The Art of the Trade War
Trade wars are like awkward family feuds, but instead of yelling at Thanksgiving dinner, politicians slap each other with tariffs like they're in a passive-aggressive game of economic dodgeball. One country raises steel tariffs, another retaliates with a cheese embargo, and suddenly world leaders are arguing over dairy like it's a geopolitical episode of MasterChef. Meanwhile, politicians give dramatic speeches about "protecting national interests," which loosely translates to, "We have no idea what we’re doing, but it sounds patriotic." In the end, nobody wins—except maybe smugglers and black market avocado dealers.
Trump Seeks 'Great' Trade Deal with UK Amid Tariff Turmoil: VP Vance Optimistic on Bilateral Agreement

Trump imposed tariffs on imports earlier this month, and the UK government hopes to exempt itself from these tariffs. Vance expressed optimism that both sides can come to a mutually beneficial agreement, citing Trump's admiration for the Queen and King, as well as his business relationships in Britain.
