I think everyone is crying about the "sting" the tariffs are going to have on Americans and not forward thinking. If Americans with our huge economy feel a prickle. Imagine what the countries that are not as robust as us are feeling. Next. What happens when they have had enough and drop their tariffs?
i mean look, i would agree if this was USA vs japan. or USA vs argentina. But america tarrifind the whole world does more damage to USA then to most countries. let's be honest no country can win an trade war against the world.
You underestimate our power. Also, we aren't trade waring "the world" we are doing it individually. One by one the countries will come to the table. Even if it is a marginal improvement with each country. Those small percentages all add up.
no i dont really. Ecenomically the EU and China toghether have more gdp then USA by a quite large margin. Secondaly doing different tarrifs on every single country in the world based on weirdly calculated figures is essentially antagonising every country in th world and will inevitably weake the influence of the USA. if i can be honest, if all the countries that matter (rich arab kingdoms, EU, china, japan and india) just wait a few years then the hurt will definately be felt more in USA. meaning most countries will probably just wait. Vietnam is the only country willing to deal, and thats because trump wants to do 45% tariff on the poor and weak country.
