Proof that President Trump’s trade negotiation strategy is winning?
One thing any serious negotiator has to understand is that you’re in big trouble if you bluff and your bluff gets called. If the threat of tariffs is really just designed to get a better deal done, then the person making the threat has to be prepared for the possibility that the better deal won’t be forthcoming. If he’s not willing to carry through on his threat, he’ll never be able to use such a threat again because no one will believe him.
