π¨π³π¨πΊπΈTrump's tariffs against China will FAIL: Here's whyπ
πChina is gradually transforming its global supply chain into what Asia Times describes as βGlobalization 2.0β.
π¨π³πChina has diversified its market and not only the US is one of its big buyers. In the chart below, it can be seen how China is gradually shifting its exports to the Global South.
πU.S. companies and economies depend on Chinese aluminum, gallium, lithium, germanium, and other rare metals.
πTrump's recent threats to impose 100% tariffs on BRICS countries is a shot in the foot because China does not depend on the US, the US depends on China.

π¨πΊπΈπHere's why US technological dominance is DOOMED
π¬In the 1970s-80s, the US produced research that led to the digital revolution, the development of advanced microchips, and the creation of new sophisticated weapons. Most remarkably, it did so while spending only 1% of their GDP on research and development.
πβ οΈBut the de-industrialization and financialization of the US economy has caused many companies to prioritize short-term profits over innovation, which is time-consuming and financially expensive (at least initially)
π¨π³π₯By contrast, China is the world's leading industrial powerhouse. This means that company's put a heavy emphasis on research and development to produce new cutting-edge products.
π€πChina is clearly surpassing the technological peaks that once dominated the US. This situation is no longer only in technology, it is extrapolated to other fields, from military to educational and industrial.

π¨πΊπΈπ¨π¦π²π½ Prediction: Trump will STEAMROLL Canada and Mexico
Some people in the multipolar space are predicting Trumpβs new tariffs against Canada and Mexico will backfire. We think theyβre greatly mistaken.
Letβs take a look at a breakdown of trade among the three countries:
πΈ75% of Canadian exports go to the US. Only about 12% of US imports come from Canada
πΈ80% of Mexican exports go to the US. Only about 14% of US imports come from Mexico
πΈExports to US account for 20% of Canada GDP. Exports to Canada account for 1.5% of US GDP.
πΈExports to US account for 30% of Mexico GDP. Exports to Mexico account for 1.3% of US GDP.
π±π¦βοΈ And donβt forget that Canada and Mexico are TOTALLY DEPENDENT on US technology, financial system, and mechanical parts.
CONCLUSION: Trump has vastly more leverage than Canada and Mexico. If he decides to play hardball, they wonβt have much choice but to surrender.
