If Donald Trump follows through on his promised tariffs, the United States will likely trade much, much less with other countries. But what about the rest of the world?

History is about to repeat itself. History shows that Isolationism and tariff wars have never ended well. The only ones that will lose in tariff wars are we the people, as our costs of good will increase(inflation). Be prepared for more higher costs if tariffs being discussed are implemented.
Other countries can do globalization without the U.S. and since Trump's first election have been looking at ways around the U.S. for a lot of things. Americans need to get over the idea that the world won't be able to adapt without them.
Unfortunately, this probably means being at the bidding of Xi and that is not a good thing either. Anyone diminishing that risk for. your country is playing a fools game.
Trump is beholden to the interests of Putin. There is no reason any EU or other North American government should trust that at all. He has no respect for other people or nations.
They cut their major trading partner in the unrealistic expectation that replacements would beat a path to their door and now everybody knows what desperation looks like.
Trump is no exception.
He knows he can screw Britain until the pips squeak.
I am hoping the EU, UK, India, Mexico, Canada can form better alliances but, they need to be more wary of Xi than they are. He is not "our friend." anymore than Putin is.
Agreed. But since Donnie is a compulsive liar, he will not follow through. That’s the one positive with him: if he says something, chances are very high that he is lying. Either way this is going to be a shit show
Dumb bunny probably thinks of Tariffs on just finished goods.
Well, these multinational corporations rely on a bevy of Raw Materials coming from who knows where.
America wants a divorce
So let it have a Divorce
A standard vanilla, No fault Divorce.
With that comes-
No Intelligence sharing
Visa's for American travel abroad
Ban US Arms and munitions trade around the Globe
100% tariff on US goods traded on the World Market
Sidelined in NATO and NAFTA
Hopefully, the UK will start to tax US corporates like Amazon, Apple, and Meta properly if Trump goes rogue.
Trump may also see the end of the dollar as the world's trading currency if he pushes his agenda, and that would be seriously bad news for the US .
Well, we could just ban the USA from all international activities, trade amongst the free countries like we used to do during the Cold War and USSR times.
We need an honest report/coverage about those players who have ruined the standard prices of everything in the global trade, because this is the root of all evils we have to deal with today.
Just so everyone knows, the only person that thinks tariffs are a good thing is #TheOrangeMenace.
This is an attempt at extortion using the American people’s ability to save, spend, and thrive.
What is the matter with the press? If you go to Asia, USA barely features. China is now in South America & Africa. BRICS+ is forging ahead. It’s time USA learnt to get on with others.
Isolationism for 4 years and then the next US administration has to renegotiate it's global position with a weak hand because of the damage caused to the US economy.
Trade has improved even after 2016 with more bilateral agreements. Those will be tested & increased now. Opportunity for Trans Pacific Partnership CPTPP to grow its influence as a bulwark without USA and without China. Tariffs on AL last time made Canada money so Trump doesn't know what he's doing
American will lose its influential position over trade and economic. Countries have to shift their trade volumes to other partners, whose demands are friendlier.
The European market, Asia Pacific and South America are enormous. Throw in developing economies in Africa and some stable ME countries, and things will be fine.
The world economy has been built around America’s import/exports, to mess this up now would be detrimental on so many levels. It doesn’t just affect us, affects everyone’s economy. Anyone who’s too stupid to realize that a vote for Harris meant high groceries, try shopping next year. DUMMIES! 😤

@fatgarfield.bsky.social no dear what’s embarrassing is you thinking with your white privilege it’s OK to pick on a black woman for making a legit point, gaslight her afterwards she’s the one being toxic here when actually you’re the came over and started it… next time keep your mouth shut fat kitty

I know I ENJOY READING COMMENTS below journalism again.
Trump's business practices in the past tended to try to drive contractors to bankruptcy and he seems to take a lot of enjoyment out of it.
I see no reason to expect any less from him in his dealings with other trading Nations.
Including the UK.
