If we think on how this plays out, the ammunition China has gets run out fairly quickly on tariffs.
So then what’s next? Treasuries? Investment capital?
Very dangerous game Trump administration is playing, and now they’ve (again) backed themselves into a corner on tit for tat. Their last announcement citing a further escalation if China retaliated – which they did.
As a few experts have already predicted this likely gets worse before it gets better.

and then ran his campaign mouth about the horrible companies that do not buy only USA Steel
