Trump's tariff approach in early 2025 appeared focused on Mexico and Canada in January-April (driven by fentanyl/immigration concerns), not China, making a grand theory that 'Trump's trade policy is about China' useless for short-term prediction despite being correct over his full four-year term (China ended up with 45% tariffs vs 10% for others)
