New Factful Friday is up on LI! 🔗linkedin.com/pulse/trump-obs…
👉Services exports support four times more American jobs than manufactured exports, yet US policy is mesmerised by manufacturing.
👉Things you can drop on your foot dominate the debate even as the future of trade heads towards services.
▶️Tariffs only operate on things crossing borders physically.
▶️Tariffs can only directly protect jobs tied to making goods.
▶️But those sectors employ only about one in ten middle-class Americans.
💥The other nine out of ten work in service sectors, and for them tariffs are just part of the affordability crisis.
⭐That is the core mismatch. ⭐The romance-vs-reality gap. ⭐The manufacturing mesmerisation.

WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies Matters to Sustainable Livelihoods in Africa
The World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies (AFS) entered into force on 15 September 2025. As of the 14th WTO Ministerial Conference held in Yaoundé, Cameroon, in March 2026, 26 African members of the WTO had accepted the Agreement, including eight landlocked countries. Given the importance of marine capture fisheries for Africa’s food security and economy, implementing the AFS can significantly support sustainable development outcomes across the continent.
