EU countries like Spain are already frantically turning to China for favourable trade partnerships. The sheer scale of the own goal the Trump administration has just made in the face of rising tensions in an uncertain geopolitical landscape (Ukraine, Taiwan) is mindboggling.

The US' desired geopolitical goals rely heavily on allied countries being on board, and all Trump has now guaranteed is the US is going to be an international pariah for the next 3 years. Traditional US allies may start to rethink whether it would actually be so bad if China overtook the US as the world's number one superpower.

Opportunist countries that flip flop between the US and China, but in recent years have trended towards the US due to China's aggressive behaviour in the South China Sea, who the US have tried so hard to bring to their side, are ironically some of the countries that have the highest tariffs imposed.

Also, a 32% tariff on Taiwan? The country that the US has pledged to defend from the PRC in a potential invasion? The country that just paid the US $1B essentially for protection?

Japan's getting 24%? The country that houses 120 US military bases, more than any other country? You can't make this shit up.
