Thanks to BBC News for the invitation to describe the two big opportunities that President Trump missed today by imposing his Section 301 tariffs, as well as HOW (not) TO WIN A TRADE WAR.

Trump's 10–12.5% tariffs on 60 countries are the wrong policy They divert U.S. and allied attention from the trade war we should be fighting: reducing the dangerous concentration of production of essential goods in China, which Beijing can weaponize, and building resilient alternative supply chains

New @iea.org estimates of costs if China fully weaponizes critical minerals: - Export restrictions on rare earths mean $6.5 trillion in lost production in autos, high-tech, defense and energy outside China - Export restrictions on graphite mean $300 billion in lost battery production outside China
