I am not sure that Trump politics will help the world economy to gain a stable position. All I have seen under Trump's period Market is becoming too much volatile.
According to multiple foreign reports, China has offered to increase the percentage of semiconductor chips it buys from American sources, replacing offerings from South Korea and Taiwan.
The United States and China are reportedly engaged in behind-the-scenes negotiations to avert a trade war, and the main bargaining chip is semiconductors. When they strike a deal of having China purchase more American semiconductors over suppliers from South Korea and Japan, the toll could fall heavily on Korea’s chip-making industry, which is responsible for the bulk of Korean exports.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Washington has asked Beijing to import more American cars and semiconductors to address its trade deficit with China. The Financial Times also reported that Beijing is tilting towards agreeing to reduce imports from Korea and Japan and use more American chips to avoid the threatening U.S. tariffs on Chinese products. Regardless of which side proposed it first, it appears that Korean chipmakers are caught in the crossfire of trade friction between the two largest economies. http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=3046189&cloc=etc%7Cjad%7Cgooglenews
China's response is a surprise for some people," said Julian Evans-Pritchard, senior China economist at Capital Economics, noting that neither said had yet called for enforcement of the tariffs.
"It's more of a game of brinkmanship, making it clear what the cost would be, in the hopes that both sides can come to agreement and none of these tariffs will come into force," he said.
Markets shouldn't worry because Trump's trade policy is really 'speak harshly but carry a small stick': Citigroup Citi Research said the trade tariff announcements aren't as hostile as they appear. "We find the latest salvoes in US-China trade coming on the eve of an increasing probability of an agreement on NAFTA as the latest twist in a now familiar pattern of the Trump Administration regarding trade: speak harshly but carry a small stick," the firm's analyst writes. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/06/markets-shouldnt-worry-because-trumps-trade-policy-is-really-speak-harshly-but-carry-a-small-stick-citigroup.html
