Trump is right to say that trade needs a reset. But his response so far has amounted to a chaotic blitz of tariff declarations, suspensions, and threats.
Things were so terrible that the US had the best economy in the world and growth was estimated to be 3%. That trade system was so horrible that wages rose, unemployment was at historic lows and job creation at historic highs. What could be worse than that? Oh, trump, and his numbskulls pulling tariff numbers out of a hat. Everything trump touches dies, including the economy, and trade deals with long time partners. Who would trust the US to follow through with any agreement? No one. Yjose scars will last for years when doing nothing would have kept an economy strong and friends by our side.
