Good for them but I also wonder if this is exactly what Trump and his minions want.

Like now he can go back and claim he is going to tarriff every country who doesnt help some insane amount until they send forces.

I mean this would require thinking ahead and I do not want to attribute any actual forethought to these people but it seems an obvious play to me.

The last round of tariffs were declared unconstitutional for the most part, so probably not where a planning mind would go.

Maybe he’s more thinking that the Europeans and East Asians need to oil just as much, so they should do something to keep it flowing?
