Key Reasons for Trump's Predicted Failure in Trade War

This Polish article details five reasons why the author believes Donald Trump will lose his trade war with China. These reasons are presented as significant challenges to Trump's strategy.

• China's economic resilience: China can source alternative suppliers for products the US exports to them, such as soybeans from South America. Meanwhile, the US relies heavily on Chinese electronics and other goods.
• Global alliances: While Trump alienates allies like Europe, Canada, and Mexico, China is strengthening its partnerships with countries across the globe.
• China's financial leverage: China's holdings of US treasury bonds provide significant economic leverage. Selling these bonds would negatively impact the US economy.
• Political vulnerability: Trump's trade policies could harm the US economy, impacting his party's standing ahead of elections. Xi Jinping is politically less vulnerable.
• Impact on US consumers: Increased prices due to tariffs negatively affect the American consumer, potentially impacting Trump's popularity.

In essence, the article posits that Trump’s aggressive trade tactics are strategically flawed and unlikely to achieve their intended outcome due to China’s economic and political strength, as well as the international ramifications.
