However, the Trump tariffs aren't the sudden eruption of tariffs into existence. All the countries that have been assessed more than the 10% base tariff have tariffs on American exports now.

The problem is, @valued-customer, you believe what Trump said about ‘the other countries tariffs’ – and that is not true at all. That is a bunch of hogwash that you simply didn’t try to check.

I don't think the tariffs will cause WWIII

Nobody said that tariffs will cause the war – they are the first step, preliminary phase that leads to war. And the USA does not have any cards (as Trump would say) except the threat with war. It’s a desperate act that cannot end well for the USA, and maybe for the great part of the World as well.
