America has emerged....as an international laughingstock
MFN is already gone. It's no more. The MFN principle, which requires each member of the World Trade Organization to apply the same tariff rates for all its WTO trading partners (unless a free trade agreement is in force) is now no longer followed by the USA. Retaliation from many US trading partners would, in effect, mean the end of the MFN principle and mark the beginning of prolonged bilateral negotiations for country-specific tariff rates and implementation schemes. This is what we are seeing now. This was probably not in Trump's mind at all, however, if you think about it, if the US gets used to paying fair prices for products, rather than ludicrously low prices, that will mean that the market for these ultra-low priced products will not be as big anymore. To compete China et al may need to focus on quality rather than price. The end result could be a reduction in the merciless epxloitation of factory workers in Asia. It has a lot to do with Trump's policies because if prodcuts will be made in the US they will be far more expensive and consumers will have to pay higher prices, whether they like it or not. I would suspect that the US will tie keeping the Dollar as reserve currency and permission to devalue the dollar to trade negotiations. Other nations would get better access to the US market if they agree to these terms, and after all the US is still the richest and strongest economy in the world, so the dollar would be inherently more trustworthy than the decrepit Euro Zone Euro, the even more decrepit Yen or the Chinese fraud currency. -

Almost Refused Entry at Chiang Mai Airport -Be Warned! - 2nd Visa Exemption
Oh, absolutely—because nothing says “welcome” like being charged double for the same mango sticky rice, or being enveloped in a cloud of cannabis while navigating an outdated bureaucracy. If you're keen to delve deeper into the myriad reasons why Thailand's tourism charm is waning, here's a rather enlightening read -
