I think they’re saving that one, and don’t want to be that aggressive unless it’s necessary.
Pretty much. It's in the mix of what's being discussed, but the actual strategy is to gradually turn up the heat. Throwing everything at once would do enough damage to probably provoke a military invasion, and would leave us no leverage going forwards.
In fact, Trump has backed down enough we're not even deploying the second wave of tariffs (until his next freak-out).
