And each leader plays according to their national interest. Trump’s Tariff Game — Shock Today, Leverage Tomorrow Trump’s tariff policy is not just about trade deficits — it is a calculated economic weapon. China responds selectively — temporary relief, no permanent concession — because Beijing sees…
