What if Japan & South Korea sided with China on US tariffs? | Ian Bremmer | World In :60

The most obvious issue is that most Asian countries are exoirters and overproduce via subsidies. They haven't gotten domestic consumption going

That's what they're doing now 😂😂😂😂😂

PETE HEGSETH NEEDS TO RESIGN NOW!!!!

Trump's a child playing with matches in a fireworks factory.

Ian Bremmer is the mouthpiece for globalist Europeans. His views are tilted toward progressive ultra left.

Yes. They will because the Americans attitude braking everything. Trump could not do this alone. People wanted to.

wow this just one good example of how western thinkers mis intepret and mis understand asian history and social norms.
Japan, Korea, China will never unite against whether it's US or else… its just totally wrong….

LOL not going to happen. What a ridiculously ignorant take. Thousands of years of fear, animosity and tension do not go away overnight. Korea’s quite fine trading with China but they know to their deepest core their security and future is with the U.S. And Japan’s anti-China sentiments are barely disguised. There is no pan Asian union. Quite the opposite, centuries of rivalries guarantee that the surrounding Asian countries will almost surely push back against China on fundamental issues affecting their future. Tariffs are an insignificant issue in comparison to security for Korea and Japan.

No, it’s NOT going to happen. PRC is the biggest security threat directly to S Korea and Japan. No security, no stability and no prosperity. Let alone the export and import among these countries mainly are not complementary.

National security interest always trump international trade matters. As China is the threat to national security for Japan, South Korea and most of Southeast Asia and Australia, There is exactly a 0% chance after we’re going to team together with China to oppose US trade policy.

The Greenland question matters because it opened up many in Europes eyes that our alliance with the US is over in reality even if its still ongoing on paper for now.

Japan & South Korea will not side with China on US tariffs ! However, all three countries ( as well as most other
countries ) will buy less and less from the US and trade much more outside of the US business circle !

Drumpf Tariffing many Countries at once is stupid. Only Canada and China puting partial retaliatory tariffs and boycotts on the US caused uncertainty. When the EU, UK, Mexico, SK, Japan and 20 other Countries are added America is vulnerable. Drumpf has destroyed 80 years of world order, trade and trust that made it rich. America Alone.

The question as to why the U.S. government wants to annex Greenland is relatively simple to answer. It is tied to why there is this massive push to annex Greenland right now. While Greenland has been a territory of Denmark for hundreds of years, it's population is on the verge of declaring independence from Denmark. Once this happens, they won't be a member of the E.U., nor will they be a member of NATO. They will be a brand new island nation which will need help to develop their infrastructure and to extract their resources for trade. It's obvious that China would be the best help on both of these two issues, and the U.S. has already felt threatened by Chinese mining companies wanting to operate in Greenland. So, the reason is this: the U.S. would rather attack and colonize Greenland, rather than allow the Greenlanders to democratically choose who they trade and partner with. It's not complicated, nor is it confusing.

Money and prosperity v.s. Military bases? I am not so sure, Ian. Come on, got better arguments 😅?

1) CN, JP & ROK aren't jointly responding but they are coordinating. CN state media announced a joint response but ROK threw cold water on it. So, it'll be a joint response but not acknowledged as such.
2) The US has attempted to acquire Greenland multiple times since the 1860s. Strategically it's important, especially the GIUK Gap, it also has resources to exploit – albeit ones that require extreme investment and would struggle to break even for decades – and it fits into a pattern of imperial territorial expansion.

Thank you.

Ian is so funny 😂

Yeah, the US is totally vulnerable. We're still spending over a trillion per year on our military (including interest expenses), and at this point our world credibility is shot. Trump imagines the US reindustrializing over this.

There's a next leg down for America, further deindustrialization after our auto industry fails and a century of American humiliation. You can't have two Bush terms and two Trump terms within the span of 25 years and expect a strong nation.

😂I'm loving all of this, because this way the whole world will see who Trump is, and more, what the United States of America is. Now we can see how harmful America is to the rest of the world. By fighting against selfish American politics, I see signs of a better world.

No one refuses money, except Nowadays USA.

Facts I was saying the same thing like what’s really going in Greenland it’s just a big empty space

THE U.S IS BASICALLY TRYING TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT TO SIGN ANOTHER PLAZA ACCORD CALLED THE MAR LARGO ACCORD..THIS IS THE PLAN. THE U.S WANTS ITS VASSALS TO DESTROY THEIR ECONOMIES, ENGAGE IN CURRENCY MANIPULATION, RAISE THE VALUE OF THEIR CURRENCY, DEVALUE THE DOLLAR AND MAKE AMERICAN EXPORTS MORE AFFORDABLE AND COMPETITIVE GLOBALLY..THEY ALSO WANT TO MAKE ALL AMERICAN VASSALS TO BUY 100 YEAR BONDS THAT WILL NOT MATURE FOR 100 YEARS. BUT TRUMP DOES NOT WANT TO LOSE THE DOLLARS GLOBAL RESERVE CURRENCY STATUS EITHER.. ONLY AN IDIOT WILL DESTROY THEIR OWN ECONOMIES TO SAVE THE U S ECONOMY. ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

I don’t think the Greenland thing will blow over. I don’t think the Trump presidency will blow over. We’re stuck with it until he dies, unfortunately.

They just agreed to a deal…
