I'm sure that'll do wonders for the US economy. Sanctions and tariffs only work if your economy is strong and everyone has to trade with you. The US economy is only strong on paper and China absolutely does not have to trade steel with the US. So this is just the US shooting itself in the foot yet again
Exactly, all this does is further convince China to decouple from US, and refocus trade on the BRICS. What US political class consistently fails to understand is that US needs China a hell of a lot more than China needs them.
It's like this meme, but the planet is not destroyed, everyone except west is just fine:
AmeriKKKa the paper eagle
more like house of cards eagle at this point
