Important thread here . . the big impact of a 10% Trump tariff would not be the static deadweight losses, but the end of the trading system -> retaliation against the US, discrimination agst US in other markets, end of GATT rules, and a mess that would be very hard to unwind.

The Inflation Reduction Act went into effect one year ago Wednesday (Aug 16, 2022). In Korea and Europe, anger quickly emerged when it seemed IRA's tax credits for electric vehicles would discriminate against their exports. Yet US imports of EVs have boomed. What happened? 1/5
