President Trump's trade war sent global markets reeling this week. How Trump has handled tariffs shows the farthest thing from stability and predictability. A look at this and three other takeaways.

The president announced he would raise tariffs on China to 125% "effective immediately" but said he was pausing big hikes on other U.S. trading partners to allow time for trade negotiations.

President Trump said that he is standing up for skilled workers and farmers by slapping tariffs on imports, but farmers aren't happy.
