Trump seems to be trading his \u201cwar\u201d for the US economic future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Allies Help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There needs to be a US adjustment with China, no doubt.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the past this kind of trade move would have included many of the United State\u2019s allies, and would have had a greater impact on the Chinese economy.&nbsp;&nbsp;A quick example:&nbsp;&nbsp;the Chinese raised tariffs on US soybeans, cutting the amount sold to China, the world\u2019s largest soybean consumer.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Chinese then moved to Brazil to maintain their soybean supply.  In the past, the US would have allied with Brazil first, to keep pressure on the Chinese market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Obama negotiated the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, for the purpose of arraying the economic powers of the Pacific against China.&nbsp;&nbsp;Japan, Mexico, Canada and others were members.&nbsp;&nbsp;Their coordinated actions to control trade with China would have had a greater impact than any one of those nations, including the United States, acting alone.&nbsp;&nbsp;But President Trump withdrew the US from the TPP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Mr. Trump has engaged in tariffs \u201ctiffs\u201d with many of those TPP members, including Canada and Japan.&nbsp;&nbsp;That reduces the likelihood of their cooperation in any US trade battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All Alone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So here we are, the United States, without friends.\u00a0\u00a0Like any war, economic or military, it\u2019s good to have allies to share the burdens and sacrifices. But the current administration has intentionally placed us in an isolated position:\u00a0\u00a0America First has come to mean America Alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we are still the biggest economic power in the world, in our trade war with China we will be forced to make all of the sacrifices.&nbsp;&nbsp;Other nations, already \u201cput-off\u2019 by Mr. Trump, will do what\u2019s in their own best interest, and sell China the products we don\u2019t.&nbsp;&nbsp;They\u2019ll make their money, China will suffer less, and the US will struggle more.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re the \u201cLone Ranger\u201d \u2013 and, \u201cKe-Mo-Sabe,\u201d we could use some help.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s too bad we won\u2019t get any.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trade War President Trump is waging war, a trade war against the&nbsp;second largest economy in the world, China.&nbsp;It\u2019s an \u201cold fashioned\u201d tariff war, just like the 19thCentury battles over sugar and coal.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are raising taxes on their goods, and they are raising taxes on our goods.&nbsp;&nbsp;Everyone pays more, and everyone loses.
