Some trade war progress is better than no trade war progress.  Start lining up Mexico, Canada, then the EU to put some heat on China. Also, combined, trade with Mexico and Canada is larger than the EU or China.

👆this. A NAFTA deal strengthens Trump's position against China.      
       
 Now Trump&amp;Co can build a list of Chinese companies that have ripped off US tech and ban them from selling into the US -- including anything with stolen components. Then, sanction any country that buys those products, focusing EU countries. That'd put the heat on EU bigly. Once EU gives in, we focus on Japan and expand trade with all other Southeast Asia countries with a revised TPP deal.
