Wouldn't it be smarter to do that before increasing the tarriff to 125%? That doesn't make sense to me either..

  If Trump did not counter China's retaliation, then that would've significantly weakened the US's position with every other country.

    If China doesn’t counter whatever the F we “counter” that would significantly weaken its position with every other country… and the wheel turns with this line of thinking… except of course Trump brought a knife to a gunfight :)

      Only, China isn't actively negotiating tariffs with every other country right now, so whether they retaliate won't impact their situation the same as it does from the US's point of view.

        I really hope you are joking thinking China isn’t negotiating everything with everyone other than USA right now, starting with the very today publicly EU…

  The user you’re replying to is a brand new account with MAGA written all over them.

    There are many people supporting MAGA here (who have their own goals) but seeing true believer, with naive takes, is not that common.
