Our team is working to model potential revenue from the new 301s. Bottom line - no one should be surprised. They said they were going to rebuild the tariff wall and they meant it. Revenue is needed, bond markets have made that clear.
📊 In new analysis, assistant director of trade Madeline Chalecki breaks down how the proposed rates fit into the broader tariff landscape, estimates potential tariff collections, examines the strategic logic behind the administration's approach, and explores which countries and sectors stand to gain—or lose—the most. ➡️atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ec…

In @washingtonpost, I urged @POTUS, @SecRubio to make Ekpar’s release a condition of progress with China— not a footnote or a talking point, but a named request posed directly to Xi.
Xi talks about people to people exchange. Ekpar participated in @StateDept program & imprisoned.

Last year at this time Wall Street was convinced Trump wouldn't follow through on his tariff threats (we had a different view @atlanticcouncil). As we head into 2026, Wall Street is making the same mistakes all over again as I write in today's @WSJopinion:
