Trump has postponed tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods for 30 days, allowing for negotiations. However, his underlying motive is to project strength and show readiness to impose harm, not only for bargaining leverage. This pattern of behavior reveals that Trump often seeks to assert dominance by threatening countries and withdrawing from treaties, despite their benefits to the U.S. His actions are more about creating a narrative of power rather than genuine economic strategy, indicating a broader approach to international relations.
Trump’s tactics are less about economic strategy and more about creating a spectacle to reinforce his image as a powerful leader willing to impose chaos.
Trump’s willingness to harm smaller economies, like those of Canada and Mexico, illustrates his broader approach—exercising power to show he can do so with impunity.
