Dr. Joeri Schasfoort examines both interviews and papers by Scott Bessent and Stephen Miran. Based on these he explains what Trump and his team try to achieve by tariffing nearly every country on earth.

I seriously doubt that the plan will work because it hinges on the trust of US allies but I guess we will all see how it works out.
The auto summary being in Russian is so funny I almost up voted…
