The US is effectively withdrawing from world markets.
This is profound and hard to believe --- because it is just plain dumb. China loves it. It is total capitulation to their economic agenda.
25% of US GDP is derived from global trade. Turning your back on this will lower the standard of living for Americans in general by raising prices.
Next up in this regression --- a default on US debt.
