    You are assuming the tariffs will stay in place for a predictable enough duration that anyone will invest in rerouting trade through those countries. That is very unlikely while Trump rolls the dice anew every other week.

      That’s a bit optimistic.

      Trump is deliberately choosing chaos as a strategy, but his goal is quite clear.

      Biden didn’t roll back a lot of Trump’s tariffs, so I am assuming these tariffs could easily extend beyond Trump.

      Since the US economy will be paying the price on the short term, the situation next year and beyond will be that the US best interest would be to not rollback anything without trade partners offering concessions.
