Need to catch up on your summer reading?  Brookings always has some interesting reads… In the Brookings volume called “USMCA Forward 2024: Gearing Up for a Successful Review in 2026” has a number of noteworthy chapters. I found the final chapter on the USMCA Review and upcoming elections, and a path forward, to be a good read in and of itself. In this chapter, Joshua Meltzer and Steve Verheul suggest what could provide good footing leading to a successful Review. For the US, Canada and Mexico to agree on types of issues to be part of the Review (and propose that the three Parties should careful to not include revising dispute settlement decisions by USMCA panelists.  They also suggest that Parties should at the forefront of the Review, to agree to clear the table so to speak on what issues should not be part of a Review. They highlight a preferred outcome that the US, Canada and Mexico agree to an extension of the Agreement and use the Review to begin a process to address new issues with an agreed agenda on a forward-looking workplan. 🚣♂️

Terrible format. Should ask same question of all the candidates, not just one or two. Allowing all the candidates to answer same question will save time on interruptions.

🇬🇧 It seems fourteen years of #Conservative rule will be coming to an end in the United Kingdom this year. Although the proof will always be in the pudding, Adam McCartan celebrates its seeming inevitability. In this article, McCartan laments the last five years under Conservative rule, underlining unfulfilled promises and corruption. Despite Boris Johnson's ambitious pledges in 2019, including major infrastructure and public service enhancements, McCartan says that most were not realised. McCartan contends that political instability and frequent leadership changes undermined the role of government and engendered significant mistrust. McCartan emphasises the urgent need for change urging voters to embrace this opportunity for national renewal. https://lnkd.in/eYd_PcEQ #uk #politics #tory #corruption #BorisJohnson

Today, Donald Trump was the target of a significant attack that has captured widespread attention. The details of the incident are still emerging, but this event marks a critical moment in the ongoing political landscape. Interestingly, this attack might galvanize his supporter base, potentially benefiting his campaign by framing him as a victim of political aggression and rallying his followers around a common cause. In contrast, a recent article in UK news praised the seamless transfer of power following their latest election, highlighting the stability and continuity of their democratic process. This comparison underscores the differences in political climates and the varied challenges leaders face in maintaining public trust and order. As more information becomes available, it will be crucial to understand the implications and responses from various stakeholders. #politics #trump #donaldtrump #usa #election #democracy
