Minus China's big market and now minus India, and minus African countries, what chances are there for USA manufacturers and farmers to compete successfully elsewhere? 4.2 billion of world population live in China, India and countries in Africa. That is half the global population without taking in countries like Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Brazil, also with big population totaling another billion but also big agricultural countries themselves. These are BRICS or potential BRICS countries.
Farming growth and expansion in USA is moving in the opposite direction. Trump is even forcing other countries to buy USA farm products like soya, corn and beef, a desperate move, more like using hands around their necks to force them to comply. That is how desperate he is and under tremendous pressure from farmers. Most of Trump's supporters and MAGA base are farmers, and the consequence of his trade war is now affecting their livelihood very badly.

Trump said that he is not concerned about China and Russia forming a new front against the USA. Oh yes, not concerned but trying to split the duo but failing to bring down Russia and afraid to put more pressure on China. Not concerned but threatening BRICS with 100% tariffs, knowing BRICS is the brainchild of Putin and Xi. Now, what else have Putin and Xi been talking about in privately in Tianjin? Trump must be anxious to know, but nowhere to get the news. Now we have North Korea Kim also inside the front.
The SCO meeting had a trio of Putin, Xi and Modi, laughing together and probably talking about someone sulking. The Victory Day parade will feature another trio of Putin, Xi and Kim. These are all Trump's friends before, but why is he not invited? The more Trump wants attention, the more some countries will care two hoots about him. Trump is now an outcast. The only support he now has is from the Anglo-Saxon clique.
Oh, by the way Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is reported to be going to Beijing to attend the Victory Day Parade after all. That shows how important China is to Indonesia.
Xi presented Modi with a Hongqi L5, China's state car for VVIPs.
