A trio of fact sheets just being released, saying the president has signed some executive orders on trade, formalizing some moves, some of which he had threatened, some of which are new. The first is the president says he's going to be revoking entirely the dimminimous threshold for all packages coming in from abroad.It'll be taking effect at the end of August.
