This is literally what happened with DMCA and digital trade agreements in the 90s/2000s. The US "suggested" other countries create their own equal laws (by threatening them with tariffs if they didn't).

The threats worked up until current Big Boss decided to tariff everyone anyway, on Liberation Day.

Not only is there now no incentive for other countries to follow suite - there is now strong incentive for other countries to distance themselves from US trade. Recent history has made that abundantly clear.
