[Global Trade Alert @gtalert]

Is geopolitical rivalry rewiring global value chains?

@gtalert founder @SimonEvenett says #trade data is lacking, which contributes to "misleading narratives."

For more on the problems with Trump's tariff ideas, a just out blog post from Maurice Obstfeld and I @PIIE on https://t.co/kUAu6Rbp0G and a policy brief from Mary Lovely and I, https://t.co/xi3F3dmYR6

🧵 (1/6) In a just released @PIIE blog, Maurice Obstfeld and I examine the limits of Trump’s desire to replace income taxes with tariffs. In short, a full replacement is impossible. And, if you push this policy to its limit, it would be bad by any metric.
