There are no concrete asks from the US. The president appears to vehemently believe that tariffs will “generate revenue”. There is also the unhinged proposition to absorb Canada as the 51st state.

Also, siding with Russia in their apparent plan to invade Europe, and trying to annex Greenland. Why should they continue to trade with us?

  Almost everything you have said is wrong. Its quite remarkable to hear accusations of being ill informed or living in an information bubble from someone who is clearly suffering from both.

  >The tariffs on Mexico/Canada are to get them to step up and stop the flow of drugs and illegal immigrants into our country. They did take action. Trump slapped them anyway, without Trump asking anything more. >He has said this nearly every time he has talked about the tariffs. Will it generate some revenue sure but probably not much. Trump has literaly said that it would bring in so much revenue that he will dismantle the IRS and replace it with the ERS. >This is all about does American and its people have the resolve to play hardball. Why would anyone trust Trump to abide by any agreement? He's a liar and a backstabber. The rest of the world can act as if the US was razed to the ground.

  > They have $57T in debt, look at that number, it is 3x their GDP. Where are you getting this $57T number from? Most sources put it closer to $2.5-$3T max https://english.www.gov.cn/archive/statistics/202312/29/content_WS658eb709c6d0868f4e8e29bf.html https://english.www.gov.cn/archive/statistics/202312/29/cont...
