The metrical approach of Einstein's is correct in principle, but
incorrect in its execution.  The same metrical approach can be applied
to electromagnetic interactions. Consider point charges A and B.  Each
is considered to influence the other both electromagnetically and
gravitationally with a delay r/c. If A jiggles, then B jiggles in
response. B feels only one force, it has only one acceleration, and in
simple form F is just ma. That is, forces don't have types, and so it
is an error in logic to attempt to produce different types of it and
incorporate them into theory. Force is actually quite redundant, there
is in reality only the acceleration and the matter being accelerated.
Force is a mathematical concept only.

In the case of ordinary collisions between neutral masses, the
accelerations are all produced via electromagnetic interactions
between the charged particles of which the masses are composed.  If we
provide for long range electromagnetic repulsive forces between these
masses, then the accelerating forces are all still electromagnetic in
origin.  But in the former case, since the masses are neutral, we
cannot distinguish these inertial accelerations from a localized
gravitational field. This is because when we take the objects as a
whole it is easy to overlook the complex series of electromagetic
interactions that are actually responsible. In my estimation precisely
this same error is commited in the case of the gravitational
interactions that we observe. If a complexity of electromagnetic
interactions can cause neutral objects to repel each other (ordinary
collisions), then it must also be possible for a similar complexity of
electromagnetic interactions to cause neutral masses to attract one
another. And indeed, in the case of oppositly charged masses, they do
attract, not just the charges of opposite sign, but the entire neutral
mass to which these charges are bound. Once again, in order for
particles of charge of both signs to be accelerated, a complex series
of electromagnetic interactions is required, exactly as in the case of
collision between neutral masses.  So here is an example of where the
Coulomb force can be regarded as equivalent to a gravitational force.
I am not saying that Coulomb forces are responsible for gravitational
interactions between charge neutral masses however. As it so happens
charges also exert lorentz forces, and these are dependent upon the
relative speeds of the charges wrt each other.  Because of these,
there really are no "neutral" masses. The positive and negative
charges within ordinary matter do not have equal average speeds, but
there is an assymetry between them due to their differences in mass.

This imbalance in lorentz forces can lead to net attractions, and I
have at one point provided the math to that end.
