“…Countries with a trade surplus are winners, whereas countries with a trade deficit get "ripped off" and lose production, jobs, and welfare to their trading partners. Hence, the main objective is to induce economic growth and create jobs by reducing the trade deficit (Janusch and Witold 2017 by the United States and the European Union toward China could more likely prompt fundamental changes to China's economic model. Furthermore, Trump's negotiation approach is based on the wrong indicator of success.…”

In the context of the American decline, President Trump’s trade war toward a rising China fits into the pattern of a declining hegemon, as predicted by hegemonic stability theory. Trump’s trade policy is driven by his view of trade as a zero-sum game, his fixation on the trade deficit, and his “maximum pressure” negotiation approach. The result - the “phase one” deal - seems to be a trade ceasefire rather than a lasting trade peace between the declining hegemon and its ascending challenger because it stands on a shaky foundation. This “phase one” deal does not address the structural problems in the US-Sino trade relation. Moreover, its goals are unrealistic, and it is built upon a dispute settlement that favors deal determination over rule-based conflict resolution.

“…In view of Trump's particular character and personality, Europeans became increasingly distressed by his vision of international politics, and above all, U.S. policies that have an impact on the values and interests of "the Old Continent," namely international commerce (Janusch & Mucha, 2017;Koeth, 2019;Welfens, 2019) and the transatlantic military alliance (Burns & Lute, 2019;Polyakova & Haddad, 2019;Sperling & Webber, 2019). Similarly, European governments reacted with shock and dismay to Washington's unabashed support of the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union (Norris & Inglehart, 2019;Wilson, 2017).…”

What is the opinion held by the European press on the U.S. election campaign and the candidates running for president? What are the predominant issues that attract the attention of European print media? Does Europe detest Donald Trump? The objective of the present study is to analyze the perception European commentators had of the 2020 race for the White House. The media, the audience, and European governments were captivated more than ever before by how the U.S. election campaign unfolded, fixing their gaze on the contest between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Through a combined quantitative and qualitative methodology, a combination of content analysis and the application of framing theory (hitherto scarcely applied to opinion pieces), our research centers on exploring the views, opinions, and analyses published in eight leading newspapers from four European countries (France, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom) as expressed in their editorials and opinion articles. This study observes how the televised presidential debates were commented on, interpreted, and assessed by commentators from the eight newspapers we selected. The goal was to identify the common issues and frames that affected European public opinion on the U.S. presidential campaign and the aspirants to the White House.
