Vietnam's offer of reciprocal zero tariffs between them and USA is not going to work and will fail miserably. It is no point for Vietnam to kiss Trump's arse, knowing that Vietnam is basically an extension of China's manufacturing reach outside the mainland. To agree to a zero tariff defeats all the purpose of those tariffs, whose main objective is countering China and its investment worldwide.
Mexico is also not going to succeed in negotiations with the USA over tariffs. Trump is now raising another issue to cloud the negotiations, claiming that Mexico is not supplying enough water from the Rio Grande to USA farmers under an agreement, and he will not compromise on his tariff threat if water supply by Mexico is not according to the agreed level. This is all knowing that China has big investments in Mexico which Trump is targeting.
All the talk about countries negotiating with the USA are basically nothing more than going to see these countries getting insulted while masquerading as negotiating, with the USA making all the talking and demands and stuffing them down the throats of the arse lickers. Trump will ask them 'Does my arse smell nice and 'kiss baby kiss' LOL. How many countries does not have any Chinese investments that could therefore escape the tariffs?

Trump is losing his sanity not being able to force Xi to give him a call to negotiate, which he will later be using to boast that Xi backed down and also has to kiss his arse like everyone else. No joke, he will twist it to his benefit as all other USA clowns are also doing.
The irony is that the sycophants in Trump's administration are, like him, still boasting that Xi will have to come to the negotiating table at 'some point in time'. In the meantime, Trump is now about to backtrack on tariffs for the Auto Industry in the USA, which needed parts from trade partners. Xi does not need to negotiate, as Trump will be backtracking day after day.
On the other hand, Trump wants to end tariff exemption on pharmaceuticals, which will decimate big Pharma that depended largely on China for the raw materials and ingredients needed for the manufacture of drugs. Big Pharma in USA had been making obscene big money on drugs sourced from China, rebranded and resold at huge profits in the USA. Big Pharma had been ripping off USA citizens and the rest of the world for decades and this might just wake them up. Perhaps this will really tell USA citizens to take action regarding the high cost of healthcare in the USA.
It would have been a distant possibility and hope by the USA about negotiating with China, but that mindless comment by Trump about countries going to 'kiss his arse' is humiliation on top of injury, destroying all possibility of Xi calling him now. Further, the equally mindless comment by J. G. Vance of the USA borrowing money from 'Chinese peasants' to buy products made by them is the straw that broke the camel's back.
Now the joke is on the USA, with the Chinese making videos using AI to hit back. There were many such videos flooding social media, with one showing Trump, Musk, Vance and other administration officials working in a shoe factory busily handling shoes. Another video shows Trump sewing garments in a factory, looking glum. Others show big fat USA workers sewing clothes in a garment factory. I could not help laughing at the ingenuity of the Chinese vloggers. This is what bringing manufacturing back to the USA is all going to be about, but that is just for laughs. The reality is that job creation is just not going to happen, as automation and robotics partnering AI have already replaced humans in factories in China and the EU.
After humiliating those that are negotiating with him, Trump may come out to brag saying we had a 'beautiful negotiation on my terms' and it was a 'wonderful victory for us' and 'Xi is missing all the goodies'.
But one advice to those negotiating is to believe in the opposite. Never come out of any negotiation with the USA without coming out with a bleeding arse.
When American gangsters brag about negotiating from strength, it means they carry a big stick into the room and will clobber you if you don't agree.
The only person that stood up against Dotard and remained unscathed must be Kim Jong Un. Kim Jong Un in fact played Trump around like a violin and in the process enjoyed his holidays in Singapore and Vietnam that he would otherwise not have the opportunity.
Trump must have realized that Kim Jong Un is more unpredictable than him and backed off.
After backtracking on laptops and electronics, Trump still insists he has not changed his mind but is 'flexible'. What is he talking about? Word salad? Meanwhile the sycophants in his administration are really finding it difficult to spin, as they have run out of direction to spin.
