Welcome to the Wall Street Week newsletter, bringing you stories of capitalism about things you need to know, but even more things you need to think about. I’m David Westin, and this week we told two sagas, one of the North American auto industry coping with President Trump’s policies, and the other of the city of New Orleans fighting back from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

Last October, we traveled to Monterrey, Mexico, for the story of the growing integration of the US and Mexican economies under the USMCA.
