US President Donald Trump’s 'America First' approach is facing fresh criticism for undermining global cooperation. 🌍📉 'Trade benefits both China and the US,' said Xing Yuqing, a Tokyo-based economics professor, arguing that unilateral tariffs and protectionist policies ignore the power of multilateral negotiations.
Xing, who teaches at Japan’s National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies, stressed that Trump’s first-term strategy of direct talks with China was more effective than the current tariff-heavy stance. 'If the US isn’t happy with trade imbalances, negotiation—not isolation—is the answer,' he said. 💡🤝
The comments come as global markets watch for signs of renewed US-China trade tensions, with young professionals and investors seeking stability. Will Washington pivot back to diplomacy? Stay tuned. 📈🔮
