- The US administration has misjudged the power dynamics in the trade war with China.
- Trump's belief that China is at a disadvantage overlooks how their export surplus actually benefits them.
- The US's reliance on Chinese goods, especially electronics and household appliances, complicates the trade war's continuation.
- China's economic resilience and strategic foresight allow it to endure longer than the US, while Trump may need to reconsider his approach.

- President Trump overlooks the economic consequences of his tariffs on the auto industry.
- The implementation of a 25% tariff on imported cars is expected to raise production costs and prices for new and used vehicles.
- Experts predict that these tariffs will reduce North American car production by 10% to 20%, leading to price increases due to a supply shortage.
- The auto industry warns of rising costs for consumers and a decline in sales before new jobs are created.
I couldn’t care less. I hope they raise their prices, because if they do, people are gonna buy American-made cars. We have plenty.— Donald Trump, in response to concerns about rising car prices due to tariffs during an interview with NBC.
