The Saturday Wrap-Up - TRUMP NAMED THEM: The Real "Foreign Interests" - February 21, 2026

The Supreme Court tried to disarm Trump's tariff revolution. Treasury Sec. Bessent declared Hamilton's system the foundation of sovereignty. Meanwhile, 60 nations answered Trump's call at the Board of Peace. One system is dying. Another is born.

Susan Kokinda argues Trump’s response to the Supreme Court tariff ruling points beyond China to “foreign interests” tied to British Empire's Adam Smith free-trade ideology, defended by the US Chamber of Commerce and Cato Institute. She cites Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Ambassador Jamieson Greer framing the administration’s approach as Hamiltonian economic sovereignty, and says tariffs will continue under other laws, including a new 10% global tariff. She contrasts this with Thursday’s Board of Peace meeting, where 60 nations backed “peace through construction,” funding housing, security, and development, rejecting Kissinger-style managed conflict. She warns midterm demoralization risks ending Trump’s agenda.
