Stumbling Towards Catastrophe: The New Cold War With China
In the early days of the Trump administration, Navarro and former White House strategist Steve Bannon fought hard to push President Trump to put tariffs on Chinese goods, a battle they won. Bannon, a self-described ultra-hawk when it comes to China, has been crusading against the CCP since he left the White House. In a recent interview with Asia Times, when asked if Washington should pursue regime change in Beijing, Bannon said, “I don’t think Asia can be free, until we’ve had regime change in Beijing. And I am an absolute advocate of that.”
Bannon denied rumors that he was joining the Trump campaign for 2020 but ensured many of his friends and colleagues will be on the president’s team. “One hundred and twenty percent of my time right now is spent on taking down the Chinese Communist Party, with the Committee on the Present Danger,” Bannon said. The Committee on Present Danger: China (CPD) is an incredibly hawkish think-tank started by Bannon and neoconservative Frank Gaffney in 2019.

New U.S. tariffs show again why it is an unreliable partner for Europe
After a breakdown in trade negotiations over a longstanding dispute pertaining to subsidies for the European aviation manufacturer Airbus, the Trump administration is now weighing new tariffs of 3.1 billion U.S. dollars on EU and British exports into the United States, coming on top of the levies imposed by the White House on Europe last summer. Exports which are set to be targeted include olives, coffee, chocolate, beer, gin, trucks and machinery.
