Donald Trump's presidential campaign, followed by his post-election win and preparation for his second term, in which he has spoken nonstop about tariffs. Indeed, he recently said
One of the centerpieces of Donald Trump's election campaign was his plan to increase tariffs (i.e., import taxes) on a wide variety of goods entering the United States. He said that he would raise tariffs not just on Chinese goods, but also on many things imported from
Earlier this week, I read an article in FT Alphaville (https://www.ft.com/content/6b8462a4-b7b9-4bc9-af60-4c24e4491791) about the UK's Government Hospitality Wine Cellar (GWC), which the article playfully calls the country's "strategic wine reserve."
