Trade War Strategy: Trump's trade war strategy often involves using tariffs and other trade barriers as leverage to force concessions from trading partners. This approach has been controversial and has led to retaliatory measures from countries like China and the European Union. Potential Deal with Australia: The fact that Trump is discussing a potential deal with Australia suggests a possible shift in his trade approach, at least with certain allies. This could be an attempt to: Strengthen Alliances: Reassure traditional allies who have been impacted by the trade war. Diversify Trade Partners: Seek new markets or strengthen existing ones outside of those currently embroiled in major trade disputes. Gain Leverage: Use a potential deal with Australia as an example or a bargaining chip in negotiations with other countries.
