The US seems to be at war with everyone. We now see China taking on the role of defender of International Law

CNN Portugal26 August 2026 at 22:45

Commentator José Tomaz Castello Branco analyzes US foreign trade policy, arguing that the country appears to be in confrontation with multiple international partners. The analyst highlights that the trade war against Canada, including the imposition of tariffs on steel and aluminum, has essentially domestic political motivations, serving to mobilize Donald Trump's MAGA base in the November midterm elections. Curiously, Castello Branco observes, China now emerges as a defender of International Law, in a role reversal in the global geopolitical scenario.
