"Everybody sit back, take a deep breath, don't immediately retaliate. Let's see where this goes, because if you retaliate, that's how we get escalation," Bessent said in an interview with CNN's Kaitlin Collins.
By asking everyone not to retaliate you acknowledge it’s an attack.
Seriously, every trump admin person is the stupidest fucker available.
"Hey, don't make this awkward" says man standing behind chimpanzee pointing a gun at you.
A tactic used by bullies (and imperialists) everywhere.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is urging other countries to not retaliate against President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs and to "take a deep breath."
"Everybody sit back, take a deep breath, don't immediately retaliate. Let's see where this goes, because if you retaliate, that's how we get escalation," Bessent said in an interview
Yes, because other countries are the ones escalating. Get fucked.
"stop! Let me bully you!"
hey! don't bully US!!

Technically I'm their best interests to get as many countries to all retaliate at the same time.
