Is there a trade deal with China? Is it really a deal or just a pull-back to status quo ante? Is Trump advancing US interests in this well-executed trade battle plan or was this poorly conceived from the start . . . and harmful?

I think the jury's still out, but I haven't seen that the Chinese are offering much in compromise - and it's not even clear if there's going to be an agreement. But it's clear they are working on something and I'm sure Trump will sell it as the greatest trade deal ever. The proof will be in the details.

Well the EU should just move its imports to Canada instead

U.S. Census Bureau data indicate that U.S. exports of steel products to the EU have been valued at approximately $2–3 billion per year. U.S. exports of aluminum products to the EU have been valued between $500 million and $1 billion /year.

That is the plan. Crash the economy and buy companies cheap on the dollar afterwards. Except most of the world is on to this and are creating new trading partnerships. The US however may become a paria if this continues
