Trump’s trade war is not about about being patriotic or protecting American businesses. It is about politics and bad economics. No one wins a trade war; everyone loses.

On July 5, 2018, the United States declared war on China. China mobilized and quickly counterattacked the U.S.

This war is a trade war which means governments enact tariffs taxes on goods we would like to buy which makes them more expensive for us. People aren’t killed in these wars, rather, they are made poorer.
