if March 4 was chosen as the date the tariffs take effect in order to let March 3 be the day of frantic negotiations to postpone them, does Trump/Vance outraging trading partners on Friday render it harder for them to deliver the pretend victories that Trump demands as pretext for postponement?

@interfluidity I think so. The China tariffs will go through for sure; there’s no “victory” China can sign on to here. And it feels like Canada won’t play ball either now that the Liberals have harnessed the anti-Trump sentiment so well. I don’t know about Mexico but those tariffs would, I think, be the most consequential if they actually happened.
