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 Warns of 'War' with China as US Cracks Down on Tariffs

President Trump has justified his tariff hikes by saying they are necessary to prepare for potential "war" with China. He stated that having products made in the US would ensure independence from other countries in case of conflict, and emphasized the importance of domestic manufacturing. In response, Chinese President Xi Jinping warned against a trade war or tariff war, stating that there are no winners in such conflicts and advocating for the protection of multilateral trading systems and global supply chains.
