> Why Trump's tariff chaos actually makes sense (big picture) [0]
The title is a little misleading. The video explains objectively the logic used for the tariffs mostly to first to create chaos. But, towards the end, it makes the argument that the current strategy also requires countries to have a high level of trust that the United States will uphold treaties and agreements for the current strategy to work. The end goal is to force countries to become vassals to the United States by pegging their currency to the dollar with the benefit that the United States will provide military protection. However, without the trust the United States will honor agreements this strategy will fall apart.
