Trump risks midterm voter backlash for GOP if he expands China trade war, as
tariffs are unpopular in six key states
President Donald Trump is considering even more tariffs on Chinese goods in
an expanding trade conflict.
It's a politically risky move, as voters in six key midterm states have not
gotten behind the trade barriers.
Republicans are trying to stop Democrats from flipping enough seats to take
a House majority.

obsesed" with Japan, and SOUTH Korea is because Japan, and south Korea are
obediant to the west. Western oligarks want to hold south Korea, and Japan
up to a pedestal, because they want to set them as an example. Kind of like
