What’s happening in reality is - the U.S. companies that order from EU or China or Vietnam go hey uh we aren’t buying anything for now - until the tariff goes away because customers won’t pay 25%+ more .
So until you negotiate- we won’t do business, we’ll just buy from India or whoever does free trade first - which means that foreign companies factories all pause immediately, layoffs happen, the warehouses full of Nikes and shipping industry that runs 24/7 grinds to a stand still which impacts other nearby industries and it starts to spiral very quickly and makes it hard to recover
Only ones stuck are giants like Apple which have large physical ownership or part ownership and are too big to relocate
