Why is trade framed in terms of national security? An exciting new paper by @yavuzmehmet.bsky.social, Gemma Mateo and @andduer.bsky.social in @pspolisci.bsky.social explores how US trade policy is shaped by national security. The evidence suggests that security frames are used strategically.

Title and abstract of paper.
Title: "Who Drives the Security Narrative in US Trade Policy?"
Abstract: "Appeals to national security play a central role in contemporary US trade politics. Who drives this security narrative and why? We argue that executive branch actors, regardless of political party affiliation, are more likely to frame trade policy in national-security terms. In Congress, however, we expect Republicans to rely more heavily than Democrats on a national-security narrative. We tested these expectations through a systematic analysis of trade-related discourse by congressional and executive actors from 2001 to early 2025. Using a large language model to examine a substantial corpus of speeches, press releases, and official statements, we find only partial support for our argument: the anticipated partisan difference appears, but security framing is more prevalent in Congress than in the executive branch. Overall, the evidence suggests that actors use security framing as a strategic tool to reinforce their role and confer legitimacy on particular trade policies."

I don’t know how to appropriately convey how destructive it will be if Trump’s EO to fund TSA works. The impeachment power has already been undermined. If the appropriation power also goes, Congress has almost nothing left in the checks and balances.
