As US and China begin trade talks in Geneva, Trump’s tariff hammer looks less mighty than he hoped

The way US President Donald Trump sees it, beating China in a trade war should be easy. After all, his logic goes, the Chinese sell Americans three times as much stuff as Americans sell them. Therefore, they have more to lose. Inflict enough pain – like the combined 145 per cent taxes he slapped on Chinese imports last month – and they'll beg for mercy.

This morning, opposition leader Peter Dutton promised to "get a deal done" with U...
