Trump's populism?

Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers

Laser focused on reducing prices for everyday Americans from Day One, the President has struck a deal that will lower the price of Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Jaguars, Aston Martin's, Range Rovers, and Minis. *No other consumer good received carveouts.

EU revives trade discussions with Pacific. This is another global Trump effect but can those seeking to strengthen a non U.S. order move fast enough to create a viable alternative to US-China centrality? https://t.co/qWnKSnZIC9

Millennials doing better than other generations at the same age. Time to stop complaining about how hard you’ve had it compared to the rest of us! https://t.co/9n92rJVeBS

The Brexit-Trump era now faces Labor resistance across much of the Anglosphere

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

Congratulations, @AlboMP on your election win. The UK and Australia are as close as ever — and we will continue to work together to deliver a brighter future for working people in both of our countries. https://t.co/jXG44lddAk

One of the big questions for the next 50 years: How much can reasonable middle powers in many regions do together to counter two unpredictable zero sum superpowers?

I spoke with Prime Minister @shigeruishiba this morning about building on the strong and long-lasting friendship between Canada and Japan.   I look forward to the work ahead to expand economic and security opportunities for both of our nations.

ABC predicting that Peter Dutton will lose his seat. He looks like he is going the way of Pierre Poilievre.

What is Vietnam like today? Young, ambitious, eager for recognition -- and hoping that America and other nations will see this country as a source of far more than war and refugees, 50 years on. With @tungngonyt https://t.co/V1BsbKKuTE

Giants of photojournalism who changed the way America saw Vietnam, war and their own country. A look back at the Vietnam War's powerful visual record and why photography then had so much power. https://t.co/ONRw8Ag9Bg

There are and will be a lot of stories about the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. Here's one (among a few) from me -- on what evolved in buildings still standing in Saigon that the Americans left. https://t.co/UdBeORI32S

Thoughtful add to “the end of the West as we know it.” But maybe this is not a regional century; maybe it’s an idea or cross-regional century with a label we haven’t yet agreed on. With disruption, agency gets dispersed and reorganized. https://t.co/mNYPhMcxlj

The US and Vietnam have spent decades working on reconciliation. With the 50th anniversary of the end of the war just a week away, the Trump administration wants its diplomats to talk less about how got here. Veterans are not happy. https://t.co/HzIWkuBN2r

Yuval Noah Harari on Trump’s fortress mentality and why we shouldn’t be surprised by his actions. A good baseline for understanding the current moment https://t.co/TrjIci065f
