"It seems like Donald Trump has a “first mover problem” with his disastrous trade war against the world. No country wants to go first since they know Donald Trump will gloat and try to humiliate them. They are seeing what happened in the elections in Canada and in Australia and realize that capitulation means the end of their governing power.
I teach negotiation. Every negotiation rule was broken by Donald Trump in his disaster trade war."
