Test test test test test test test how our own country fits into a regional arrangement or the globalized system entirely. How about way over here . We havent had anyone from this side. Hi there. Id like some clarification on how your calculations really work. As maybe one example, so the u. S. Raised tariffs on china and a few other countries, but it didnt do anything for instance with a tariff to switzerland and we did things with nafta. How do you balance that . A 20 tariff means more than a 10 or 8 , the number of countries, the volume, how do you do the calculations . We use the average applied tariff rate.

In the United States. The main battle is not between the United States and china or mexico or canada. Though there are skirmishes there to be sure.

Government has claimed the right to control basic aspects of american companys business practices, including the amount and type of content they must produce in various locations, the wages they must offer and prices they must pay for raw materials. As other countries follow suit with new tariffs and controls of their own, the damage is compounded. Markets

pressing thoughts they would like to address with the panel. right here in the front. the flaw in the current law? there is defamation, intimidation whenever we have a high profile case, there s a from people who think they can solve the problem or people who were injured who want a new law specifically for that issue. why do we need a new law in this case? do you want to start? rights work did not start with any high profile case. years ago when average people were being affected by this. this has been something that is happening private citizens for years. this is not some high profile case we are responding to out of a sense of now that has happened to someone famous we care. we care about this because the experience of victims has been that none of these laws work. if the image is out there, if it was not necessarily by someone trying to harass, and many of them do not, just to give you a concrete example, just a couple of weeks ago, the highway patrol officers who ha
