As President Trump considers his 2020 re-election strategy, the “America First” agenda championed by former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is in conflict with the “Economy First” agenda supported by most of Trump’s current White House advisers on trade policy and the importance (or lack thereof) of the promised border wall, Mike Allen reports in Axios.

Why it matters: Trump is getting conflicting advice. The Bannon purists want America First, and most of his friends want Economy First.

The next month — with pending decisions on immigration and trade wars — will show whether he reverts to his campaign norm in action, not just words.
What to watch: The Bannon-Breitbart-Stephen Miller wing believes Trump has to deliver on building a wall, curtailing immigration and cracking down on China. Moderating forces like Gary Cohn, Steven Mnuchin, James Mattis and Rex Tillerson are counseling against moves that could alienate allies and roil global markets. Watch for a hot war this next month in conservative media on this front.

Trump has been on the trade issue and America First for 40 years, while Bannon was still in the Navy and working for Goldman-Sachs. Donald Trump doesn't need advice from Bannon or his friends on trade. Trump is determined to fix this trade problem, whether his friends like it or not, it's the primary reason why he ran for President.
