Protectionism will damage the multilateral system of trade and investments, and result in strategic rivalry between great powers that can destabilise the world, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) on Thursday (Apr 19).

Trump got to be very mindful of what happen in 1930s Deep Depression - where US levy tariff, trigger World Wide trade war - that eventually lead to World War 2.
Now look at the climate created by Trump - very serious trade and business damages -- and the mounting tension between the US and China.
Is it worth the strategic rivalry hiding under the cloak of so called "America First fair trade"?

There are collateral damages to US companies as well from Trump's trade move.
(1) Qualcomm supplied more than half of chipset sold to ZTE.
(2) Microsoft Corp provide software
(3) Intel Corp provide some components
(4) Acacia Communications Inc provide optical networking equipment
(5) Lumentum Holdings Inc
(6) Finisar Corp
(7) Oclaro Inc All these
US companies are badly hit by Trump trade move.
Qualcomm is the worst hit - and likely to retrench American workers.

If China learn from this trade war - and determine and successful to make its own chips or succeeded in buying other semicon chips from some other sources ---- Trump trade war will cause US business to lose US$11billion from this saga ---- and China customers will never come back.

Huawei has already succeeded in making all its semicon chips.
Huawei is also the most advanced in 5G chips - that surpass the US Qualcomm 5G chips.
So Trump may make a very serious strategic trade move --- that may cause substantial damages to US tech industries as well as hurting its business and jobs.

UPDATE 2-Qualcomm begins layoffs as part of cost cuts

April 18- Qualcomm Inc has begun cutting jobs as part of its promise to investors to cut annual costs by $1 billion, the chipmaker said on Wednesday. Bloomberg, which first reported the layoffs, said the size of the job cuts is large enough that Qualcomm will have to file a WARN notice, or Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, with the state of California.
