Trump has changed his positions on many issues, but has remained consistent on tariffs, with the key figure behind this being the U.S. Trade Representative, Griles. Griles has long worked as a trade lawyer and served in Trump's first administration. He is now entrusted by the president to work on reshaping the global trading system. In a recent interview with POLITICO, he denied that Trump's comprehensive tariff system was implemented in a chaotic manner, insisting, "We have a strategy." He also refuted the accusation that tariffs are the main cause of rising prices, saying people are worried about housing and healthcare, which are not reliant on imports. On China, he said: "Sometimes you hear people say, 'You know, if the U.S. wins, China has to lose.' I don't think that way. In fact, we will do what is best for the U.S. in trade... If China can still succeed, that's fine, right? We are not here to contain China. We want to ensure strong national security and economic security for the U.S., and ensure that our workers have good jobs in the towns and cities where they live, allowing them to support their families. That's what we need to do, right? As for whether China thrives or declines, that depends on themselves."
