Reporting on the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, Politico interviewed ITIF's Nigel Cory, who noted that Democratic lawmakers wanted to use IPEF to come up with a new sort of gold standard digital trade agreement. But if they’re aiming to try and deliver something in November, this hardly lends itself to an ambitious outcome.”
