The Trump administration is so erratic in its policy announcements that simply knowing if it really means what it says presents a considerable challenge. But if the government of the United States is indeed serious about conducting a protracted trade war against its principal geopolitical rival, China, a host of unpleasant consequences for traditional US allies like Britain will flow. The most severe scenario would be an attempt by the US to make allies choose between America and China as a trading partner. Worryingly, this “you’re with us or you’re against us” approach seems to be gaining traction in the White House.
