I think many countries are sick and tired of Trump's nonsense of imposing tariffs, walking back next, give a timeline, reimpose those tariffs and possibly walking back when the shit hits the fan. Is this what he called his 'Art of the Deal'?
Countries must never be lured into a false sense of security and fall into Trump's conman game, knowing this is his forte. Remember his six bankruptcies and it will be better for everyone. China knows what game Trump is playing and is now prepared to fight 'any kind of war'. What is the message?
Trump is like a headless cockroach, not knowing which direction to turn and making decisions on the spur of the moment, having to follow his dishing out of 'word salads' that are sometimes unintelligible. Talk about Kamala Harris, the master of inventing 'word salads' to confuse and to wriggle out of difficult situations. As an example, how could Zelenskyy be designated a dictator one day and the next day becomes a great leader following orders, which just boggles the mind.
Great leaders do not go back on the words that come out of their mouths. Doing so is a sign of weakness, according to the late Lee Kuan Yew. They are not kids playing kid's game. They are leaders whose words must be credible to be trustworthy. Not making decisions that swayed from one direction to the next like bamboos swaying with the wind.

Trump is clearly mentally sick, unable to think rationally. The real unelected President is a de facto Nazi, clearly evident, nothing more. Together, President un-elect Elon Musk and first lady Trump are tearing the USA apart, Trump is doing the external damage with alienating close allies like Canada and the EU, while Musk is doing the internal damage of antagonizing workers in Federal jobs, Aid agencies, FBI and even the Pentagon. He risks losing his life in the process. Musk is not indispensable as he seems to think, and not even elected to office, which even popular John F. Kennedy could not be spared going against the Deep State.
Suffice to say, without the fear of sanctions, tariffs and veiled threats of 'You are either with US or against US', many more countries would be deserting in their support of the USA. This is the reality, and the USA is still believing in their 'might is right' doctrine, playing hardball against everyone.
The USA thinks it is the overlord of the whole world, and everyone must bow down to its bullying. Qatar just issued this warning that if the USA and Israel attacks Iran's nuclear facilities, the Persian Gulf would be without potable water for good. Of course, the Persian Gulf will always have all the seawater, but to put it more accurately, the fallout of the nuclear strike will contaminate all the drinking water resources in the region, leading to a catastrophe that is unimaginable. Qatar and all the Arab countries around the Gulf would be affected and oil prices will go into the stratosphere. What will that mean for inflation around the world?
Iran is multiple times stronger militarily than Iraq or Afghanistan. Twenty years of 'mission accomplished' does little for the USA to gain control of Iraq to install a democratic Government. The country is still in a volatile stage. Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds are still fighting for power. This is what a regime change can do to a country, with Iraqi citizens now regretting giving support to the USA and destroying the country.
At least the Taliban in Afghanistan is doing a better job, albeit with opposition groups still creating trouble. When it comes to bringing democracy to Iran with a regime change, that is a pipe dream that only the USA and Israel is thinking and wanting to control.
Trump seems just playing 'masak masak' with everyone.
