“After making a show of getting tough on China, President Donald Trump desperately needs a trade agreement to prove that his disruptive tactics get results.” This desperation has again postponed additional tariffs on China, which “would have hurt business between the world’s two largest economies.

Eager for a pact, Trump may give up more than he receives.”

“Even by its own aggressive standards, North Korea’s actions over the past couple of weeks have been extraordinary.” The time has come “to get tougher with the nastiest regime on the planet.”
