Investors don't know how the trade dispute might evolve and what it might mean for the global economy. Although President Trump continued to bash America's trade deals Monday on Twitter, he said the United States and China could settle their dispute. But things looked worse at the end of last week, when Trump threatened to impose tariffs on an additional $100 billion worth of Chinese goods. China has pledged to "counterattack with great strength" if Trump follows through on that threat. The two nations had already proposed $50 billion in tariffs on imports, but none of that has taken effect yet.
