The worst part is that USA is more of a service economy than a manufacturing economy.

They have lost their manufacturing abilities to China and they won't get it back. Be it by economic tarrifs, sanctions or even by war. They won't get it back.

They have lost it. Trump is just beating a dead horse.

The food trump dey cook for other countries. They will finish it but they one they are will cook for him, he no go finish am.
True they have lost it, but saying they can't get it back is no, no. Nothing is impossible

Deepseek or whatever is no where near chat Gtp, crashing the market is a normal norm... If for example, four person's are supposed to produce something, three finished earlier and fixed prices , it's normal that when the last comes in stream, the existing three will b affected by sales and prices....

Nothing special
Deepseek nowhere near ChatGPT? Lol

Comments like this really tells the depth of understanding of this matter.

It's only kids who don't know the implications of an action until their fingers get burnt.
Lol I'm a Trump supporter however his policies are mostly counterproductive in the long run,with the way things are going the US is going to lose their world power status to China faster than they ever thought

Trump's use of tariffs to pressure countries is worrying. He's threatening a 100% tariff on computer chips made in Taiwan, pushing companies to move production to the U.S. instead of relying on foreign manufacturing. While he aims to boost American industries, his aggressive approach feels more like bullying than diplomacy. Calling him the "Tariff Lord" might be fitting, as he uses tariffs like a weapon to get what he wants. It's a bold strategy, but it risks harming international relationships and trade.
Those companies who don't want to build their manufacturing hub in the US or return to US, will definitely a new market to sell their products, or find a way to sell to US through third party unsanctioned countries/products or a combination.

There's always a way to evade tariffs. The same way Russia is using and that's why their economy hasn't fallen after thousands of sanctions on their products.

Threat can't always work, diplomacy and incentive is the way in the law of attraction.

China single handedly funded the AU building in Addis Ababa even tho was a trojan gift so yes they can do freebies that align with their foreign policy.

Have you seen the magic China is doing in the manufacture of EV for instance,even Tesla is having a hard time to keep up with the numbers,it's a shot in the foot for the US,they introduce tarrifs for imported goods to the US which makes the goods more expensive in the US market,so taking EV for example China has already mass produced EV that are basically cheaper than the US alternative and are shipping all over the world, with time they would the biggest EV producer and take the market,I hope you get the drift now or do I get some crayons to paint a better picture to the level of your understanding?

Because you guys don't have sense to know how it is already affecting you. If he do that phones, computers and electronics prices are going up the roof, secondly he has already remove spending on who that and is stopping all medical funding, HIV drugs are going to be beyond the reach of an African man, vaccines for immunization like pollio are going to become unaffordable for the poor in Africa, then you are going to be seeing more Bambiala in Nigeria, even you are a beneficiary of the free polio vaccines and if you have children already they are also beneficiary of the same free immunization. So what will happen if your children come down with polio.

America is only a portion of the world's population. India and China are there to fill the gaps if things go soar. And you know what, they're also into tech. So, no country is indispensable. The same way Russia thought they're indispensable to EU because of their oil and gas, now they know better.

Most AIDS Antiretroviral medicines and most vaccines are produced in India, no? That's where they come from to Africa. How does Trump's decision affect that? It doesn't at all.

one thing nobody is paying attention to, post covid, USA through Quad and other groupings was pushing this idea of building supply chains independent of Chinese inputs at any stage. How does Trump's policy affect these initiatives? The others like India and Japan aren't just going to give up because USA stepped back. Or maybe USA won't step back, running both in tandem. Remains to be seen.

I understand your main point, that is US aid is important, I won't deny it. But your claim that India did not step up during Covid 19 is a blatant lie.

India entirely on it's own researched a covid vaccine called Covaxin and gifted 5 Million of these vaccine doses to 98 countries ahead of time to ensure they could vaccinate their healthcare workers thereby stopping the collapse of healthcare manpower, which would have led to the collapse of those countries' effort of fighting covid. This is the same vaccine that modi himself took.
Furthermore, India donated 52 million doses of Covax covid 19 vaccine through the COVAX initiative. Nigeria alone got around 9 or 10 million doses from that for free.

So kindly stop arguing that India did not step up. USA was hoarding vaccine supplies when India was donating its own.

Yes produced in India by American companies and heavily subsidized to Africa mostly for free by the US. so if the remove subsidy the price will sky rocket, so how many people in Africa do you think will be able to afford it at a very high price, lets assume one of the drugs start selling for like N3M and they have to take the drugs everyday to remain healthy, think about it will that not be a form of population control for Africa, because there will definitely be a lot of HIV/AIDS related death in Africa and our population will go down. Maybe a good one for TRump anyone, because I have not seen where our population has ever favored us.

Just use that to compare with USA that has been doing charity works for decades now in almost every country on planet earth dude India it's battling with poverty at is highest with its growing population can never step up to the level of USA dnt mention China because me and u knows that those ones are more concerned about its people warfare than others...
