147 countries import oil from Iran. Whether the idiot in chief could name even one of them is debatable, but it does include a significant number of supposed US allies.
Weirdly low tariff. When Trump is threatening some countries with 500% tariffs, it is absurd to think this low tariff means anything. It looks a lot more like capitulation. My feeling is that Trump is weak on China, and for suspicious reasons.
A lot of economic activity tanks in the USA if China is treated too harshly. Manufacturing has actually gone down since Trump took office largely because of his tariffs.
We must make America great at competing with Vietnam again! A great leap backward! Lower the value of the dollar so the American worker will be motivated to do menial work greatly and cheaply.

Because the US economy is more fragile than most would care to admit, and China could wreck a not insignificant percentage of it overnight.
