Trump’s trade belligerence is damaging the house America built.

Are trade wars easy to win and is Trump both willing and capable of escalating the conflict with Beijing to an all-out trade war, hoping that China will sooner or later capitulate?

Competition can be healthy for both China and the US, provided it doesn’t get out of hand.

U.S. President Trump signed orders on imposing stiff and sweeping new tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. You may have heard about “Section 301” and “Section 232” investigations into steel, aluminum imports and unfair trade practices.
