WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January determined to overturn decades of American policy and build a tariff wall around a U.S. economy that used to be pretty much wide open to foreign products.In the process of making that a reality, he has rattled financial markets and worried consumers with an ever-changing lineup of import taxes.
