Washington’s demand for a $200 billion cut from China’s U.S. goods trade surplus doubles Trump’s previous request for a $100 billion cut. China had a record U.S. goods trade surplus of $375 billion in 2017.

Trump has also demanded “reciprocity” between U.S. and Chinese tariffs, frequently complaining about China’s 25 percent car tariff while the U.S. equivalent is 2.5 percent.

Ford will soon wish they didn’t move Focus manufacturing to China.

A 25% tariff on cars out of China ensures they will not sell any of them here.

And, folks, don’t worry how this turns out.

The US has ALL the leverage and the Chinese have none. At best they can walk away and suffer the consequences.
