Trump’s Trade War Spectacularly Flops as Key Target Surges to Record High

China said that its trade surplus surged to $1.19 trillion last year, a 20 percent jump from 2024. The total had already passed $1 trillion by November, highlighting how little impact Trump’s tariff war had on China’s export machine.
