You've said "Instead we get tariffs with quick retaliation e.g. from China, and I still see no negotiation in place" and that was what I was responding to.

Regarding China's government there should be no expectation of negotiation because they have demonstrated over the years they will not play fair and shouldn't be trusted to do so now.

If you don't know that because you haven't tracked geopolitics, now you know, and can perhaps review your opinion about world trade, which is strongly related to geopolitics.

Now, regarding other countries, you can't say there is "no negotiation in place": https://www.npr.org/2025/04/06/nx-s1-5354134/vietnam-asks-tr...
