Wall Street Journal meets Donald Trump with the hard truth about his “golden age” boasting

The conservative editorial board of the Wall Street Journal cheered President Donald Trump's promotion from his mega talks on China on Monday and distributed the shooting of the White House as a victory by describing it in an op-ED as a “more handover as a Trump win”.

“Rarely was an economic policy” rejected “as solid and as quickly as the tariff on the day of the liberation of President Trump and after Mr. Trump's hand, the newspaper, whose board was a violent critic of the second trade policy of Trump, in particular his tariffs.

A “tragedy” of Trump's “Shoot-Aternica-in-the-Foot-First approach,” said the newspaper, “is that he has violated his chances of gathering a uniform countries against Beijing's Mercantilism.” “As Mr. Trump addresses allies with tariffs, he has undermined the confidence in America's economic and political reliability,” complained it.

However, the possible “silver strip” said that the Trump markets have forced to “withdraw from his fever dream that high tariff walls will initiate a new” golden age “.”

“The age didn't take two months and was more than golden,” added.

In the agreement on Monday, China and the United States agreed to pause the majority of tariffs for 90 days.

American tariffs for Chinese imports will drop from 145% to 30%. The Chinese tariffs for US imports are reduced from 125% to 10%.
