Trump has been talking about the need for tariffs and industrial policy since the 1980s. This is not some scheme he's cooked up on the spur of the moment.
With him and the people he surrounds himself with, inept would be an improvement.
He managed to piss off the Canadians ffs, Thats the diplomatic equivalent to punching a friendly puppy.
Also is anyone during or after Trump ever going to trust anything with a US signature on again... I can't see it.
