As Japan feels deal-striker’s remorse, it’s hard not to see Trump’s trade negotiations as a crisis in slow motion.
Lower courts have already ruled Trump’s trade war out of bounds.
For Chinese leader Xi Jinping, though, the strategy has been to delay a tariff deal with Trump as long as possible.
According to reports, Xi even thinks he can persuade Trump to drop America’s support for Taiwan in exchange for a trade deal.
In the interim, the odds are rising that Trump’s tariff deals with Japan, South Korea and the EU will either unravel or get bogged down in confusion and bickering.
