Or if the US fucks up enough for the rest of the world to put a UNO reverse card on the US. If China and the EU do that, the US is fucked within a few months. A "you can't trade with either of these markets when you trade with the US" would be interesting.
And tbh, from what I gather it's absolutely a option that is being discussed in diplomatic circles. The main reason it's not on the table is the huge amount of debts the USA has in China. And the EU will use it as a backup arrow for "further escalation". Maybe someone should tell Trump who actually delivers the machines for the factories he wants to "bring back". Hint: It's not the US.
