It seems this would be a war of attrition. The basic calculus is the stronger economy wins. Caveat being the trade context , of course, and the existence of viable substitutes or alternative trade partners.

First of all, "Trade war," is an oxymoron.
Second, if we the consumers end up paying higher prices while somehow thinking or claiming our side won, how is that winning exactly?

Too soon to celebrate a win.
