  • President Donald Trump is reportedly determined to take revenge on Senator Mitt Romney, who was the only Republican to break with his party colleagues and vote to remove Trump from office. 
  • "The only one that voted against us was a guy that can't stand the fact that he ran one of the worst campaigns in the history of the presidency," Trump said in a jibe aimed at Romney's failed presidential candidacy in 2012 on Thursday.
  • Among measures being considered by Trump are funding a candidate to run against Romney in 2024, or pressuring top operatives and donors not to work with the senator.

President Donald Trump is reportedly determined to take revenge on those he believes betrayed him during the impeachment trial — and at the top of the list is Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah.

Our narrative defeats our surroundings, every time.

Experts tell us how coronavirus will weaken China's position as a global trade partner — and endanger its phase-one deal with the US

Kevin Lamarque/Reuters The coronavirus is jeopardizing China's ability to meet obligations it agreed to as part of the phase-one trade deal with the US. China pledged to buy an extra $200 billion worth of US goods over the next two years, but the outbreak is harming the country's purchasing power and demand for numerous imports, according to Stephen Roach, senior lecturer at the Yale School of Management. The pandemic also delays the face-to-face meetings needed to coordinate such large purchases, said Mary Lovely, an economics professor at Syracuse University. Chinese officials could ask the US for leniency in enforcing the deal's timeline, but "we have no idea" how the Trump administration may respond, Lovely noted.
