China Morning Missive
For all the chatter of Mexico and Canada “caving” to the demands of Trump there’s been shockingly little commentary over #China refusing to engage.
It is rather obvious that the Trump team would have made attempts to hold a call with Xi like what went down with Trudeau and Sheinbaum. Those attempts failed.
Technically this then means that the 10% tariffs on China are now in place. Expect this bilateral pissing match to escalate and escalate quickly. Before the end of this week.
Trump and his people our outmatched, they just don’t know it yet.
