WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump spoke out defiantly on Friday in opposition to world complaint of his plan to impose price lists on steel and aluminum imports and apparently welcomed the idea of a trade conflict.
"When a country (USA) is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with, trade wars are good, and easy to win," Trump wrote in an early morning tweet.
"Example, when we are down $100 billion with a certain country and they get cute, don't trade anymore-we win big. It's easy!" the president wrote.
