Being called “difficult” is almost a rite of passage for strong women. I’ve been called it more than once. What it really means is that some men see you as unmanageable — and therefore a threat.

How new export opportunities created good jobs in Vietnam Bilateral trade agreements create opportunities beyond signatories. The US-Vietnam trade agreement led to large, persistent increases in formal manufacturing employment in Vietnam through the entry and expansion of multinationals from East Asia.

Today on VoxDev, Brian McCaig (Wilfrid Laurier University), Nina Pavcnik (Dartmouth Economics) & Woan Foong Wong (University of Oregon) discuss the far-reaching effects of the US-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement: https://ow.ly/YRZJ50Ymjw2

Is replacing all income taxes with tariffs mathematically possible? No.

And even if you could, it would be terrible for everyone but the rich. Check out our interactive at @americanprogressaction.org: www.americanprogressaction.org/article/comp...

I believe it's now official. Another TACO, as apparently the 15% tariff is going to be enforced as a 10% tariff.

We now are on our fifth tariff regime for the week.

Trump's 10% global tariff was formalized in a proclamation from Friday and goes into effect at midnight tonight. He later said he would raise it to 15% but with three hours to go, is yet to do anything formal to make this happen.

So I don't think anyone knows what tomorrow's tariff rate is.

Will support any budding graduate who actually knows what’s what....

Global crises rage from Ukraine to Gaza, Arctic tensions to trade wars, the optics of the FBI chief casually enjoying beers in Italy feels surreal, almost like the world’s on fire and someone’s having a picnic. The contrast really highlights the disconnect between domestic posturing & global chaos.

Australia to Keep Trump’s Beef Tariff Exemptions, Industry Says Australia, one of the biggest foreign suppliers of beef to the US, will keep its exemptions from President Donald Trump’s tariff regime.

+10% yesterday
+15% today
Yes, this seems sustainable.

Plus interest??

If the EU and CPTPP align on trade rules, who actually benefits — and who feels the pressure? From exporters and multinationals to countries caught outside major trade frameworks, this could shift who writes the rules of global trade.

Nearly a year later, the Supreme Court rules: the President can’t impose broad global tariffs under emergency powers… and within hours, a new 10% global tariff is announced under a different statute. Same policy, new legal hook. Markets want predictability. Businesses want certainty.

Tourism = export revenue.

Markets want predictability. Businesses want certainty. Instead, we’re re-learning first-year trade law… again.

Within hours, Donald Trump signaled a new plan: a 10% global tariff, this time under a different statute. It’s remarkable we’re here again — not because the law is unclear, but because it keeps being tested the same way.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the President overstepped by using emergency powers to justify broad, across-the-board tariffs. A clear reaffirmation of constitutional guardrails. Clear… but apparently not clarifying enough.

Trade déjà vu, anyone? Nearly a year later, we’re still litigating the same core issue: who actually has the authority to impose global tariffs. Spoiler alert — it’s still Congress.

A quiet shift may be underway in global trade. Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney, is pushing discussions to align two of the world’s biggest trade blocs — the EU and the CPTPP.

Supply chains don’t usually fail all at once. They fail when pressure exposes weak connections. Rising costs, tighter regulations, and tariff volatility have pushed trade decisions into the spotlight. What used to sit quietly within supply chain operations is now central to flow, cost control, and risk management. Today, supply chains only move when trade, logistics, procurement, and distribution work together. As a supply chain professional, this visibility isn’t a risk — it’s an opportunity to lead. To move from constant firefighting to predictable, resilient operations, you need structured, recognised, and defensible credentials — supported by tools that enable cross-functional decision-making. Through the Global Trade Passport Program, Global Trade Professionals Alliance supports trade and supply chain professionals with: ✔ ISO-aligned certification ✔ Specialist Passports validating trade and compliance expertise ✔ Digital badges signalling capability to leadership, regulators, and partners ✔ Tools to manage compliance risk, sourcing shifts, and stakeholder expectations Be the link that strengthens the chain.

Visibility is rising in supply chains.

Pressure is real.

Leadership makes the difference.

Be the link that holds it all together.

"It's the opportunity to have a rules-based trading bloc of 1.5 billion people with complementary economies," says PM Carney when asked about reports that he is leading talks between the European Union and a 12-nation Indo-Pacific bloc to create a new trading alliance. #cdnpoli
