Trump Will Waive Federal Permitting Requirements for L.A. Rebuild, Implores Mayor Karen Bass to Do Same

President Donald Trump intends to waive virtually all federal permitting requirements to expedite the rapid rebuilding of infrastructure destroyed by the wildfires in Los Angeles County in recent weeks. He is calling on local officials to do the same.

Trump detailed his plan during a roundtable with local officials in the county after touring areas singed by numerous fires, which have claimed at least 28 lives and destroyed more than 16,000 structures, according to Cal Fire.

“I also had the concept of getting some of the best developers in the country; I’ve had so many calls from developers, and they want to come in–they don’t want anything–they just want to come in and help,” Trump said. “And they really know how to get things done and get things built.”

Mexico and Canada Deserve Tariffs

Free trade must be a two-way street.

...

Canadian and Mexican exporters enjoy largely duty-free access to the U.S. market, but American exporters do not enjoy the same level of access to its neighbors’ markets. Since NAFTA came into effect in 1994, Canada and Mexico have extracted more value from American consumers than they have provided to American businesses. Every year since 1995, the United States has run a trade deficit with both countries. The current balance of trade greatly favors Mexico and Canada. Canada and Mexico each send around 75 percent of their total exports to the United States, while American exports to both markets combined comprises only about 30 percent of the U.S. total.

Canada and Mexico deliberately exploit America’s economic openness through policies that defy the expectations of a free-trade pact. In Canada, the resilient remnants of its longstanding protectionist policies still shield politically favored domestic industries from American competition. Mexico, by contrast, maintains few formal trade barriers but excludes foreign firms with an industrial policy toolkit including nationalization. Neither are reliable partners in any kind of economic security framework to counter Chinese influence; much must be done to enable U.S. firms to flourish elsewhere in the USMCA, as the others have done. Canada and Mexico deserve U.S. tariffs.

Green is boring. There is red, blue, and yellow too. And it gets even more complicated if it's a bizzaro superman

Commies in Colombia had it in for US corn already!

The agribusiness officials, who asked to remain anonymous, said they fear Petro, Colombia's first leftist president in modern times, will begin the investigation soon and impose countervailing duties on the grounds U.S. farm subsidies make sales to Colombia unfair to Colombian corn producers.

The U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement includes a duty-free tariff rate quota for corn.

Colombian meat producers, particularly the poultry industry, have become dependent on U.S. corn for feed, and business leaders said if Colombian meat producers have to pay tariffs on imported U.S. corn for feed, it will raise their operating costs and ultimately affect consumer prices. Business leaders also said the relatively small Colombian corn industry cannot quickly increase production to meet feed needs.

In a report released this week, FAS said Colombian corn production is forecast to decline because lower international corn prices and Colombian peso appreciation have negatively impacted domestic corn prices and discouraged farmers from expanding cultivation.

The U.S. share of Colombian corn imports has averaged about 70% in recent years, but Colombia also is importing more from Brazil and Argentina. Still, FAS continues to see strong export sales from the U.S. in coming years.
