Underreported story (more about it tomorrow). The WTO said Trump national security tariffs were illegitimate; the Biden administration (!) told the WTO to stuff it 1/ https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/09/wto-ruling-trump-tariffs-violate-rules-00073282

@pkrugman It tells you a lot about the right that they'll ignore a big policy win -- the US President tells the WTO to cram it -- because he's not on "their team". There aren't any sincere policy positions over here -- it's just grievances and nihilism all the way down.
