German media have revealed insider information! German media stated that the trade war is not going according to Trump's vision, and the Trump team is in disarray! On April 13th, according to reports from Russia's Sputnik News Agency citing German media, German media said that after implementing strict tariffs, US President Trump was disappointed with his advisors because the implementation of the tariffs did not go as hoped by the White House leaders and officials. German media reported that some figures close to this American leader, such as Commerce Secretary Ross and Trade Advisor Navarro, are being pushed to the forefront. If the tariff war fails, they may become scapegoats. Clearly, this report by German media indicates what? It shows that Trump's trade war has completely exceeded the expectations of the Trump team. Perhaps what most exceeded the expectations of the Trump team was that they never anticipated China would counterattack without compromise. The US completely underestimated China. At first, when facing America's two 10% tax increases, we responded cautiously. This might have led the Trump team to believe it was an opportunity for them to "push forward." However, after the US escalated its actions, it was met with our fierce retaliation, which caught the US off guard. After being retaliated against, Trump's emotions got out of control. Subsequently, he emotionally raised the tariffs to 145%, which turned the tariff war into a laughingstock in the field of trade wars. On one hand, the trade war impacted the US stock market and bond market; on the other hand, America's extortion had no chance of success. The US had to adjust its policies, exempt certain goods, and temporarily impose a 10% tariff on other countries. Combining German media reports, Trump must regret initiating the trade war now. In this trade war, the US lost the international credibility accumulated since World War II and allowed countries to witness the true nature of American hegemony. Clearly, the US overestimated the cards it held and underestimated our resolve and unyielding will. This tariff war is bound to fail, and it is only a matter of time.
