If the US is asking European and Asian allies to send their navies to the Strait of Hormuz, they should consider demanding an immediate cessation of all US tariffs on them in return. I don't think Trump would hesitate to make that demand, if the situations were reversed.
As someone who was in Paris in 2002 and 2003, it was not carbound. The change is nice and all, but we can also be honest about the starting point.
Paris, where I live, has transformed from a carbound into a bike-dominated city. In the process it became a trendsetter for the world's other cities. Now Paris's mayoral elections are a referendum on that shift. What lessons from Paris? Me @FinancialTimes as.ft.com/r/afafe14b-287…
