China Piles Up Free Trade Deals as Trump Abandons Them
From deals with blocs including the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to bilaterals with tiny countries like Maldives, China’s FTAs already cover 21 countries .
The U.S. drops out of the top 10 in innovation
From energy to pharma, from the shale gas boom to lucrative lifesaving drugs, public research has everywhere laid the foundation for private profit.
As a share of the economy, funding for research has been falling for decades. Now it’s being cut to its lowest level as a percentage of GDP in 40 years. And Republicans want to see it fall even further: the budget blueprint that Trump released in March promises deep reductions in science funding.
China blasts Trump's new trade tariffs
South Korean Trade Minister Kim Hyun-chong called Trump's decision "excessive and a clear violation" of World Trade Organization rules.
South Korea plans to file a complaint with the WTO over the move to impose tariffs, Kim said at a meeting with industry officials.
Samsung added that it has hired more than 600 American workers at its new factory in South Carolina, which started producing washing machines this month.
LG added that it will "explore its options to try to mitigate the effect of this trade decision on American consumers, retailers and the people of Tennessee."
