GPGs are what they are regardless of the motivation of the one providing it - and that motivation has shifted. Previously intrinsically motivated, the US now wants some extrinsic motivation (or more explicitly monetary?).

I tell students that trade law outlaws quantitative restrictions but not tariffs (subject to bindings etc) partly because Ts are more visible to consumers and thus more vulnerable to political pressure. The addition of an import fee could be a good example of that. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/b...

After Trump Tariffs, Volkswagen to Add ‘Import Fees’ to Cars Sold in U.S.
The company’s move is one of the first and clearest examples of automakers using price increases to deal with the 25 percent tariffs President Trump imposed on car and auto parts imports.

Japan, Canada, Mexico, and the UK are already party to the CPTPP. Some have suggested that the EU should join as well, but that's unlikely due to differences in regulatory approaches.

Last week, NZ and India announced that they'll restart FTA negotiations. But news items like this one make me think that it is more likely to be a difficult negotiation as anyone negotiating with India is finding out. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3606...

“Tariffs can be used to achieve some national targets, but they are rarely the best instrument to achieve them,” write @chadbown.bsky.social and @douglasirwin.bsky.social. What explains the Trump administration’s fixation on tariffs?
