Or who claimed to be a staunch free trader—right up to the moment he imposed illegal tariffs on imported steel?

The economist needs to do it's homework. The tariffs imposed were legal by US standards - the EU felt imposed upon (those unfair americans!!) and complained to the sozialist WTO - who (surprise) ruled that the US Tariffs were "illegal". I guess if america were to instead SUBSIDIZE the steel industry (as the EUroweenies do) this would have been ok . . .
