Did it? They said it did, but I wouldn’t trust a word they say.
What concessions has he actually got from the rest of the world? Was it worth it? It seems to me the two biggest trading ‘partners’ (China and EU) were escalating, not conceding.
- arandomusername 2y agoAre you really doubting that countries wouldn't negotiate? Seriously? Multiple countries offered no tariffs, like Israel and Vietnam I think? EU offered 0/0 for cars/industrial. SK president said they will negotiate. > Was it worth it? Time will tell.

- const_cast 2y ago> Are you really doubting that countries wouldn't negotiate? Seriously? Yes. Trump and his administration lie more often then they tell the truth. There's virtually no reason to negotiate under those conditions, as random decisions will often have indistinguishable outcomes. All the countries who chose to do nothing, evidently, came out on top. Because the decision was reversed. Those attempting to conform to the chaos will be whiplashed around, like fish in a Tycoon. Doing nothing at all proves to be an equally effective strategy, on average.
