Скачать или смотреть Why Trump's Trade War Failed: The Real Deficit Crisis Nobody's Addressing

Donald Trump's trade war was supposed to fix America's massive fiscal deficit and reorder global commerce. The real problem? Tariffs can't solve what only multilateral negotiation can fix.

Here's what this analysis reveals:

China's export colonization strategy – While China has systematically flooded global markets with exports, Europe sat idle and let it happen. Cava calls it making "themselves look ridiculous" by failing to establish adequate defenses against market penetration

Trump's goal was necessary, execution was terrible – The need to tackle the unsustainable U.S. fiscal deficit and reorder commerce was valid. But Trump used aggressive, unilateral tariffs instead of properly calculated, reciprocal measures designed to encourage negotiation

The hidden tariff agenda: Pressure the Fed – The real primary goal of Trump's tariff strategy wasn't revenue—it was to pressure the Federal Reserve into cutting interest rates, thereby lowering catastrophic interest expenses on the national debt. This reveals the deficit problem was deeper than trade alone

Tariffs generate revenue, but it's not enough – While tariff income helps, it's insufficient to solve the structural deficit problem. You can't tax your way out of a fiscal crisis this large without addressing spending

Multilateral negotiation, not trade wars – A true global trade reordering requires organized, calculated multilateral action. Violent unilateral tariffs create retaliation, not cooperation. Trump's approach backfired because it relied on confrontation instead of consensus-building

Europe remains defenseless – Without a coordinated European trade strategy, China continues colonizing markets. The U.S. went at it alone, and the deficit remains unsolved

The lesson: Trade wars are economic theater. Real solutions require the kind of multilateral diplomacy and calculated reciprocal tariffs that actually bring adversaries to the negotiating table—not aggressive measures that trigger tit-for-tat retaliation.
