President Trump faces several decisions in the coming weeks that will force him to either ratchet up his trade wars or retreat from key 2016 campaign promises as the 2020 election approaches.

The president has scheduled new tariffs on $156 billion worth of Chinese goods that will go into effect on Dec. 15 if a deal is not struck to avert them. While the dispute with China is the biggest consideration Trump faces, he’s also reached critical junctures in other trade matters. Both the White House and congressional Democrats say talks on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement on trade are nearly complete except for a few thorny, unresolved issues. On Monday, the White House said it would start the process to hit France with tariffs on $2.4 billion worth of goods, with a final policy possible early next year. A White House decision on whether to apply tariffs on auto and auto parts imports is already past due.
