President Donald Trump has apparently decided that the best way to deal with allies who are disconcerted by his recent moves on trade is to threaten them via Twitter. In what very much looked like an effort to set the stage for a trade war, Trump essentially dared members of the European Union and others to retaliate against his moves. As European and Canadian leaders expressed shock over the decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, Trump on Saturday threatened to hit European auto companies with tariffs as retaliation to any retaliatory moves.
