Commentary

The Trump administration is pushing for more U.S. exports to the world, something beyond oil, debt, and financial services. That means real things like grain and processed livestock, of which the United States has an abundance. Every trade negotiation will come down to the push for foreign nations to buy more. That is true for China but also for the whole of Europe.
