One thing that stood out to me in the article is the contradiction between “America First” industrial policy and the cancellation or stalling of domestic energy and infrastructure projects.
If the goal is energy security and industrial resilience, then generation capacity, logistics infrastructure and stable input costs become strategic assets.
The piece also touches on something broader:
modern economies compete through infrastructure efficiency, energy access, supply-chain reliability and investment continuity as much as through tariffs or political messaging.
When long-term projects become unstable, capital allocation and industrial planning tend to weaken with them.
