What lesson will Iran learn? Become a ‘normal’ country or quickly build more nuclear weapons and missiles for stronger deterrence?

Trade deficits matter: US imports > exports, funded by a financial surplus—mostly stocks & bonds, not new factories. In 2023, greenfield FDI was just 1.5% of it. It’s trading goods for paper assets, not building industry.

Without tarrifs or a currency peg this is what happens. 1997 Asia crisis was the real turning point with the build up of offshore dollar reserves. The solution is likely monetary and not tarrifs.

If Trumps gamble works 10% tariffs across the board will stay and deals will be made with individual surplus countries to cut their surpluses through various adjustments, and things will stabilize. Off course it can also turn into an all out downward spiral trade war…

Let’s say Trump’s tariffs work and the US closes its trade deficit. Where will countries get their trade and reserve currency dollars from? That would cause a massive dollar shortage and global recession.

Trump’s brilliant move is that he combines economic populism with tax cuts for the rich. This mix—pro-worker rhetoric and pro-business policies—keeps both the working class and corporate elite on his side. It’s politically powerful, but economically flawed. 🧵👇

One reason for the tariffs was to force the annexation of Canada. The McKinley Tariff declined to make an exception for Canadian products. It was hoped this would make Canada more reliant on the US market, and push Canadians to become the 45th state. 🧵3/10
The image is a black-and-white scan of a newspaper article or editorial excerpt. The headline reads, "A TRIUMPH FOR CANADIAN BARLEY." The text discusses the McKinley tariff bill, describing it as an example of "protectionism run mad," and notes that it has failed to achieve its goal of affecting Canadian farmers. Specifically, it mentions that the bill increases the import tax on barley from 10¢ to 30¢ per bushel, but this has not reduced the importation of eight to twelve million bushels of barley yearly from Ontario, benefiting the western farmer. The text is formatted in a dense, traditional newspaper column style, typical of the late 19th or early 20th century.
