The Trade Wars have begun: Trump fired the biggest shot yet in the war by imposing tariffs on $34B of Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with tariffs of its own. As one economist told Bloomberg, “There is no obvious end to this.”

Trump’s embattled head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) who was the subject of unending ethics scandals and more than a dozen investigations has resigned. He has been replaced by Andrew Wheeler, a former coal lobbyist who also worked for Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe who famously carried a snowball on the Senate floor to dispute the impact of climate change. (I dare he try that this summer.)
