to China: If you don't protect our software from theft, we
won't protect your gadgets when they arrive on our docks.
Third, use a crowbar to open promising sectors in foreign
markets. Let me suggest a natural fit for Trump: construction. Gaining approval to build Trump Tower on New
York's Fifth Avenue demonstrated a black belt in bureaucratic infighting. It required negotiating with historical
commissions, plumbers unions, doormen unions and fire
inspectors, not to mention shoppers at nearby Tiffany &
Co., who worried they'd miss their view of the 287-carat
diamond worn by Audrey Hepburn at breakfast. Trump
should fight against Chinese regulations that discriminate
against American engineers, designers and builders. Sure,
there are cultural barriers, but anyone who has mastered
computer-aided design or manufacturing can learn feng
shui. World-class engineering firms such as Jacobs, Fluor
and Bechtel pay high salaries and form the nexus of human,
financial and physical capital.
Fourth, recognize that trade is foreign policy, too. Convinced that the Soviet Union was teetering, Reagan denied

it advanced technology and kept the Soviet war machine a
generation behind. As Beijing sends its first aircraft carrier
sailing past disputed artificial islands built in the South
China Sea, and as Russian President Vladimir Putin boasts
of nuclear-powered cruise missiles, the U.S. must keep a
technological edge.
An excessively rash trade policy accompanied by too much
bluster could backfire for Trump. Americans could end up
facing higher prices, shoddier goods and angrier foreign
neighbors. But we'll have to take some risks to keep America
safe, prosperous and united. Is Trump ready to roll the dice
in order to win at trade diplomacy?
Buchholz, former White House director of economic policy and
managing director of the Tiger hedge fund, is the author of The Price
of Prosperity: Why Rich Nations Fail and How to Renew Them
(HarperCollins). He was awarded the annual teaching prize at Harvard
and is co-producer of the Broadway smash Jersey Boys. Buchholz is the
keynote speaker for the ILMA 2018 Management Forum. Follow him
