Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the implications of the trade war initiated by the Trump administration, highlighting the shift in attitudes of various countries towards the U.S. and the strengthening of ties with China as a result of U.S. tariff policies [1][4][19]. Group 1: U.S. Trade Policy and Global Response - The Trump administration's trade war has prompted over 75 countries, including Japan, Vietnam, and Canada, to seek tariff negotiations with the U.S. [1][3]. - Following China's strong retaliatory measures against U.S. tariffs, countries that initially sought U.S. concessions have begun to adopt a more assertive stance, negotiating new trade agreements with China instead [4][19]. - As of now, no formal tariff agreements have been reached between the U.S. and the countries that initially sought negotiations, raising questions about the effectiveness of the 90-day tariff reprieve announced by Trump [5][6]. Group 2: China's Position and Global Trade Dynamics - China's robust response to U.S. tariffs has led to a reassessment among countries that previously aligned with the U.S., as they now see potential benefits in aligning with China [8][19]. - The article suggests that the U.S. lacks the hard power to dominate the trade war, with China emerging as a likely winner, prompting countries like the EU, Japan, and Vietnam to reconsider their positions [19][21]. - The U.S. government's inconsistent policies and the lack of trust in the execution of any potential agreements further discourage countries from engaging in negotiations with the U.S. [22][23].
