Ingen har väl missat den senaste tidens handelskonflikt mellan USA och omvärlden, men vad behöver man känna till kring tullar? Vad är egentligen skillnaden mellan en tull och en tariff och varför har inte alla frihandelsavtal? Mitt i allt detta finns världshandelsorganisationen WTO, men vad gör de och hur har deras ställning påverkats mitt i allt detta? I avsnittet hjälper Kommerskollegiums chefsekonom Per Altenberg oss att förstå allt man behöver kunna kring ämnet och vilka de globala bråkstakarna är.Så vad gör Kommerskollegium? Kommerskollegium är Sveriges myndighet för utrikeshandel, EU:s inre marknad och handelspolitik. Vår främsta uppgift är att på olika sätt förbättra möjligheterna för internationell handel.Delikat lyssning på dig,Nicklas Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Red Alert: North India in a Heatwave Grip North India is reeling under a severe heatwave, with Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan placed under a red alert. Temperatures are soaring 5°C above normal, with Delhi's heat index touching 45.5°C and Rajasthan's Ganganagar hitting a blistering 48°C, the highest in the country. The India Meteorological Department blames the heat on a lack of thunderstorms and an anti-cyclonic system parked over the region. Relief is expected only after June 14, with light rain and gusty winds likely to bring a 2–4°C dip. Meanwhile, the south is facing the opposite extreme—Karnataka and coastal Maharashtra are under red alert for heavy rains, and Kerala and Tamil Nadu are bracing for extremely heavy downpours from June 14 to 17.  India's Big Nuclear Bet: Small Reactors, Big Goals India's nuclear journey just took a strategic leap—with Bharat Small Reactors (BSRs) leading the charge. Heavyweights like Reliance, Adani, Vedanta, Indian Railways, and JSW are onboard, powering a plan to build compact 220-MWe reactors for captive industrial use. The government's pitch: private players fund it, NPCIL runs it, and post-commissioning, the plant is handed to NPCIL for ₹1—while the user keeps the power. At least five BSRs are targeted by 2033, as India aims to scale nuclear capacity from 8.78 GW to 100 GW by 2047. Why now? Rising power needs from AI, crypto, and industrial growth demand low-carbon, stable energy. Nuclear fits the bill—and India is betting big on going small. Wheat Stays Home: India Stands by Export Ban Even with a record wheat harvest of 115.4 million tonnes expected this season, India is keeping its wheat export ban in place. In a WTO submission, the government cited food security concerns for itself and neighbouring nations. Imposed in May 2022, the ban has sharply reduced exports—from 4.7 million tonnes in FY23 to just 2,749 tonnes this fiscal. Only diplomatic and humanitarian shipments have been allowed. The government says global volatility, inflation risks, and upcoming festivals and state polls demand price stability. Critics argue it disrupts supply chains, especially after the Russia-Ukraine war hurt global grain flows. But for now, India's wheat isn't going anywhere.  Adani's ₹2.5 Trillion Playbook “We only do two things—energy and logistics,” says Sagar Adani, and that's exactly where the Adani Group is putting its money. The conglomerate plans to raise ₹2.5 trillion ($30 billion) over the next five years to fund a $100-billion capex spree. Even as the group navigates US investigations and controversies, it's doubling down with ₹1.3–1.7 trillion in annual investments, largely in infrastructure and clean energy. Adani Green, copper and aluminium expansions, a planned demerger of the airports business by FY28, and a mega cement merger are all part of the game plan. With low-cost power and transport as their advantage, and 20% of India's private capex under their belt, the Adanis are clearly not slowing down—they're powering through.

In this episode, we sit down with Simone Cipriani, one of the most influential voices in ethical fashion. As the founder of the UN's Ethical Fashion Initiative and a driving force behind the UN Alliance for Sustainable Fashion, Simone has spent decades reshaping the fashion industry from the inside out. From empowering artisans in marginalized communities to shaping future leaders at top universities in Paris and Milan, his work bridges global policymaking, education, and grassroots empowerment.We dive into the origins of the Ethical Fashion Initiative, its groundbreaking collaborations with the UN and WTO, and how the fashion industry can move from empty promises to real accountability. Simone shares powerful success stories from the field, his thoughts on circularity, tech innovation, and the role governments must play in curbing greenwashing. He also offers honest reflections on what still needs to change and where he draws his own motivation.Whether you're an aspiring designer, a sustainability advocate, or simply curious about how fashion can be a force for good, this conversation is a must-listen.

Join Renaud on a journey into the fascinating world of electronics manufacturing and how Apple's strategic moves in China transformed it. Our episode is inspired by the book "Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company," a book by journalist Patrick McGee, who offers a well-researched exploration of how Apple inadvertently established an advanced electronics industry in China. You will discover how Apple's relentless pursuit of excellence and zero defects not only influenced its contract manufacturers but also propelled the entire electronics supply chain into rapid development. Through countless interactions and challenges over the decades, Apple played a pivotal role in elevating Chinese manufacturers' capabilities, setting the stage for China's dominance in the electronics industry today.   Show Sections 01:01 – About the Author & Context 02:05 – Premise of the Book 03:06 – From In-House to Outsourcing in China 04:32 – Apple's Manufacturing Weakness in the 1980s 06:09 – Canon Printers & Apple's Foothold in Publishing 08:12 – Outsourcing Risks: Sharp's PDA & OEM-ODM Transition 11:05 – Shift from Japan to Taiwan 13:13 – iMac Development & DFM Challenges 16:11 – Upskilling Manufacturers Through Pressure & Innovation 18:18 – Problems with LG & Lessons in Control 21:01 – Foxconn's Rise & Apple's Trust Transfer 24:01 – China Joins the WTO & the Manufacturing Boom 26:01 – China's Superpower: Speed, Scale, Compliance 28:01 – Apple's Embedded Control Over Manufacturing 31:01 – “Chinification” & Why It's So Hard to Leave Now   Related content...

Apple, like all successful companies, became successful by maximizing profits and minimizing costs. However, to achieve this, they sold their soul to America's biggest adversary: the Chinese Communist Party. The story of how this transpired is chronicled in exceptional detail by my guest, Patrick McGee, who joins me to discuss his book “Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company” and explains whether or not he believes Trump can return manufacturing to America. - - -  Today's Sponsor: Balance of Nature - Go to https://balanceofnature.com and use promo code KLAVAN for 35% off your first order PLUS get a free bottle of Fiber and Spice.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Over a two-day summit in Geneva, U.S. and Chinese negotiators claimed initial consensus on a trade agreement, pausing escalated tariffs for 90 days to draft a comprehensive final implementing deal. Despite mutual praise for ‘substantial progress,' skeptics highlight China's history of unmet trade commitments since its 2001 WTO entry, urging caution before trusting any promises.

European Explorers kicked off globalization during the Age of Discovery as they ventured to find a see route to India and circumnavigate the globe. This was followed by the first wave of globalization from 1870 to 1914. Post WWII, the US led the establishment of a new financial order which culminated in China joining the WTO in December 2001.

"프린스턴에서 온 편지" 구독자들께 먼저 공개했던 에피소드를 2주 시차를 두고 올립니다. 미국과 중국이 무역전쟁의 전초전이라 할 만한 ‘관세 기싸움'을 한 차례 벌인 뒤 협상은 계속 지지부진한 상황에서 가장 걱정되는 시나리오는 두 나라가 서로의 전략과 목표를 크게 오해하는 상황이 펼쳐질 때일 겁니다. 뉴욕타임스 칼럼니스트 토머스 프리드먼이 에즈라 클라인 쇼에 출연해 한 이야기에 따르면, 미국은 중국을 여러모로 오해하고 있고, 중국은 중국대로 미국과의 장기전을 대비해 인권과 정치적 자유를 억압하는 내부 단속에 더 몰두하고 있다는 기사도 계속 나옵니다. 두 팟캐스트와 기사 내용을 바탕으로 두 나라 사이의 오해의 골이 어디서 비롯됐는지, 앞으로 어떻게 해야 할지를 짚어봤습니다.

This week on Sinica, I chat with veteran Wall Street Journal reporter Bob Davis, who has covered the U.S.-China relationship for decades. He recently published a new book called Broken Engagement, which consists of interviews with U.S. policymakers who were instrumental in shaping American policy toward China from the George H.W. Bush administration through the Biden administration. It's an eye-opening look at the individuals who fought for — and against — engagement with China.2:58 – Bob's thoughts on engagement: whether it was doomed from the start, when and why there was a shift, people's different aspirations for it and retrospective positioning, and whether it could have a transformative effect 13:28 – The Nancy Pelosi interview: her approach, her Taiwan visit, and her critique of capitulation to business interests17:18 – Bob's interviews with Charlene Barshefsky, Lawrence Summers, and Bob Zoellick: the WTO accession, the China shock, Zoellick's “responsible stakeholder” concept, and diplomacy as an ongoing process 27:24 – The Robert Gates interview: security-focused engagement, and his shift to realism 31:14 – Misreading Xi Jinping34:42 – Bob's interviews with Stephen Hadley and Ash Carter regarding the South China Sea 39:19 – The Matt Pottinger interview: his view on China and how COVID changed everything 46:14 – Michael Rogers' interview: cyber espionage and cyber policy 51:25 – Robert O'Brien's interview: the “reverse Kissinger” and Taiwan 54:14 – Bob's interview with Kurt Campbell: his famous Foreign Affairs essay, differentiating between decoupling and de-risking, and technology export restrictions and trade deals 59:28 – The Rahm Emanuel interview: his response to wolf warrior diplomacy1:01:57 – Bob's takeaways: the long-term vision of engagement, introspective interviewees, and his own increased pessimism Paying It Forward: Lingling Wei at The Wall Street Journal; Eva Dou at The Washington Post and her book House of Huawei: The Secret History of China's Most Powerful Company; and Katrina Northrop at The Washington Post Recommendations: Bob: The TV series Derry Girls (2018-2022) and Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000-2024); and Margaret O'Farrell's novels, including Hamnet and The Marriage Portrait Kaiser: The BBC and Masterpiece series Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on CounterSpin: The website of the Kairos Democracy Project has a quote from John Lewis, reminding us, “Democracy is not a state. It is an act.” Our guest Tanya Clay House is board chair at Kairos and a longtime advocate for the multiracial democracy that the Trump White House seeks to denounce and derail — in part by erasing the history of Black people in this country. As part of that, she's part of an ongoing project called Freedom to Learn and its present campaign, called #HandsOffOurHistory. Corporate news media evince lofty principles about the First Amendment, but when people actually use it, the response is more telling. When USA Today covered activism in Seattle around the WTO, it reported that, “Little noticed by the public, the upcoming World Trade Organization summit has energized protesters around the world.” You see how that works: If you're the little-noticing “public,” you're cool; but if you band together with other people and speak out, well, now you're a “protester,” and that's different — and marginal. Whatever they say in their Martin Luther King Day editorials, elite media's day-to-day message is, “Normal people don't protest.” In 2025, there's an ominous addendum: “Or else.” We hear from Danaka Katovich, co-director of the feminist grassroots anti-war organization CODEPINK, currently, but not for the first time, at the sharp end of state efforts to silence activists and activism.   The post Tanya Clay House on Freedom to Learn / Danaka Katovich on Attacks on Activists appeared first on KPFA.

Today we're diving into a controversial global power play: how China claims “developing nation” status at the WTO — and why that label is a big f*ing deal.** Even though China's the second-largest economy in the world, it still gets benefits meant for struggling nations. We break down how that status gives them trade advantages, longer timelines for environmental rules, subsidies, and why the U.S. and other countries are calling BS. We'll talk about the double standard China plays — acting like a superpower when it suits them, but claiming underdog status when the rules get tight. We'll also cover the WTO's broken system, why reform is so hard, and what this means for American workers, tariffs, and global trade.

Larry Ostola speaks with Nick Etheridge and Phil Calvert about their book, Supervising a Peace that Never Was: Recollections of Canadian Diplomatic Personnel in Indochina, 1954–1973. Supervising a Peace that Never Was: Recollections of Canadian Diplomatic Personnel in Indochina, 1954–1973 is a collection of essays written by former Canadian diplomats who served on international commissions in Indochina. These individuals were initially deployed to oversee the implementation of the 1954 Geneva Accords (through the International Commission for Supervision and Control, or ICSC) and later, in 1973, to monitor compliance with the Paris Peace Agreement (under the International Commission of Control and Supervision, or ICCS). Over the course of two decades, young Canadians were posted to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos—regions in which Canada had previously played a minimal role. The chapters that follow reflect their personal memories and experiences during these diplomatic missions. Read the full book here: https://www.uvic.ca/research/centres/capi/assets/docs/books/supervising-a-peace-that-never-was.pdf Nick Etheridge joined External Affairs in 1967 and held postings in Australia, Vietnam, and Europe, including roles in the CSCE. He served as Canada's representative in Cambodia (1993), Chargé d'Affaires in the Baltic States (1993–95), and High Commissioner to Bangladesh (1996–99). He retired in 2002 as Director of the Defence Relations Division. Phil Calvert joined the Department of External Affairs in 1982 and served in Beijing during three postings. He held key roles in trade negotiations, including as Deputy Chief Negotiator for China's WTO accession, and was Ambassador to Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos from 2011 to 2016. He retired in 2016.

This episode of the China Global podcast discusses evolving disputes between China and South Korea, specifically regarding their unresolved maritime boundary in the Yellow Sea. There is a long history of fishing disputes between the two countries in the Provisional Measures Zone (or PMZ) of the Yellow Sea, which is where their exclusive economic zones overlap. Although China and South Korea have engaged in negotiations over the years, they have yet to come to an agreement on their boundaries in the Yellow Sea.Taking advantage of the persisting disagreement on delimitation of maritime borders, China has employed gray zone tactics in the Yellow Sea to expand its territorial presence in the region. In the most recent dispute, China installed a new steel structure in the PMZ, causing a maritime standoff between Chinese and Korean coast guards.To discuss recent developments in the Yellow Sea and China's broader gray zone tactics in the maritime realm, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Ray Powell, the Director of SeaLight, a maritime transparency project at Stanford University's Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation. Ray is also the co-host of the Why Should We Care About the Indo-Pacific podcast, and a 35-year veteran of the US Air Force. Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:43] Strategic Significance of the Yellow Sea[03:12] Expanding Chinese Control in the Region[04:08] Chinese Maritime Installations [05:20] Are these installations found in other regions?[06:00] Gray Zone Tactics in the South China Sea [08:20] Maritime Militia Activity in the Yellow Sea[09:02] 2001 Korea-China Fisheries Agreement[10:34] Testing the Waters with South Korea[12:09] Navigating South Korean Policy Dilemmas[13:48] Rehabilitating China's Imagine in Korea[15:14] Environmental Issues in Disputed Waters[17:18] Countering Chinese Activities in the Yellow Sea[19:40] SeaLight Tracking and Deciphering Chinese Actions

Glenn Beck Special. How So-Called 'Free Trade' DESTROYED American Jobs As the markets spin from President Trump's tariff strategy and the globalists clutch their pearls, Glenn Beck zooms out to see the bigger picture — the story of how elite-driven trade policies over the last 30 years gutted America's middle class. Deals like NAFTA and China's WTO entry sounded like progress to a lot of people, but they left devastation in their wake, killing jobs, draining small towns, and fueling an opioid epidemic in the heartland. To understand Trump's tariffs, you have to understand the real human cost behind tens of thousands of shuttered U.S. factories and the erosion of the American dream. No one knows the toll of the real human cost better than journalist Salena Zito, who wrote in the Washington Post, “What I learned about ‘America First' in a Pennsylvania steel mill.” U.S. Steel workers who once opposed Japan's investment now welcome it because “if this deal doesn't happen, these jobs will be gone.”  She rejects the claim that Americans don't want manufacturing jobs anymore and are scared of Trump's tariffs. “There's a very different feel in the middle of the country. ‘This might pinch now, but this is better not just for my kids, grandchildren — this is better for my country.'” Glenn argues Trump's tariffs aren't just policy — they're a rebellion against managed decline and a high-stakes gamble to restore American self-reliance.    Watch this video at- https://youtu.be/S0SSdipbsuc?si=IkIeTCE3pYD716Dd Glenn Beck 1.43M subscribers 14,566 views Premiered 5 hours ago #nafta #glennbeck #theblaze ► Click HERE to subscribe to Glenn Beck on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2UVLqhL ► Click HERE to subscribe to BlazeTV: get.blazetv.com/glenn ► Click HERE to subscribe to BlazeTV YouTube:    / @blazetv   ► Click HERE to sign up to Glenn's newsletter: https://www.glennbeck.com/st/Morning_...

Trade Negotiations with Japan: President Trump met with Japanese officials to discuss trade negotiations, resulting in positive feedback on social media. Discussions included military support costs and trade fairness. Japan has a long-standing military alliance with the US, with many American troops stationed in Okinawa. Japan's Prime Minister stated that Japan won't rush to reach a deal and does not plan to make big concessions. Global Tariff Policies: Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on nearly every country, with higher reciprocal tariffs on significant trading partners like Japan, Vietnam, the EU, and China. A 90-day pause on higher tariffs was announced for all countries except China, which faced a 245% tariff on imports to the US. The Chinese regime responded with higher tariffs on US products, leading to a rapid back-and-forth in the trade war. China's Response: China appointed Lee Chong as its new trade negotiator, signaling a potential shift in negotiation style. Lee has a background in the WTO and supports free trade. The Chinese Foreign Ministry expressed a willingness to negotiate, indicating a change in rhetoric. Trump's Broader Policies: Trump emphasized the need for fair trade and national security, particularly concerning semiconductors and the electronic supply chain. The administration's authority to detain migrants at Guantanamo Bay is expanding, targeting those with connections to transnational criminal organizations.

Janet Yellen calls rebuilding American manufacturing a "pipe dream" — but it's not ignorance. It's the plan. For decades, our political elite, from the Bush dynasty to the Biden administration, have worked hand-in-glove with globalist powers to offshore American industry, sabotage our tax code, and strip this nation of economic sovereignty. From NAFTA to China's WTO entrance, to blocked rare earth mining and manipulated energy policies, every move has been deliberate. This isn't about trade — it's about control. It's about erasing borders, crushing independence, and making America dependent on foreign power. Trump's tariffs? They're not just economic tools — they're acts of resistance in a war for the soul of the republic.

[WEEKEND RECAP 04-12-25] I'm old enough to remember when the national catchphrase wasn't “Build Back Better,” but BUY AMERICAN. It wasn't a marketing slogan—it was a wake-up call. People started noticing that the “Made in the USA” label was disappearing faster than Joe Biden memory at a press conference.Entire industries were being shipped overseas like suitcases with broken wheels. And instead of fighting for American jobs, we built a system that punished companies for making things here, and rewarded them for setting up shop in places where labor costs less than a vending machine soda.

On today's show we are looking at recent history. We know that history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. We are going to look and see what we can learn from recent protectionist sentiments that were supposed to help.The trade war of the 1930's resulted in a 60% reduction in global trade. The impact was much more confined because international trade made up a small percentage of each country's GDP compared with today. No we have a much more meaningful comparison. Let's look at Brexit which was the UK's attempt to regain control over their national agenda leading up to the 2016 referendum.These arguments collectively painted a picture of a UK potentially more independent, prosperous, and secure outside the European Union framework.So the question for you is whether any of this sounds similar to what we are hearing from the White House? Let me be clear, I have no stake in this agenda. I'm neither supporting not opposing the current White House initiatives. I'm simply seeing parallels at two different points in history. Brexit is a play on words, the combination of Britain and Exit. Of Course Britain was a founding member of the European Union and a strong proponent of the benefits of a single market with freedom of movement. The EU formed part of the globalization trend that The World Trade Organization was a structure created in part by the US in which the rules of international trade were established that made it fair for countries that formed part of the WTO. But now the US seems intent on breaking apart the WTO and negotiating individual trade deals with each nation based on criteria defined by the current White House. The US is also clearly trying to secure its borders.These goals sounds incredibly similar to the Brexit arguments. In the years since Brexit, the UK has demonstrably suffered as a nation.  The British pound lost value. The UK lost a lot of jobs and manufacturing. The UK has been isolated politically and economically.

I do business with China. They don't play by the rules. They've been in the WTO for decades. They have never abided by any of the rules they agreed to when they came in for decades. They cheat, they steal, they steal IP. I can't litigate in their courts. They take product, technology, they steal it, they manufacture it and sell it back here. Nobody has taken on China yet, not the Europeans, no administration for decades. As someone who actually does business there, I've had enough. I speak for millions of Americans who have IP that have been stolen by the Chinese. 400% tariffs tomorrow morning!”CHINA: Senator Moody is right.

For today's episode, Lawfare General Counsel and Senior Editor Scott R. Anderson sat down with Lawfare Contributing Editor Peter Harrell, who was previously Senior Director for International Economics on the National Security Council, and Professor Jennifer Hillman of the Georgetown University Law Center, a former member of the WTO's appellate body and senior U.S. trade official, to discuss the new global tariffs that President Trump imposed last week and the legal fight that is beginning to emerge over them.Together, they discussed how dramatic a break the Trump administration's policies are from past practice, the logic behind them (or lack thereof), and whether his use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose them will really survive judicial scrutiny.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

The Trump administration is poised to levy 25 percent tariffs on all foreign-made automobiles and components on April 2, with temporary exceptions given to companies that import vehicles or parts under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) until the government creates a process for applying those duties, according to the White House.   I couldn't care less if they raise prices, because people are going to start buying American-made cars,” he said. “I couldn't care less. I hope they raise their prices, because if they do, people are going to buy American-made cars. We have plenty.” The president emphasized that he wasn't concerned about car prices increasing.

Thirty years ago, the U.S. helped create the World Trade Organization, a group of countries linked by a common set of free trade agreements. But then the U.S., starting with the Obama administration, turned against the WTO. This leaves a void where there should be a referee to settle trade disputes between countries. On today's show, how American grievances paralyzed the WTO's dispute settlement system and what happens when the U.S. no longer wants to play by the rules it once agreed to.
