The trade war headlines definitely sells papers.
I stand by my original claim. There will be no trade war. Trump placed tariffs on about $50 billion dollars worth of Chinese imports.
The Chinese government responded with $3 billion dollars.
Trump’s tariffs are small compared to the overall imports on China goods.
Chinese officials are on record stating that no one wins in a trade war. This is reflected in their $3 billion dollar response. They only responded to save face politically.
