IMO, it's 50/50 if world can win the trade war US is setting on them. Extreme cowardice from world leading up to April 2, but people are boycotting US products, and shifting military procurement. Even if they limit counter tariffs, US sales should dive, and US will face higher prices. The 50/50 part is whether manufacturing moves out of US as a response. US automakers making wrong decision on Canada for instance is a fairly large market that would see them face same fate as Tesla. Boeing is sure to dive.
US generating hate is sure to make its economy contract. Just a matter of how much.
