What are countries like Côte d'Ivoire supposed to do? 90% of their exports to the U.S. are cocoa beans and natural rubber - can you build those behind the tariff wall? No. My latest for @piie.com on the disaster these #tariffs may mean for many resource-dependent developing economies.

U.S. foreign aid is an issue dividing America.

Politics and partisanship shape how Americans view U.S. foreign aid, this survey finds. Here's the data from December 2024.
