The Chinese have loans as leverage
The Japanese and Koreans have us bonds as leverage
He will chicken out yet again because they will eventually pass them through to customers .. the argument that tariffs aren’t just an extra tax is wearing thin |

How long will they suffer the humiliation of being dictated to such as ...
The sanctions are laid out in the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025, a bill drawn up by Lindsay Graham, an influential US senator, that has widespread support in Congress.
The measure would impose a 500 per cent tariff on goods from nations that buy Russian energy.
China, India, Turkey and Brazil would be forced to find alternative sources to retain access to the US market. The extension of sanctions on Russia’s central bank could further complicate trade. |

The answer to that is yes … and no… as with all things
The bill you mentioned by Lindsay Graham has huge support in the senate… not as much support in the house
Unless it were to get a super majority (2/3rd) in both houses , the president would still the power to veto the bill
Probably won’t do that, bad optics… he could just leave it on his desk to delay the bill, he could ask the leader of the house not to bring it up for a vote
So the 100% tariff threat to anyone doing business will be enough to get the attention

Tariffs in general have been around a long time and are in place along the majority of trade routes. Most are tit for tat and just a fund raising exercise.
On the face of it, free global trade seems a good idea and it would be if all things were equal, but they are not. Wages, social security and taxation differ from country to country, which is why it’s cheaper to make stuff in the far east and ship it half way around the world than it is to make it here. It’s that situation that tariffs should address.
Trumps tariffs however, seem to have very little to do with global trade and everything to do with playing to the mob. |
