When President Donald Trump visited a Whirlpool factory in Ohio in August, he boasted that his trade policy had led to the creation of about 200 jobs for the appliance manufacturer at the plant.But in slapping tariffs on appliances and components imported from China in response to Whirlpool’s pleas, the Republican incumbent ultimately hurt American consumers, as prices for washing machines and dryers soared.The example underscores the double-edged impact of the US leader’s aggressive trade tactics, which have produced landmark...
US President Donald Trump scrambled Wednesday to quell an uproar over his failure to explicitly denounce white supremacist groups during his debate debacle with Joe Biden, who branded his election rival a “national embarrassment.”The bitter adversaries returned to the campaign trail one day after their off-the-rails showdown in Cleveland made headlines less for the substance than for its unrestrained chaos.The toxic shout fest-with Trump constantly interrupting and Biden launching personal attacks-even prompted the overseeing Commission on Presidential Debates to announce...

The United States slammed a World Trade Organization ruling Monday that favored Canada in a longstanding battle over lumber imports, holding the case up as further justification for Washington’s campaign to drastically reform the global trade body.The WTO’s dispute settlement body – long a target of attacks by US Trade Representative (USTR) Robert Lighthizer – agreed with Canada’s complaints that Washington had violated trade rules when imposing duties on lumber widely used in construction.Lighthizer called the findings “erroneous” and said...
The IMF is too gloomy in its outlook for US growth and oversteps its mandate in calling for Washington to reshape the American economy, a US official said Monday.In its annual review of the US economy, the fund said Washington has the financial firepower to fix the health care system, better support poor families with improved aid programs and tax credits, and improve jobless benefits to include self-employed workers.Mark Rosen, US representative to the fund’s board, said he agrees the...
