Though Trump's trade war tweet scared businesses and investors, he has progress to show in the last year.
A year ago, President Donald Trump declared"trade wars are good and easy to win." The White House has since moved toward its goal of revamping global trade deals, largely through a series of tariffs on — and talks with — China.
Potential pitfalls await, despite the waiving of what had been the deadline this weekend for a U.S.-China agreement. The U.S. still needs to hammer out the thorny points of a deal with Beijing, such as enforcing punishment for intellectual property theft. Trump also has to persuade Congress to approve the so-called United States Mexico Canada Agreement, as Democrats show skepticism about labor and environmental protections in the deal.
