《Trump just flipped the table, and U.S. officials are dismantling it》

Is Trump really thinking of himself as the world hegemon? Just two days ago, he was still shouting about wanting to do business with China, but now he has directly turned his back and wants to flip the table on China, saying he won’t play anymore.

Less than 24 hours after Trump announced a 100% tariff increase on China, U.S. Trade Representative Lighthizer publicly stated in an interview that the U.S. has no intention of starting a trade war with China, and that there is currently no need to do so.

If Trump’s action of increasing tariffs on China is intended to flip the table, then Lighthizer’s comments are completely dismantling Trump’s plan. Thinking of flipping the table? Then I’ll pour you two buckets of cold water to calm down, so that the whole of America doesn’t have to indulge your whims.

Furthermore, Lighthizer’s words seem to be advising China not to stoop to Trump’s level, expressing hope to establish a balanced trade relationship with China. This is likely the most genuine thought of those in the U.S. Treasury at the moment, considering the $37 trillion debt weighing down on them. Engaging in a trade war under such circumstances would definitely be counterproductive.
