One development to watch is that China, Japan, South Korea are reportedly planning to team up together to jointly respond to Trump's tariffs (excerpt below). If true, it would be ominous to see Japan moving closer to China, and South Korea doing the same. BRICS expansion is bad enough (for the US), but if the US loses Japan to BRICS, we're in deep trouble. Same with Europe. Macron of France has wanted to attend the last several BRICS conferences (2023, 2024), and Trump has been alienating Europe bigtime on multiple levels. Chasing our few remaining allies into the arms of BRICS is extremely dangerous for continued US world dominance, the US dollar reserve system, etc.
>>> Worldwide retaliation to Trump’s plan has already been promised with nations like China, Japan, and South Korea even making plans to team up and jointly respond to Trump’s move. <<<
