What does 'leverage' matter when Trump says he has no demands??

Why suddenly tariff someone (on false pretenses) you have a comprehensive trade agreement with?

Coinbase employee (Investigatooor), personal account. Onchain is the future.

At the moment it's not clear that reducing the retaliatory tariffs would cause ours to drop. It also turns into a game of chicken where they're trying to inflict maximum economic damage in hopes of getting a new admin in 4 years. The conservative party in CA is already signaling commitment to fighting fire with fire.

Just assume it continues to escalate and we get to 100% tariffs on both sides.

Who caves first?
