Spell it out then. Who these other countries aligning with China? Tell me which countries want 125% tariffs on the goods they send to the US.
Since 2013, China has been investing in foreign infrastructure through Belt and Road, which now touches some 145 countries across every continent in the world. China has used that to establish economic ties to countries which absolutely will slow them just tying themselves to the US. And that doesn’t begin to discuss countries as trading partners. To imply that the entire world has picked the US over China displays a simplicity of logic that certainly doesn’t deserve the absolute authority you are claiming to have.

What exactly does he need public approval for?

China would go to war because we don't want to solely rely on them for our consumption, letting them drive down the cost of goods and labor?
Sounds less like a trading partner and more like a hostage situation.

Wait...so the amount of Fentanyl coming from Canada and Mexico no longer constitutes a national emergency?
Happy with the tariffs. Sorry to see the Administration lie about why they were being imposed.

The lack of respect china has shown?
Reciprocal tarrifs , delay them, implement them, pause them, hike them up to insane numbers.

Well, everyone has been screwed over by China and because the world depends on the dollar, lining up the "allies" should not be a problem.

He paused on other countries because they did not retaliate, but China did. Now China will have loads of crap they can't sell cheaply to the U.S, their biggest customer. It's putting China in a box. They can't afford to stop producing, but they will have to.

They sure did, 75 countries and counting begging for a deal and in the meantime we pick up a hefty 10%, brilliant, Im glad you could see it as well.

Most dont realize the EU gave china a big haircut on trade the past year, almost a 20% reduction. They certainly are not going to "pivot" to china.
chini gonna find themselves the last one at the dance with no partner

Everything has been retaliatory. Once you accept that, this whole process will be a lot easier to understand.
Trump didn't have a 5 step plan. He had a 2 step plan . Everything else has been dependent with what each country counters in return.
