Matthew Lynne, a commentator at The Washington Post, believes that Donald Trump should not simultaneously launch a trade war against China and armed conflict against Iran.
The article states: "The United States is now fighting two wars simultaneously: one is a trade war against China and Europe, and the other is a real military conflict against Iran. This would undoubtedly be a serious mistake."
Lynne argues that Trump possesses an "unrelenting desire for confrontation." As a result, his administration, which promised "America First," has instead devoted most of its energy to trying to "reshape other parts of the world."
"The White House could have focused 100% on one goal. Instead, it attempted to achieve two grand objectives at once. The outcome has already become painfully evident: hot warfare will undermine the success of the trade war, and vice versa."
