I hope we respond by putting tariffs on American pickups. Democratic nations need to cut the US out of the global economy entirely until they learn how to act right.

Apologies if there's any weirdness in this post, it's my first one.

there was absolutely no planning any country can do to survive an insane trade war with the united states. nothing. there's no other trading partners that can take the exports in the volume every country trades with the US, without taking devastating hits to their own economies, which would see recession and depressions on a scale never experienced before in the modern world.

    Our biggest trade partners are japan and china.

    We measure trade income from the us in hundred millions, sure. But we measure trade from asia in the billions

    "Our biggest trade partners are japan and china. We measure trade income from the us in hundred millions, sure. But we measure trade from asia in the billions"

    lol no, Not if you live in Australia In 2023, the United States was our third-largest two-way trading partner in goods and services, worth $98.7 billion. Australia's goods and services exports to the United States were $33.6 billion. Australia's total imports from the United States were $65.1 billion. but this is why morons think it's no big deal just "cut of the US from Global trade"
