William Blake
Let's be honest here. We're in a trade war. Trade wars, like any other war, have consequences. There will be casualties in the form of business lost, jobs cut, and higher prices. The hope is that at the end there will be tangible benefits for the country that outweigh the pain, but in the mean time people are going to get hurt. The winner will be the one who can take the pain longer than the other side. The President has the commitment to see it through. It remains to be seen if Congress and the business community do as well.
