Former Trump national security advisers and allies suggest that if Trump wins a second term, he may escalate the trade war with China by imposing stricter export controls on key US technologies. They indicate a reduced interest in negotiating a deal, potential efforts to isolate Chinese companies like BYD, and a focus on more extensive tech export controls compared to Biden's approach. Trump's second-term foreign policy could involve decoupling from China, imposing high tariffs, treating China as an adversary, supplying arms to Ukraine with EU funding, increasing nuclear arsenal, and strengthening ties with leaders like MBS, Bibi, and Orban.
