The article emphasizes the geopolitical consequences of Trump's tariffs, which disproportionately affect the U.S.'s traditional allies in Asia, like Japan and Taiwan, while favoring China. Despite a temporary suspension of tariffs due to market consequences, the danger remains for these countries, who depend on U.S. support for security against China. The article argues that such policies risk damaging longstanding alliances and may force countries to seek deeper economic relations with China, contradicting decades of U.S. foreign policy aimed at countering Beijing's influence.
Trump's tariff campaign clearly favors China, putting traditional allies like Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan at risk, while encouraging deeper ties with Beijing.
Despite the U.S. backing down on tariffs after market backlash, the threat remains, indicating a shift in U.S. foreign policy that undermines long-term alliances.
