Trump's Make America Great Again is giving the world an ultimatum of a trade war or accept their terms of paying tariffs of 10-20%.
Much of the world has been in a free trade agreement or free market capitalism which Trump wants to end.
A few problems have arisen with this agreement- before, during and even after Trump first term.
1. China wants to access the global market while applying protectionism to the Chinese economy and also blocking certain industries from having any foothold in China.
Protectionism could be tax codes or investment, or some form of government ownership (non-private sector).
2. Manufacturing has been outsourced to China, but now China is getting better at manufacturing than any country - bar the US for some product types. This has created a decline in certain job types in the West. Some people are going to be more suited to office jobs, but others will be more suited to manufacturing, engineering etc- so there are fewer opportunities for certain types of people.
4. Competition is decreasing instead of increasing from globalisation. The computer industry especially suffers from this when direct competitors merge, or bigger players just copy the IP of a smaller inventor. This has made shareholders richer than ever before. This has created the mega-class Silicon Valley oligarchs with an ego that mankind has never seen before. So the US wants a free market - but with as little competition as possible as long as they are US companies. (Which is contrary to a free market system that has the power checks of competition and choice).
5. Trump enters politics to win the presidency in 2016 campaigning on bringing jobs back to America (e.g. reducing off-shoring of jobs). Trump suggests practices which are contrary to the free market and more in line with China's double-handed practices.
The rise of MAGA a working class movement that wants to take on the establishment, and Trump is the only alternative.
Trump's team are speaking to the UK about a deal - saying they have to choose between the "socialist" EU or the free-trade US.
This just equates to US companies being able to sell into the UK market to reduce competition, and offshore jobs to the East.
Trump is also complaining about VAT, but the US does also have income tax albeit lower. But there are other taxes that people pay anyway, it all ends up in the same pot.
It is pretty obvious that if Trump is forcing the UK to choose between the EU and the US, it is better to stick with the EU- perhaps even rejoining the EU in the longer term.
This is not the same America of the 20th century. It is now owned by the Silicon Valley Cabal and their populist president. It might just be best to match the Trump tariffs and just allow the trade war to happen.
Another option is buying more from China, but that is hardly the ideal solution either.
