⬇️ Good piece by Jonathan Kanter @JKBustertruster, ex-AAG @JusticeATR, on deliberate circumvention of antitrust scrutiny (was there). Pay for top talent, leave some money behind for original investors (dress up as you like), everyone happy.

Thoughts on Europe’s predicament - everyone focuses on U.S. tariffs but China is also beating us down. That’s the clear message from @SanderTordoir @Brad_Setser @michaelxpettis but European elites are in deep denial. Across the board.

Probably the most important chart for the world economy right now -- Chinese export growth in both q1 and q2 was close to 10%; Chinese import growth has been flat (q2) or negative (q1). With exports 20% of GDP, implies a huge net export contribution . 1/

No. Don’t think we are all fools. Watching UvdL totally inept next to Trump playing with the little girl was excruciating. The DG Trade team equally inept sitting there like turkeys. Europeans are better than their useless elite.
The EU-US trade outcome gives planning security for the European economy. The 🇪🇺 Commission avoided serious harm. Nevertheless, this is only damage control. We must keep pursuing new trade deals and creating a true European Single Market. The EU remains strong.

So just as Europe got its "letter" (30%. ) from what appears to be President Trump's #RandomTariffGenerator, I discuss with @oren_cass @AmerCompass and @SanderTordoir @CER_EU what motivates the conservative US view that "Europeans had it too good for too long", and the
