CargoNet reports $304.6M in losses, Scott Cornell says Q2 theft drop is no trend yet

Fewer cargo theft reports did not mean smaller losses during the second quarter, according to Verisk CargoNet’s analysis . The intelligence network documented 677 incidents across the United States and Canada. That total fell 26% from Q2 2025. It also dropped 14% from the previous quarter. Estimated cargo losses nevertheless climbed to $304.

Why is transit in goods free but trade is not?

In my previous two posts on the value of the WTO, I argued that when governments set trade policies independently, they focus on domestic effects but often overlook the costs imposed on trading partners. International trade agreements help governments take account of these cross-border spillovers (terms-of-trade externalities) by encouraging reciprocal negotiations over trade policy. While these negotiations will reduce trade protection, they will not necessarily lead to free trade. But if governments do not generally commit themselves to free trade, why has freedom of transit for goods been seen differently?
