The Wall Street Journal (Opinion)

U.S. right-of-center / pro-business conservative

WSJ Opinion is owned by Dow Jones, part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, and is editorially separate from the Journal's news reporting. It takes a free-market, limited-government conservative line that generally favors Republican policy priorities like tax cuts and deregulation, but it has repeatedly broken with the Trump administration on tariffs and trade. Its current posture toward the administration is mixed: supportive on tax and deregulation moves, sharply critical on trade policy.
