The purpose of President Trump's tariff policy is not what he says it is.

The treaty that the United States and Iran signed in July 2015, was the most exhaustive and stringent nuclear agreement in history. No other nuclear treaty comes close.

The Trump tariff extravaganza was never about trade deficits, reindustrialization, or bringing jobs back to America. It was always about China.

Trump's push for a ceasefire in Ukraine has less to do with Ukraine than it does with Israel.
