Hey Marty,
first off, I can’t watch MSNBC where I currently live. You keep referring to that news channel when you respond to my posts. I’d love to hear how they describe this issue.
Of course, people from outside the US see news like this a bit differently than the Americans. Apparently, there will be no new deals until this thing is solved. All the countries that agreed on a deal are planning their next steps if the tariffs are declared illegal.

4 trillion $, wow. That would be a lot of money that they would have to give back to the companies and importers that paid the extra money to import those products. I have no idea how they would return the money because a lot of it was paid by the American people when they bought those higher priced foreign products.

For your information: that suit against the tariffs was filed by red and blue States. I think you refer to them as Trump adversaries.

Like you said, nobody knows how this will end. That is exactly why other countries view this as being chaotic. I acknowledge, that you say there is no chaos. Apparently this is totally normal with Trump as President.
