President Donald Trump delayed enforcing tariffs on Canada and Mexico by a month .

The president's flip-flopping on international trade has caused price hikes and diplomatic friction.

Supply chain scholars say economic uncertainty is a feature of Trump 's trade policy, not a bug.

Trump is playing a game of brinkmanship, or pushing a risky situation to the brink of disaster before backing down in the hopes of a positive outcome.

Christopher Tang , a professor at the University of California , Los Angeles , said he isn't convinced that's Trump 's primary goal.

Tang said he believes Trump 's tariffs are more likely an attempt to "close the backdoor" for Chinese products using Mexico as a transition point to avoid tariffs.
