CNN’s Zakaria: Trump ‘Has Badly Bungled’ China Trade War

CNN host Fareed Zakaria said Friday on CNN’s “OutFront” that President Donald Trump had “badly bungled” the trade war with China.

Zakaria said, “These are the highest stakes, and the Trump administration has badly bungled this. The greatest deterrent to a Chinese invasion of Taiwan which would send you know, seismic ripples through the world economy, through the international political system. The greatest deterrent was not any weapon we had. It was the fear that China had that they would be decoupled from the American economy, the economy with which they had for the last 40 years built a deep, interdependent relationship.”
