Donald Trump’s tariff campaign has a clear geopolitical winner, and it’s not the United States. It’s China.
After the U.S. president announced steep tariffs earlier this month on imports from many countries around the world, including some of America’s closest trading partners and military allies, markets plunged, so Trump backed down significantly. But the damage is done: The most striking thing about Trump’s original tariff list, which included islands inhabited mostly by penguins but excluded Russia and North Korea, is how harsh it was to countries that for decades have based their security on working with the United States.

Why can’t you talk about the actual issue? The issue is unfair trade. IN YOUR OPINION, how many years should the US continue to be ok with our trading partners putting tariffs on US products?
