Quote of the Day

“Economists are tallying the costs. Trump’s tariffs have pushed the U.S. effective tariff rate to roughly 17 percent — its highest level since the 1930s — according to Yale University’s Budget Lab. That’s expected to eat into corporate profits, raise inflation and dent growth. A new era of U.S. protectionism will eventually “reverberate through the entire global trading system,” Eswar Prasad, a professor of trade policy and economics at Cornell University, told The Financial Times.”
NYT's Andrew Ross Sorkin
