1/4 Trade, once so central to Trump’s political rise, has turned against him. @Steven_Okun was among the first to frame how trade got to front-and-center of this year's midterms, when usually it has a big supporting, but never the starring, role.

3/4 Instead, the President couldn't help but put trade back in front. Tariffs, the war with Iran, uncertainty over USMCA, and the standoff with Canada already opened the way in trade-exposed states for Democrats. Then, Russia.
4/4 But Steve has a prescient warning for a likely blue wave: Democrats can win Congress without an agenda, but they need a positive agenda or risk losing voters’ support in 2028. @ApacAdvisors @hinrichfdn
Well, well. The times, they are a’changin’.
Rare, extensive local media coverage of 1 of Singapore’s most elusive govt agencies, the Security and Intelligence Division, analogous to the American CIA or British MI6. This agency helps keep this tiny island alert against national security threats. channelnewsasia.com/singapor…
Will politics trump tariffs in the midterms? We may find that, close to an election, even the most beloved of trade policies bends to politics.
@Steven_Okun @ApacAdvisors knock it out of the ballpark for the @hinrichfdn: hinrichfoundation.com/resear…

1/6: In the absence of strong state action, any Cold War would be over in 15 to 20 years for the West, @RobAtkinsonITIF writes in a new essay @hinrichfdn published today. The most likely scenario he sees:
6/6: His overall assessment: The greater likelihood, on the face of things, is more incrementalism and continued decline in American techno-economic power. Rob is founder and former president @ITIFdc. Every President since Clinton has appointed him to all sorts of tech bodies.
Rob's essay for @hinrichfdn is an edgy, provocative take that throws down the gauntlet - not at China - but to the West. Is the West better than China? Read the full essay here: hinrichfoundation.com/resear…

In the last quarter-century of #globalization, #supplychains became a human marvel that crossed nations and cultures. Now, they are a weapon wielded to divide and conquer. Download the latest @east_asia_forum Quarterly, co-edited by @YapCW Jason Tabarias: buff.ly/3L9IIxC
Great sweep through the global landscape on the trade-offs between sustainability and business in a presentation this afternoon by Law Heng Dean, MD @PollinateEnergy Singapore at our @NatPress-@hinrichfdn Int’l Trade Fellowship.
We kicked off our annual International Trade Fellowship with/@NatPress today with a panel by @Steven_Okun on the impact of the U.S. elections on global trade. Delighted to be working with @annieisi and her great team again.
