< bullcrap type=pure > The tariff threat strategy is also risky. Since 2018, the U.S. has been fighting a trade war with China, as each country has imposed several rounds of tariffs against the other. If America levies tariffs against countries for failing to appreciate their own currencies, it should expect further retaliation. A recent Tax Foundation study found that tariffs from the Trump and Biden administrations have amounted to a $625 annual tax on Americans and have cost the U.S. the equivalent of 142,000 jobs. A new wave of tariffs would add to this pain. < /bullcrap >

Not having a tariff is risky. Anway the USA has been in a trade war with the entire world since 1990. Well if you call complete capitulation a war....
