I beg to differ. Tge world's biggest economy pulling itself out of the global trade market will certainly have broad ranging impacts, but it will recover as new trade agreements and supply chains are rebuilt to bypass the US. What won't recover is the US.

You said “just the US”, I responded to say that it’s not just the US. Don’t move the goal posts

Perhaps you missed the period at the end of 'US'? At no point did I suggest that the tariffs will impact only the US. What I did say is that the US will be the last economy to recover, if at all.

Not downvoting you but just letting you know this objectively isn’t what your comment said. Not sure if you replied to the wrong thread or what.

What the first sentence of my initial response related to was the statement in the parent comment 'The whole planet has decided to pay more for everything'. The whole planet did not decide to do that, the US did by arbitrarily applying massive tariffs on just about everyone except Russia and Belarus. Perhaps I should have cited that in my initial post, but I thought the intent was clear. Seemingly not.
