Trumps tariffs have harmed nobody as much as they have American citizens. Not just in the short term, but forever. For instance yesterday Canada announced a trade deal with China on that removed the ban on Chinese EVs. With the US tariffs on cars and the nonsense that entailed, Canada has lifted the ban on EV imports, thus removing the protection that the North American auto industry enjoyed. Few Canadians will be buying $80k F150s, when a Chinese truck costing half as much is available. the auto industry was worth well over a trillion dollars a year.
Trump recently enlisted help from Denmark in the capture of ships carrying Venezuelan oil - which it received. It has been reported tha they just asked for assistance with attacks on Iran - presumably as a point for refuelling? So they are asking for help from a country they have said they will be partially annexing - by force if necessary. Part of the reason for asking for refuelling in Denmark is probably because they anticipate European/NATO countries to refuse permission to launch strikes on Iran from bases in their countries, but the US problems in attacking Iran also have a lot to do with the US not having its usual aircraft carriers in the region, because they are in the Caribbean threatening Venezuela, Colombia, possibly Brazil ? and Cuba. All that, when this passed year has seen the US bomb Syria, Venezuela, Iran, Yemen and Nigeria - its also announced its intention to retake parts of Afghanistan, annexing Canada and Iceland and possibly going to war with NATO and Russia, at the same time as deploying the US military on US oil to bring martial law and the end of US elections..
I don't think tariffs scare anyone anymore and for many, watching the US accelerate it's levels of self harm just makes us hopeful of a quicker end to the country that has inflicted such misery on the world.
