While hosting Ambassador Greer, the former USTR manipulated pay data to claim that services jobs had overtaken manufacturing.

Lawmakers from member states of the European Union agreed to measures last week to stop drug shortages and fix chronic Asian dependencies for critical medicines, this time spurred by worries over the antibiotics supply chain.

A Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship hearing held last week had only one manufacturer serving as a witness. He liked the tariffs because they stopped the bloodletting of cheaper imitations from China. However, he told the Senate that changes could be made to existing tariff policy to help lower costs as commodity and other input prices are rising fast.

The clock is ticking on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. On July 1, 2026, the three parties are scheduled to sit down for the formal “joint review” required by the deal itself. Under the terms USMCA’s drafters wrote into the agreement, the entire arrangement automatically expires on July 1, 2036 unless every government affirmatively recommits to it.
