It’s probably not smart to go “mano a mano” with Trump over trade.  As is typically the case, he’s looking further down the road than his critics.

Trump knows that economic power sustains hegemony and he doesn’t want his kids and grandkids living in a Chinese world.  For a quick refresher in what that would entail, stop by ChinaAid.org. to read stories such as the one about China’s persecution of Christian’s who simply attempt to visit their loved ones imprisoned in “re-education” camps.

Trump doesn't know how to spell or define "hegemony."  He's not playing 4th dimensional chess.  He just speaks brash and loud so sheep follow him.

Trump Threatens Europe With A 20pct Tariff On Cars
https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/06/22/trump-threatens-europe-with-a-20-percent-tariff-on-cars/

The Trump administration is investigating whether imported autos pose a threat to U.S. national security. The investigation is being conducted under the same provision of the law, known as Section 232, that led the administration to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum.

German automakers this week reportedly told U.S. ambassador Richard Grinnell that they would support dropping the EU’s ten percent tariff in order to avoid the threat of a Section 232 tariff. German automakers also want the U.S. to drop its tariff on light trucks, a category that includes SUVs and pickup trucks.

    Based on the Tariffs and Trade Barriers long placed on the U.S. and it great companies and workers by the European Union, if these Tariffs and Barriers are not soon broken down and removed, we will be placing a 20% Tariff on all of their cars coming into the U.S. Build them here!
