The precedent alone means a forceful approach may get them refusing from sheer spite. Politically it would be suicidal to be seen as weak. As for how well tarrifs worked, see the story of the Chicken Tax and light trucks.
- ajsnigrutin 5y agoMeh... diplomacy is diplomacy... germans threathen the russians with an embargo, russians close down the gas pipes, they make a deal, and it's business as usual. Same thing is happening (although with less media coverage) between many countries daily.
