I don’t know. Maybe another debt-financed tax cut? A dollar devaluation? Recession?
I’d feel much more comfortable about the US economy if I had any confidence at all that Trump et al wouldn’t consider it winning bigly if we sent out ships full of American made goods and they all came back empty.
It’s worth noting the trade gap isn’t all China, although they’re the big boys. The US also had record imbalances in December with Mexico and the EU. Trump has put tariffs on all three.
Or you increase the trade deficit.
