I’m not suggesting anyone just do it cold turkey. I am suggesting, though, that they start re-tooling their economies to not rely on the US in it in whatever ways they’re able; we’re an unreliable partner, clearly, and anyone whose economy is reliant on us at this point is just asking to get burned or bent over by Trump.
It’s certainly a wake-up call for nations that are over-reliant on US trade to diversify their partnerships. Essentially what the US is doing is globalisation in reverse and hopefully they will find out why globalisation was previously so popular with world leaders.
