Editorial: Le Monde

• Donald Trump is triggering a trade war, imposing tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and possibly Europe.
• Trump plans to use these tariffs as a negotiation tactic, seeking concessions that benefit US interests.
• These countries could be pressured to tighten border controls and limit the migration flow and fentanyl trafficking.
• US trade decisions are subject to the whims of a single man, creating potential instability for the economy.
• The use of tariffs as a 'weapon' in diplomacy shows their potential to pressure trade partners.
• The 'scapegoat' approach has its limitations and could lead to increased mistrust in the global economy.

Conclusion: Despite Trump's intention to 'make America great again', his tactics may lead to a growing distancing of the US in global trade.
