Trump backs off after chatting up China’s side -chick!!!!
They say that old habits die hard. How did a once respected business mogul and an individual who was once called the King of New York go from icon to possibly becoming a threat to the national security of the United States.
You know that things are bad if any endorsement from business leaders is followed up by large-scale PR. If you haven’t heard, ask Travis Kalanick, co-founder and CEO of Uber. It is estimated that over 200 000 Uber users deleted the App within a week upon the arrival of news that he was part of Trump’s Advisory Council. In a letter he sent out about why he quit, he stated the following,“Joining the group was not meant to be an endorsement of the President or his agenda but unfortunately it has been misinterpreted to be exactly that.”
Understanding Trump’s actions?
Trump was continuously warned about labeling China as a currency manipulator by its President. Even if that is the case, which is probably true, social media is not where policies are brain stormed. As if that was not enough, I struggle to see how interfering between China and Taiwan’s relations is for the people. Trump took a post-election call from the leader of Taiwan which is an absolute no go zone. It broke 37 years of diplomatic protocol . There is absolutely nothing good that can come out of that.
China has powerful and key strategic alliances, one of which is North Korea. North Korea and China are tied by the hip. A few days after the start of the 2017 year, North Korea stated that at any time, it could test-launch an ICMB( intercontinental ballistic missile) without the consideration of the United States, of which they blamed on their “hostile policy.”
During the Obama Presidency, China had banned coal imports from North Korea , initiated in April of 2016.Could that be undone?
China did however condemn North Korea’s recent missile test. China doesn’t do things out of charity, so there’s obviously some agreement that was reached of which isn’t currently transparent.
Regardless of the outcome, you don’t put someone’s hand on a hot stove in an attempt to teach them a lesson because even after the action, the scares remain.
In business, the ability to change your mind and analyse your strategy when things go wrong is key to success. If Trumps heads that quality, he may have a chance.
