- if they extended this to over-50s i would move to Spain
- Five charts show the impact on the economy after a year of sweeping trade changes by the Trump administration. Some *top-level* nerdery, from @anaswanson.bsky.social
- India signed a trade agreement with the European Union just last week. (That deal eventually provides EU companies preferential access to the Indian market.) The Economics Show with @soumayakeynes.ft.com has an excellent episode explaining the EU-India deal, with @nks.bsky.social & Ajay Srivastava.
- Trump says US will reduce his tariffs on India from 50% (25% Russian oil tariff + 25% reciprocal tariff) to 18%. (NB: 18% is in line with Trump's tariffs on other countries in South Asia) by Gavin Bade
- “the big TV” 🥇🥇🥇
- Huge thanks to @pkrugman.bsky.social for the invite to be on the show — really fun conversation on all things trade policy, tariffs, and global weirdness. Also confirming for family record-keeping purposes: this is indeed my “talking to a Nobel Laureate” face.
- Trump has imposed A LOT of tariffs on small / mid-sized countries, stopping their exports to the US. If these countries are no longer allowed to sell to the US market, their companies have to sell somewhere else to achieve scale. The other major large economy out there is China. by Morgan Phillips
