"US manufacturing ended 2025 with a thud, capping a rough year for the sector. To recap, manufacturers shed 63,000 jobs, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It wasn’t just labor that was hurting. The Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index clocked in at 47.9 for December, marking the 10th consecutive month of contraction as new orders were especially weak and costs at historically elevated levels.
Then there’s the Federal Reserve's Beige Book of regional economic conditions and surveys from the regional Fed banks, which have repeatedly documented cases of manufacturers delaying hiring and investment amid weak market conditions, rising costs, shrinking profit margins and persistent uncertainty. As for the “hard” data, manufacturing capacity and output, while incomplete, sagged through the Fall.
Overall, the evidence reveals a sector that’s stagnant at best, and a long way from the manufacturing renaissance President Donald Trump promised when he took office for a second time a year ago. No wonder administration officials have pivoted from predicting a factory boom in 2025 to now saying it will happen in 2026 and beyond."

Trump threatening tariffs like a pub bully, then backing down and calling it “strategy”.
Markets laugh. Allies panic. MAGA claps.
This isn’t leadership — it’s economic cosplay.

Trump escalates feud with Carney, threatening Canada with a 100% tariff over China trade deal
“If Carney ‘thinks he is going to make Canada a ‘Drop Off Port’ for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken.'”

"SOMEONE ALERT the Norwegian Nobel Committee: Against the odds, Donald Trump has succeeded in peacefully uniting the world.
Unfortunately, the world has been united against us.
This Pax (Ex) Americana era was illustrated Friday, as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney wrapped up a trip to China. This wasn’t just any old visit, either: It marked the first time a Canadian PM had been to the world’s second-largest economy since 2017—and based on the glamorous video Carney’s team released, it was a smashing success for Beijing.
Carney and Chinese President Xi Jinping unveiled a “new strategic partnership” between the two countries. Among the key planks of this agreement, China will reduce tariffs on Canadian canola seed, peas, and lobsters. It will also allow visa-free travel for Canadians, who are apparently eager for new tourism destinations.1 Canada, in turn, will allow 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles into its market at lower tariff rates.
Why is this a big deal? Because the U.S. government had been trying to contain China’s global economic influence. It had been trying to expand U.S. exports. And it had been working to prevent inexpensive Chinese EVs from blowing up the U.S. auto industry. But after a year of bullying, insulting, and threatening to invade our polite northern neighbor, we undermined all those objectives and drove a close friend into the arms of an adversary. After all, Trump declared just this week that Americans “don’t need” any products from Canada, even though the country is our second-largest trading partner."

How a good old-fashioned boycott got Canada to trade Kentucky bourbon for Canadian whisky | CBC News

"WHEN THE European Union increased tariffs on Chinese battery electric vehicles (EVs) in 2024, the logic was straightforward: raise prices and imports will fall. A study published by the Kiel Institute, a think-tank, estimated that higher levies would cause Chinese car exports to plunge by 25%. After more than a year, that forecast is wrong. According to China’s customs agency, car exports to Europe rose to nearly 1.2m in the 12 months to November, up by 26% from a year earlier (see chart 1). The data suggest that Europe’s failure to stem the rise of Chinese-made vehicles has less to do with weak tariffs than Chinese carmakers’ talent for steering around them.
Europe’s EV tariffs were designed to address what the European Commission calls the “unfair subsidisation” of Chinese producers by the state and restore a “level playing field”. But instead of imposing a uniform duty on all Chinese cars, the EU opted for a tailored approach. Extra tariffs were applied only to purely battery-powered vehicles, based on each carmaker’s estimated level of government support. On top of the bloc’s existing 10% import duty, BYD (China’s biggest producer of EVs) faced an additional 17%, Geely-owned brands 18.8% and SAIC 35.3%. Other Chinese carmakers were subject to tariffs of 20.7%. Hybrids were spared.
Rather than retreat, Chinese carmakers changed lanes, pivoting from EVs to hybrids, which combine electric motors with petrol engines. This shift is evident in the data. Whereas monthly Chinese EV sales to Europe have grown by 12% in the past year, exports of hybrids have surged by 155%, albeit from a low base (see chart 2). “It was only a matter of time before the Chinese manufacturers changed their strategy,” Beatrix Keim of Germany’s Centre for Automotive Research recently told Handelsblatt, a German newspaper. Hybrids are now the fastest-growing segment of China’s car exports..."

"Europe has sacrificed the ability to call out his violation of international treaties — such as the World Trade Organization’s requirement of the most-favoured nation principle. It has also fallen in with the idea that results are achieved through personalised bargaining between great men (and occasionally women), rather than the painstaking work of democratic deliberation and consensus building.
But note what these choices have cost Europe. It has shed all the political capital it could have mobilised to lead a coalition of countries in defence of rules-based trade and a concerted opposition to Trump. Not only that, it has betrayed its American friends, who had counted on Europe standing up to Trump while they struggled to do so themselves.
Most importantly, Europe is risking its political soul. It has put itself in a situation in which leaders cannot say publicly what they are actually trying to do. That is a recipe for distrust and a poison for democracy — and European liberal democracy in particular. How can voters endorse policies whose true nature cannot be admitted publicly (such as the promises to Trump not being real)? If the EU hypocritically accepts what economist Richard Baldwin terms the “grievance doctrine” of globalisation, how can it repel anti-European forces thriving on those views at home?"

Trump's focus on goods in the trade war? Big oversight. The US has a massive lead in digital exports (think cloud, streaming). Ignoring this could invite retaliatory tariffs, hurting Silicon Valley & risking a fragmented web & US tech edge. #DigitalServices #TradeWars #TechFuture

#Trump’s #tariff chaos offers valuable lessons about US & Trump himself
Applying these, countries can undercut Trump’s ability to #bully & #coerce
Lesson 1 is US economy is more fragile than expected
It’s potential for panic makes US economy more vulnerable than others
A second lesson is that Trump’s bombast belies weakness
When tariffs threatened his billionaire friends’ interests, he yielded

#Maine #GovernorJanetMills fires back after #Trump's demand for 'full throated apology'
by Randy Billings, Mon, March 24, 2025
Mar. 24—"Maine Gov. Janet Mills on Monday brushed off President Donald #Trump's weekend demand that she issue a 'full throated apology' for publicly challenging him during a White House event last month.
"The governor responded to Trump's social media post while at a public event in Bangor. But it was not an apology.
"Mills contested Trump's claims that he wants to protect women through his executive order barring #TransgenderAthletes from women's sports, pointing out that women in the United States and around the world will be hurt by his moves to eliminate #ForeignAid, attack #SocialSecurity and #Medicaid, and impose #tariffs that will spark #TradeWars and drive up consumer prices.
"'If the current occupant of the White House wants to protect women and girls, he should start by protecting the women and teenage girls who are suffering #miscarriages and dying because they can't get basic, life-saving health care in states across this country,' Mills said, according to the Bangor Daily News. 'If he truly cares about women and girls and people of this country, let's see the economic plan. Let's see the health care plan. Let's see the education plan.'
"Mills, who was in Bangor celebrating the purchase of a mobile home park by its residents under a new state law, added that 'if he cares about women and girls, he should talk about the little girls and boys and infants in #Sudan and other countries who are dying right now because he has cut off their supply of food and life-saving medicines.'"

@BenHigbie as far as #tariffs & #tradewars: you can’t #devalue the dollar enough to make manufacturing jobs in the US competitive. Even if #trump succeeds, worthless dollars will not appease #maga wannabe-middleclass. Manufacturing in the future will mostly rely on robotics, so, still they won’t have jobs
Looking forward to the mistrust that destroys US arms dealers
Trump disingenuously cares about all the death and destruction: he wants #ukraine rare earths & #gaza beach front
