Trump unleashes trade war with latest tariffs on China
(Updated: )
Ricky Lim
The start of the trade war likely confirms the widening rupture between Trump and his own Republican Party, a traditional champion of free trade and big business whose members, while critical, have so-far shrunk from curtailing the White House's trade powers.
But, with the GOP facing strong political headwinds ahead of November's mid-term elections, China's countermeasures left both Trump and Republican lawmakers increasingly vulnerable to voters who appear likely to boost the fortunes of opposition Democrats.

Hopefully the outcome of the trade war will bring down Trump and result in a more learned President being elected in the next Presidential election.
Trump is causing too much chaos in the World trading system.
