    A Better Alternative to Trump’s Tariffs

    Anne O. Krueger

    US President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to impose across-the-board tariffs is unlikely to provide meaningful relief to workers displaced by import competition. A targeted adjustment program that combines retraining opportunities for younger workers and support for older ones would be more effective and less expensive.

    Trump Can Win Against China – in Ukraine

    Simon Johnson & Oleg Ustenko

    A much lower price cap on Russian crude, backed up with stronger sanctions enforcement, would leave Russia with no choice but to withdraw from Ukraine. That, in turn, would send a powerful signal to Russia’s allies, and to the Chinese leadership in particular: Anyone who attacks a neighbor will suffer crippling economic consequences.

     argue that forcing Russia to withdraw would yield a clearer win for the US than tariffs on Chinese imports.

    What Will Trump Do About China?

    US President-elect Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to take a confrontational approach to China, with tariffs as his weapon of choice. But unless his administration adopts a measured approach, his plans may end up harming American businesses and consumers, undermining US democracy, or even leading to military confrontation.
