I’m devastated by the tragic death of legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner. I interviewed him in 2018. He defended his progressive politics, and played along when I asked if his 70s fictional father-in-law, Archie Bunker, was an early indicator of politics today: RIP

Career plot twist: I’m taking a two-year break from daily journalism, and a break from Washington, D.C.  Initial cause: A meaningful and exciting diplomatic assignment for my wife in Ankara, Turkey. What I’m doing: Returning to school. Getting a master’s in a field I expect to write about for years to come. Artificial Intelligence policy.

Please see a joint statement from United States Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and myself:   Today, United States Secretary of Commerce @howardlutnick and Premier of Ontario Doug Ford had a productive conversation about the economic relationship between the United States and Canada.   Secretary Lutnick agreed to officially meet with Premier Ford in Washington on Thursday, March 13 alongside the United States Trade Representative to discuss a renewed USMCA ahead of the April 2 reciprocal tariff deadline. In response, Ontario agreed to suspend its 25 per cent surcharge on exports of electricity to Michigan, New York and Minnesota.
