The report describes this single factor as “the most catastrophic single-year trade disruption in the history of U.S. wine exports.” Seems bad. "American alcohol remains the only product completely barred from import in nearly all Canadian provinces.

What if instead of Trump’s real estate buddy and his son-in-law, he had sent — under Marco Rubio, the State Department does have a lot of expertise. Well, I do believe that the Iranians were actually desperate for a deal. I do believe that they were willing to give President Trump way more than they gave President Obama.

Smoke rises in the Fujairah oil industry zone, caused by debris after the interception of a drone on March 14. - Staff/ReutersBrent crude held above $100 a barrel as Iran stepped up attacks on key energy infrastructure in the Middle East and U.S. allies rebuffed President Trump’s call to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Crude oil prices remain about 40% higher than before US-Israeli strikes on Iran prompted Tehran to choke off the Strait of Hormuz, ordinarily a conduit for around a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas supply.
