Droits de douane de Trump : «Ceci n'est pas un accord» Selon Cecilia Malmström, qui a dû négocier avec la première administration Trump, l’Union s’est engagée à Turnberry sur une voie particulièrement dangereuse. Au-delà de la capitulation sans résistance, la Commission a surtout pris le risque de présenter comme un « accord » une discussion dont tous les termes peuvent encore totalement changer. En menaçant hier d’augmenter les droits de douane si l’Europe ne lui donnait pas directement 600 milliards de dollars, Trump vient tranquillement de s’engouffrer dans la brèche — ouvrant une nouvelle phase d’incertitude.

PIIE president Adam S. Posen's statement on government data integrity Washington, DC—Better knowledge leads to better policies which leads to better well-being for people. That is the valid premise on which, and the purpose for which, the Peterson Institute was founded....

Economic data is necessary to reality check policy. Firing the BLS Commissioner is unquestionably wrong. It enables the Trump Administration to pursue radical self-harming policies (where self means the American people).

Cecilia Malmström: Varför är tanken på en blocköverskridande regering så omöjlig i Sverige? Nya tider kräver nya beslut – och nya vänner. EU tar nu flera steg i den riktningen. Men klarar Sveriges partier att bryta ny mark?

NEW: Even though the immediate threat of an escalating trade war has been avoided, the US-EU "deal" cannot be labeled as a good agreement for Europe, @ceciliamalmstrom.bsky.social writes.
