The Dane-Geld Dilemma: US's Push to Influence other countries' National Policies

[SBlue]

If you pay the Dane-geld, you never get rid of the Dane." This old saying perfectly fits Trump's push for China-linked nations to impose secondary tariffs on Chinese imports. It may seem like a bold move, but it risks setting a dangerous precedent, once a country follows such demands, more pressure could follow. With 3.8 years left in his presidency, Trump will keep returning with new demands, using tariff threats as leverage. Future U.S. leaders may adopt the same approach, turning this into a long-term strategy. What will other Nations will do in their response? Will this lead to an era where economic blackmail becomes the norm?
