The Economist: Donald Trump picks the wrong trade fight with China
President Trump is confident in his approach to the trade war with China, believing that tariffs will lead to a rebalancing of trade. He claims previous administrations allowed China to undermine American jobs and industries, and that China will ultimately have to de-escalate due to their trade dependency.
Despite high tariffs imposed by China on American goods in retaliation, Trump and his aides maintain that the U.S. can withstand the economic pain. The administration's stance is that the trade dynamics will shift in favor of America as the tariffs take effect.

The Imaginative Conservative: Kant on History & Culture as a Means to Ethical Evolution

He presents a singular act of creation, contrasting it with the multiple divine interventions in Genesis, and emphasizes individual effort for human progress.
Kant argues that humanity evolves from a beastlike state to a more civilized condition, asserting that culture can provide freedom if it transcends nature. However, he acknowledges limitations in moral education and the challenges of human inequality, suggesting that a civil society based on autonomous decision-making is essential for moral development.
