The tariff pause against the RoW is just the US giving itself a lifeline to Chinese goods without any more direct trade with China. Because Trump finally realised he will have literal riots on the streets if the tariffs went ahead and nobody can afford anything anymore.
Basically Chinese goods will land in Canada and Mexico, and immediately get redirected across the boarder to the U.S.
America has basically turned itself into a larger version of the DPRK that needs state-scale smuggling to provide its people with the basic goods they need to survive.
I would not be surprised if the likes of Amazon just built giant distribution centres literally across the boarders of the US and Canada/Mexico and receive goods in Canada/Mexico and dispatch them to the U.S.

Truly,truly Trump is a demented,malignant narcissus in extremis-I suspect like many others that last week's tariff was real.so was the annexation plans,so was the vile hateful,anti-China rhetoric and to that end actually enrich himself/family/cronies by billions from his self-create chaos.And now the irreversible downslide on USA mkts/economy may have begun.90 days-???A war may begin just to deflect all this economic shit storm against China.

@Captainquirk Excuse me, can you get your pres' mouth off my pres' ass? We're not interested in a Xi-Trump-Vietnam, et al human centipede of ass-kissing. We're trying to have a trade war here; be professional.
Pharma, presently, yes, but China is just around the corner on that one. But yes, IMO US leads in terms of innovation.
Agriculture - What is say a country like Vietnam going to buy? US agriculture basically lives on subsidy, something US tells others not to do. There is no significant innovation nor price advantage here in this segment.
Oil, Gas and petro products - again, there is no innovation and price advantage. Europe buys because US proxies blew up the existing supply chains and Canada sells to US for cheap. There is no *free market* reason to pursue it.
Chemicals - Super wide and complex industry, so I dont have know much about it.
Weapons: Purchases are driven by politics, not necessarily free market (innovation and/or price).
So most of the sectors you've mentioned, only Pharma pops out in terms of competitiveness (either innovation or price advantage).
I would say, Commercial space is another sector where US is most competetive.
Regarding services, bro, you havent seen some local Chinese apps. They'd swallow Google whole in one bite. A friend was in China, the app tells the fkn countdown timer of the signal and other crazy shit.
Ive not seen google maps show that in over 30+ countries ive used it in. Just a small example, there are so many nore. Once these services are saturated in local markets, they will start expanding by offering better and cheaper products. Deepseek was just a preview of things to come.
At the end if the day, it comes down to innovation and or price. And it seems like CCP has a full checklist of sectors theyre ticking off.
For now, Make America Great Again is postponed for 90 days. So when will they start making "Made in USA" panties in Mississippi?
Chinese good dont typically land in canada directly. because canada lack manufacturing, and lack ship/dock infrastructure.
amazon may pull out of canada, because of union
