I mean it IS retaliation though. It’s retaliation for thinking absurd tariffs are a great idea to apply to one’s allies.
And please do note that some particular countries who were until very recently considered geopolitical adversaries by our government (Russia; Belarus) are NOT targeted by any of the tariffs.
This is what happens when you switch teams, and all of your allies are not a fan of you switching teams, and they don’t want to be tied to your currency standard anymore.
Oh absolutely. Perhaps “necessarily” isn’t the right word. But the point is that even if you were somehow perfectly neutral (or worse, supportive) toward this horrifying shift in geopolitics, you still wouldn’t want to invest in the US dollar.
