Correct option - 3

Here, the passage is based upon trade war between U.S. and other countries of the world. Since, the passage cannot start with S, since it does not mention full name of Trump which is mentioned in Q. And, full name comes first. Thus, option 2 is eliminated. And, R shows a reactions given by hardliners(a member of a group, typically a political group, who adheres uncompromisingly to a set of ideas or policies). Thus, the passage cannot start with a reaction to an action. Hence, 4 is eliminated. Now, correct sequence should be QP, because it in P is mentioned for 'trade war' in Q. Thus, they are coupling with each other. Hence, option 1 is eliminated. Thus, option 3 i.e. QPSR is the correct sequence.
