I’m pleased to announce my publication of my newest magazine article.  The piece, which appears in The Spectator USA, explains why President Trump won his bet that a tariff threat would push Mexico to work harder to stop migrants traveling through its territory to the United States – and why he shouldn’t resort to this gambit again.

In addition, it was great to be quoted in John Carney’s post on Tuesday for Breitbart.com reporting that all those supposed experts who predicted raging consumer price inflation resulting from Mr. Trump’s various tariffs were dead wrong.  Here’s the link.

The video is also available of my Tuesday appearance on the American-Israeli TV network i24News.com.  Click here, and press the download button to access this interview on the Trump Mexico tariffs threat.  I also appeared (on short notice) on this subject on i24 on June 5, but unfortunately, the recording is no longer available.

Last Friday, June 7, I debated trade specialist Claude Barfield of the American Enterprise Institute at a lunchtime event at AEI.  The program was not video-ed, though.

I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be returning to John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show tonight.  I’m not yet sure about the segment’s timing, though, and the best way to find out is to follow me on Twitter (@AlanTonelson) if you don’t so do already.  I’ll be sending out that info via that platform.  The subject, not surprisingly, will be an update of the U.S.-China trade wars.

You can listen live on-line here.  And as usual, I’ll post a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

Speaking of podcasts, one’s on-line of my latest appearance on the program – a very short notice interview on Monday night.  Click here for the usual robust discussion involving John, co-host Gordon G. Chang, former Michigan Republican Congressman Thaddeus McCotter, and me.

Also, the video is now available of my Monday night interview on the American-Israeli TV network i24News.  To view this segment, which covered President Trump’s proposed border security-related tariffs on Mexico, click here and then press the download button.  The file will take a few moments to transfer and, at least in this case, you might have to sit through a few more moments of ads before you can open it up.

I’m pleased to announce the publication of my latest op-ed article.  Posted by The National Interest today, it presents a trove of data – including from the latest U.S. monthly trade report – showing that even though the outcome of the current U.S.-China trade talks is anyone’s guess, economic disengagement between the two countries is already underway.  Moreover, the process has sped up lately under President Trump.  Here’s the link.

The article was also re-posted on Yahoo.com.

Also, it was great to see Breitbart.com‘s John Carney quote my views in his latest post debunking widespread claims that the Trump tariffs on steel and aluminum, and on products from China, have already stoked raging consumer price inflation.  Click here to read.

I’m pleased to announce that a new op-ed of mine on the China trade talks has just been published by The Washington Times.  Click here to read the piece, which explains why a new, high tariff normal is coming to U.S.-China economic relations, and why these and other tighter curbs on commerce represent the only long-term approach that can adequately serve American economic interests.

Chang, and former Michigan Republican Congressman Thaddeus McCotter update the fast moving negotiations between Washington and Beijing.  You can listen live on-line to the segment, scheduled to begin at 9 PM EST, at this link.  And as usual, if you can’t tune in or log on, I’ll be posting a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

Nothing like the news business to upset the best laid plans of bloggers – especially in the Trump era!  I was literally minutes away from posting an item on President Trump’s new China tariff threats when I got a query from a national newspaper op-ed editor asking for a piece on the subject.  So I was only too glad to send him what I had just completed – and you’ll be able to read it by Wednesday morning at the latest.

But that doesn’t mean it still won’t be a busy news day today.  Tonight at 9:45 PM EST I’ll be back on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show to help John and co-host Gordon G. Chang provide crucial background on the latest China trade war developments.  Click here to listen on-line, and if you can’t tune in, I’ll be posting a link to the podcast as soon as it’s available.

Beforehand, moreover, I’ll be appearing on Israel’s i24News television network at 7:30 PM EST to brief its audience on today’s developments.  Unfortunately, viewing i24News on-line requires a paid subscription, and segments aren’t archived for visitors.  But you can sign up for a free trial subscription at this link.
