From what I've seen in the news and my layman's opinion, in theory the Trump administration is trying to stop the escalation of the debt by forcing a general brake on the entire world so that people can once again focus on the dollar. So much so that they tried to negotiate the imposed tariffs and they didn't accept it. They want the tariffs removed and even compensation for the time they imposed tariffs on American products, as if that were possible. Until the great reset happens, this is the closest we'll get to what seemed like its beginning.
