US president set to tighten grip on economic information and policymaking after controversial sacking of BLS official

“I don’t know that there’s any grounds at all for this firing,” said Beach. “And it really hurts the statistical system. It undermines credibility in BLS.”

Trend adds to pressure on Donald Trump over inequality as he threatens to undermine reliability of economic data

The tariffs will kick in on August 7 instead of August 1, which had previously been touted as a hard deadline.
