It'll be good for consumers worldwide. America is not the whole world.
I, for example, am in Canada. We've established a bunch of very nice trade deals with China recently, we're going to end up with access to a bunch of Chinese products that Americans can't get due to their self-imposed trade war with China.
funny how the news stop talking about the tariffs when it was still going in the us, im guessing continually reporting about trumps tariffs is actually go to hurt the republican plebs and companies. and i notice alot of products are more expensive or stopped being offered online shopping.
I think they mean that the US would put trade pressure on countries doing any tech trade with China, not specifically preventing it punishing American companies from using Chinese chips.
Unfortunately the United States is still a big economy regardless of their politics and Manny is right that the US would throw their weight behind anti China policies to the detriment of other nations.
How successful such a move would be is up to debate.
The US is already trying to throw its economic weight around bullying Canada, and we've already settled in to an effective economic defensive posture. Those trade deals with China are actually part of it, previously we were supporting various American initiatives to tariff China but the Americans tore up a bunch of agreements with us so we responded in kind. It's unfortunate but they started it and we're prepared to hold our own.
its what putin wants to isolate and weaken the US,.
The Americans are doing it all on their own. The russians are just trying to capitalize where they can.
Sad thing is that it is extremely unlikely that the US will be able to implement any kind of reforms around crime, corruption, judicial independence, restrictions on suffrage.
Luckily it seems to be making Europe and Canada stronger as well. Putin can weaken the US all he wants, but as long as Europe and Canada are not just standing around with their hands in their pockets, doing nothing, it wont benefit russia too much.
