This is a good thing because this means countries will take Trump serious with his one trick tariffs pony, but the only thing I caution is treating all of our allies like **** will come back to haunt us, but since you guys are all isolationists, that doesn't matter.
We hold the cards. They need us more than we need them. Be strong and dictate policy.
I willing to see how it plays out, maybe it works out, but there is always a potential for a backfire. And this isn't a Trump thing, that tends to be the case with all policy decisions. I would have preferred the pressure to be applied by Rubio instead of public embarrassment of an ally
