You never realized what 'bald-faced liars' the USA leaders are and how they could lie thinking that nobody really pays attention. When those reciprocal tariffs were trotted out in early April, Trump was gloating about 200 countries queuing up to 'kiss his arse'. Now, it has been reported that his Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, another prolific liar, is trying to cover Trump's kissing arse lie with another lie that Trump did not say that. Are they adults or children?
What about the earlier gloating by Trump that 200 countries out of the existing 195 were queuing up to kiss his arse. Trump does not even know how many countries there are in this world. Among them only two have been reported to have made deals with the USA - UK and Vietnam. And all that was what he achieved after three months of gloating? The fact that he is now shifting his deadline shows he is losing leverage. And the fact that he is sending out a few demand letters for a start shows that the gloating about 200 countries queuing up to negotiate were all blatant lies. I wonder whether letters of demand have also been sent to the penguins, LOL. Did the MSM reported any penguins landing in Washington to negotiate? I am sure they could not miss that great news.
The most interesting part of the circus is just unfolding, with USA consumers being hit hard by expensive goods. What is even worse is the dire state of the USA farmers, having no big market to absorb their produce that has to be harvested soon. Which is why Trump is trying to force countries like India to buy more of USA agricultural produce, which is going to kill off Indian farmers if successful. Trump is also targeting Brazil, that has now captured the Chinese market for its agricultural products. That 50% tariff on Brazil is all planned to cripple the Brazilian economy, after its agricultural sector took over the China market from USA farmers.
India better wakes up fast over what the USA is forcing it to do to import more USA foodstuffs, even trying to force India to buy USA beef, in a move that is sure to antagonize the Hindu fanatics. BRICS is where India belongs to, not the G7 and that should tell India where its loyalty lies.

Marco Rubio is on a tour of ASEAN, to reassure ASEAN leaders that they still have the USA's commitment in the region despite being hit by the tariffs. Now that is really reassuring. That this is the USA style of diplomacy, which Winston Churchill would have winced if he were still alive.
What kind of commitment would the USA give ASEAN and in what sense? Get ready to fight China with the USA behind their backs? ASEAN leaders should know better who is more reliable in buttering their bread. When the USA's interest in using them against China is gone, under the bus they will go. Those tariffs should also tell ASEAN leaders it is time to upgrade strategic and economic co-operation with China, the Global South, and in particular BRICS countries, in order to move their economy forward. The tariffs will stifle their exports to the USA and the consequence does not need explaining.
With the USA trying to cripple ASEAN, to force the group to reorientate its relations with China towards the USA, increasing tariffs is not the way to do it. But I guess the USA has no more rope to hold on and is using punishment as a last resort to change the geopolitical landscape.
How ludicrous can it be when the USA is planning to cripple ASEAN with huge tariffs, aiming to eat the group's breakfast, lunch and dinner and telling them the USA has their interest at heart. If Marco Rubio wants to lie, he has to wear a clown's mask to avoid ridicule. All USA leaders are plain 'bald face liars' that I think the whole world has now come to accept.
RE "All USA leaders are plain 'bald face liars' that I think the whole world has now come to accept."
This points to a bigger reality than the simplistic 'the corrupt leaders are the problem' a fake narrative nearly everyone loves to propagate ...
The fact that evil lying people rule is only ONE part of the equation. The pack of leading criminals do not operate in a vacuum, and never have. There are 2 destructive human pink elephants in the room and they are MARRIED --- study the free essay “The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room”... https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html
The criminals in power are in those positions and do what they do ONLY because of the mostly willful activities, or inactivities, of the majority of self-entitled "decent" or "good" or "awake" or "religious" people --- the 90-95% of the herd --- and because they do NOT really want the truth but comforting fantasies.
“Our current ‘state’ is the dictatorship of evil. We know that already, I hear you object, and we don’t need you to reproach us for it yet again. But, I ask you, if you know that, then why don’t you act? Why do you tolerate these rulers gradually robbing you, in public and in private, of one right after another, until one day nothing, absolutely nothing, remains but the machinery of the state, under the command of criminals and drunkards?” --- from a White Rose Pamphlet, the 'White Rose' was a German resistance group fighting Hitler's Nazi regime
Isn't it about time for anyone to wake up to the ULTIMATE DEPTH of the human rabbit hole --- rather than remain blissfully willfully ignorant in a narcissistic fantasy land and play victim like a little child?
Of course it is but...
"The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduces them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim." --- Gustave Le Bon, in 1895
Without a proper understanding, and full acknowledgment, of the true WHOLE problem and reality, no real constructive LASTING change is possible for humanity.
And if anyone does NOT acknowledge, recognize, and face (either wittingly or unwittingly) the WHOLE truth THEY are helping to prevent this from happening. And so they are "part of the problem" and not part of the solution.
