Description

Homeless people sleep under a bridge in front of a mural depicting U.S. President Donald Trump as a puppeteer manipulating Brazil's then-President Jair Bolsonaro, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2019. Trump is political gold in Latin America, where many voters resent the long history of American bullying in the region, writes Tom Moran.

When Donald Trump swore his oath in January, he promised to impose stiff tariffs to end the giant trade deficit he blames for poisoning our economy and hollowing out the heartland. And in six months, the average rate has jumped from about 2 percent to 18 percent.
