A tariff war with Mexico could be good for US, bad for China. Stay tuned.

just imagine all these countries choose China. And they'll do, as US is an unreliable partner

The world is a big place. A combined 3 billion folks call China and India home. Nations will trade around the USA. And leave the US picking up the pieces of failed isolationist policy for the next 10 plus years

Trump’s only weapon is tariffs but China holds the real power trade innovation and global influence. While the US isolates itself with threats, China builds partnerships & dominates markets.
The future belongs to those who create not those who bully.

China continues to bully and threaten its neighbours in the South China Seas while claiming mineral rights that international law says it has no right to claim.

Tariffs on Canada, a developed country which has chosen to trade primarily with the US, may cause it to reconsider.

The premier of Sask is already pushing to lift Canadian tariffs on Chinese cars. If trump is going to kneecap its auto industry, why not?

This is the part that MAGA simply doesn’t get. When allies band together against you…it erodes your influence!

Always nice to get a domestic news source amplifying treacherous propaganda aimed to divide international powers at our expense. Scare the masses. It’s fun.
