There's No Such Thing As Winning A Trade War

There's no such thing as winning a trade war. Do you see what's happening with NAFTA right now? Mr. Trump is shouting from the rooftops that he's won but you look at the results it means that the price of cars are gonna go up a lot for American citizens.
