The only logical reason for tariffs on countries like Vietnam that I’ve seen:

A negotiation tactic to get Vietnam to put a tariff on China.

It’s to get everyone else to box China in. https://x.com/eastdakota/status/1909822463707652192

*TRUMP: RAISING TARIFF CHARGED TO CHINA TO 125% EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

*TRUMP: MORE THAN 75 COUNTRIES IN CONTACT WITH US TO NEGOTIATE

*TRUMP: AUTHORIZED 90 DAY PAUSE, LOWERED RECIPROCAL TARIFF OF 10%

Trade war against China only, for now https://t.co/lNFJUYtoNH
