As ever with President Donald Trump’s trade war, a fog of uncertainty and potential U-turns persists. In this case, the details that have emerged suggest the deal would represent a good first step for Detroit, but only that. Don’t tell the president, but foreign automakers look like more immediate beneficiaries.
