Donald Trump appears locked in a high-stakes game of chicken, with the world's economy hanging in the balance.

Some nations labelled "worst offenders" are scrambling to make nice with the White House to end this game.

China , in contrast, is playing a different game, one of retaliation and resistance.

Trump has pressed ahead, even as some allies in Congress and on Wall Street wonder if he's going too far.

One theory is that Trump has a plan with several of his top advisers the "Mar-a-Lago accord", it is called with the ultimate goal of compelling America 's trading partners to weaken the US dollar on the international currency exchange.

Such a move would make American exports more affordable to foreign markets and diminish the value of China 's large reserves of US currency.
