In fact, the only way to win a trade war is not to fight one. »

While I don't agree with the AEI on a lot of things, they are on the mark when talking about trade wars. It will be interesting to see whether conservative economists who haven't gone MAGA will be speaking out over Trump's destructive trade war.

Trump has been getting orgasms over trade wars since his first term.

Smartphones and several other categories of products will be exempt from sweeping tariffs imposed by the Trump administration earlier this month, a filing showed late Friday. That amounts to a big reprieve for Apple and others that…
