Free Market Reflections with Steve Dittmer

By
With all the hoopla over the U.S.-China negotiations, the ratification of the re-done NAFTA trade deal (USMCA-CUSMA) hasn’t been in the news much. But its passage is critical to all three nations involved. The issue has shifted from the diplomats and negotiators to the politicians. That’s sad and bad. In the U.S., the treaty is […] Read more

Enough is enough on tariffs

Free Market Reflections with Steve Dittmer

USMCA frictions continue

Free Market Reflections with Steve Dittmer
