The Trump-China trade relationship reminds me of my middle school love life: On one week, off the week, high drama, passing notes, heartache, renewal, gossip, and we did it all again the next week.

The reality, of course, is that despite the drama, no-one was making long-term commitments.

There's a decent chance that the Supremes will strike down Trump’s extra special brand new 100% China tariff, as unconstitutional. And so it's doubly notable how much markets panicked, given the (roughly) 50% chance it won’t happen. The market drop understates the damage Trump's trying to inflict.

“Don't worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment.”
Trump: Don't worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment.
He doesn't want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!! President DJT

Over the past few years, Beijing has been mirroring the U.S. economic-security toolkit. China is developing its own architecture to manage risk, preserve chokepoints, and respond in kind. It's also learning from the United States.

That is different from what the admin said. They claimed it was coming out of DOD R&D funds. Tariff money cannot be touched by the Trump Regime without congressional approval.

To date, Starmer has been hugely effective at reconciling closer links with China, 'reset' with the EU and a good relationship with Trump. That balancing act is only going to get harder. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Having been burnt by tariffs twice, American farmers and Chinese buyers will probably seek to reduce their mutual dependence. That is a boon for soyabean farmers in Brazil

Donald Trump’s trade war has cemented Brazil’s place as the soyabean superpower
