Here’s what the US election results mean for Trump’s trade war with China

Tuesday’s U.S. midterm elections are poised to create significant changes for how President Donald Trump can accomplish his domestic goals, but the results may not mean much for the country’s trade policies.

Trump’s ‘America First’ philosophy is unlikely to drastically deviate from its current course even with Democrats winning the House of Representatives, strategists said.

NBC News projected late on Tuesday that Democrats had taken a majority in the House while Republicans had retained control of the Senate. Both chambers make up Congress — the country’s principal decision-making body — and approval from each is required to pass bills into law.
