Do you have any news outlets reporting this info?

I can't find any. And the video was to Youtube yesterday. I would love to see some confirmation.

I did watch the video. Actually, the headline is clickbait but the effects of a trade war discussed are certainly a possibility. Tariffs raise the prices on goods to the consumer--THAT is a valid point.

Perhaps there will be big counter-tariffs, but I'm not finding any news reports to back this video.
Please self-delete it.
