April_Two

 Below, some resources so that one might have a better appreciation

of what is be coming on April 2, 2025. The list of Trump economic advisors

from the Financial Times Uk contains a number of highly skilled people.

But who puts all that together to make a decision might well be another story.


And, as Wilbur Ross has explained in the CBS piece, if tariffs are applied on a

per country basis, then there will be a temptation to run one's products

through low-tariff countries, and thus a lot of shenanigans!!
