Trump and top administration officials continue to make the case that this is about wholly restructuring the U.S. relationship with the global economy, bringing jobs and manufacturing back to the U.S., and making the U.S. wealthy. The president is urging patience. And then there's China. They slapped a retaliatory tariff on the U.S. after Trump's announcement last week.

Trump is saying that if they don't reverse course, he will hike the tax on Chinese imports even higher for a grand total of a 104 percent tariff. China isn't backing down, though.
