One thing I don't know is the extent to which this stuff goes on all the time but just doesn't typically get air on news. In the past I remember hearing about stories about things hitting (I think) WTO courts. That's much higher up the escalation chain. It seems like to some extent there is an interested audience for this right now so the threshold for what is reportable has shifted. That doesn't necessarily mean anything has actually changed.

Take the Indian case, by having the deal aired, Indian politicians have had to look tough. The US could have gotten a better deal by making the threat behind closed diplomatic channels. Amateur hour at the white house. (Or shall I say Trump hour?)
