Why the plural? This is something that was very much US made and other countries have no choice but to react. This is not something caused by multiple "upper echelons of governments".
This is something caused by exactly one government - US one. What did you expect, other countries to instantly give up their economy and soverenity the moment Trump said "I hate you and seek to harm you economically"? Especially since he added multiple times "and I want to annex you, take away pieces of your territory" and then added completely baseless accusations as a reason for it?
- maxehmookau 2y agoPersonally I didn't expect anything, I'm British. My point is more that it's economic ping-pong beyond the control of almost everyone except governments. The US government is specifically to blame here though, of course.
- immibis 2y agoThis trade war may be caused by one government, but they're not the only one causing untold misery for millions for no discernable benefit.
