It will hurt the US in the long run, but he'll be able to say that he was "tough on China". That's all his base wants. If he hurts them financially, it doesn't matter, and he'll blame the consequences on someone else anyway.

He may very well be lying about it. But either way, he doesn't seem to be the type who thinks of the consequences of his actions.

" ... no coherent strategy ... " pretty much sums up the Trump presidency thus far.

It’s definitely a delicate balance. I think China will be OK with decreasing the extent to which their overall interaction with the US is more favorable to them. It’s essentially a win win. China still comes out ahead, the NK problem is maybe off their radar, the President gets some kudos for NK progress and a better China deal. Good PR all around.

China was never gonna pay for their crimes, regardless of what trump did.

@VolpeTredici Yes, that much is clear.

Bad news for Iowa, and probably Boeing, and it adds to the WTO ruling from yesterday.
