DealBook Briefing: Who Will Replace Gary Cohn?

Critics' corner: The WSJ editorial board said Mr. Cohn's departure was "a significant blow" to Mr. Trump's presidency. The NYT editorial board said Mr. Cohn had done "an awful job," which still probably represented "the high-water mark for economic thinking" for this White House. And his former boss, Lloyd Blankfein, said he had served his country "in a first class way." Today's DealBook Briefing was written by Andrew Ross Sorkin on the road, and Michael J. de la Merced and Amie Tsang in London. The political bloc formally announced its plan to counterattack, including taxing American goods like Harley-Davidsons and bourbon and filing a challenge with the World Trade Organization.
