A.M. Edition for Feb. 23. After Friday’s Supreme Court ruling, new tariffs are on the table. But WSJ correspondent Tom Fairless says President Trump’s favored tool for remaking global trade hasn’t helped to shrink the U.S. trade deficit, with many U.S. trade partners now subsidizing their export-driven economies. Plus, violence erupts in Mexico after the military kills the country’s most powerful drug kingpin, escalating the government’s crackdown on cartels. And the once-boring ETF market is embracing more exotic and risky bets, with asset managers looking to grab a slice of the fees they generate. Daniel Bach hosts.
