Briefings

A 2026 article reports that US-China trade tensions have temporarily cooled, with Donald Trump's specific trade wars largely off the headlines. However, the author warns that the sense of calm is misleading, as the two largest economies are still marching toward an economic war of potentially epic proportions that could spill over into a real conflict.

Key points

• The US-China trade war has temporarily cooled, with Donald Trump's specific trade wars largely off the headlines.
• The world's two largest economies are still marching toward an economic war of potentially epic proportions.

Context

This article, published on 2026-11-01, analyzes the recent shift in global trade dynamics. It notes that while tariffs have subsided, the underlying economic conflict remains active, potentially escalating into a broader conflict.

Limitations
