An excerpt:

Regardless of what the US administration's purpose of tariff moves is — and there needs to be an assumption that it has one — anger and confusion remain front and center in capitals all over the world. One can hope that it will listen to words of a Chinese official, who said the US needs to "promote a steady, sound and sustainable development of China-US relationship".

Canadian officials would happily insert their country into that statement. So, too, would representatives from Mexico, South Korea, Brazil, the EU and so on. Will the US administration listen? Come to think of it, does it care?
