Not a realistic option in today's world, sorry. I can suggest some literature

I’m not sure you’ve been reading the news lately. Hundreds of billions of trade dollars are being routed around the US.

It’s extremely realistic to cut them out.

Genuinely what does the US sell that a country like Brazil or Canada or Australia can’t get elsewhere or live without?

You don't need to, I have worked with multiple clients that faced this very option.

And yes, the choice was still to do business with US in every case, but I can tell you 100% it was far from a crystal clear easy decision and that the camel is breaking.

You can only push so much.
