Why doesn't the IEA just listen to what Trump is saying with respect to tariffs on Mexico and Canada. He has made it clear that they are just a lever to persuade Canada and Mexico in particular to police its own borders and stop the flow of drugs and illegal migrants pouring into the US. It is hardly an unreasonable request. Is the IEA also suffering from the Trump Derangement Syndrome afflicting the progressive class.
As to China there is nothing free or fair about China's way of doing trade. China has massive state subsidised over capacity, and it is dumping goods at or below cost on the west. Firstly this has the benefit of keeping the CCP in power by maintaining some growth. And secondly it is usefully destroying western industrial capacity which will make it easier for China to invade Taiwan.
