NYT fact check on a level playing field on trade for the US is not correct. The US has faced an uneven playing field for three decades- efforts to correct this were made under Reagan and Lighthizer for Japan's unfair trade in the 1980's, under DJT and Lighthizer as Trade Representative in the first term (and now in the second term) for China's unfair trade under new USTR.

Tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China are fentanyl tariffs for illegal fentanyl flows into the US with loss of 490,000 American lives over 12 years.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
