Most of the trade agreements that the U.S. is part of have generally been more favorable to the other country that to the U.S. I get why Trump is trying to change that. I think the approach is a bit heavy handed. On the other hand, he is approaching this from the background as a businessman and he only has four years left in office to accomplish something. You can be in business with your best friend but you still have to treat the business aspect of it as business. Trust is nice, reciprocity is better.
