauradtyson.bsky.social and @gpapak.bsky.social. bit.ly/41cFWzZ

Unlike Donald Trump and Texas Governor Greg Abbott's gerrymandering effort, California Governor Gavin Newsom's proposed redistricting would require voters' approval, note @lennymendonca.bsky.social and @lauradtyson.bsky.social. bit.ly/4oPBH7o

Many see the EU as the loser in the deal btwn Pres @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu & Pres Trump. Yet, it is America whose economy is being sabotaged, while Europe has been blessed with new opportunities: @projectsyndicate.bsky.social w/ @gpapak.bsky.social: www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/u...
