United States (US) President Donald Trump hit social media hard on Friday, noting through a series of posts that his plans to execute widespread tariffs on most of the US trading allies are back on the table as a means of addressing the US federal deficit. Without any changes to funding sources, the US' budget shortfall is expected to swell under President Trump's stewardship as his proposed tax cuts will cause the federal government's inflows to evaporate.
President Trump also voiced his desire to "end the trade deficit with Japan", which currently stands at $65 billion annually.
