After putting the pressure on China about the trade deficit in the form of tariffs, instead of just talking about like past Presidents have, China’s economy tanked. Recently China has an offer to buy 1 trillion dollars of USA made goods over the next six years, which could bring the trade deficit down near even.

While the details are fuzzy, if half of this comes true, what type of Credit should President Trump get? IMO, this could be his best achievement as President.
