Or "launder" goods through there, like China did with Mexico and some other countries. Or the US did earlier in its colonial history.

The countries with the lowest tariffs will become connector economies. Whether governments want it or not, there is just too much profit to be made.

This is why Trump is specifically targeting those countries, but then other countries will take their place.

And the end game is, Trump can succeed, but not without a global recession and much higher prices for Americans.

Yeah.

And again, the US was a legendary tariff dodger back in the day. It's like our claim to fame. The irony is tremendous.
