Trump's Tariff Mystery: Who Was Really Calling the White House?

This video delves into the confusing signals surrounding the Trump administration's tariff policies. The White House, including its spokesperson, repeatedly claimed their "phones were ringing off the hook" with calls from countries urging the US to lower tariffs on their exports.

However, identifying which countries were making these calls proved difficult. While rumours circulated about potential delegations from nations like Zimbabwe and perhaps Israel engaging in negotiations, the administration subsequently paused tariffs for approximately 70 other countries – many of which had apparently not initiated such discussions.

This raises a crucial question, highlighted by journalists at the time: If the United States aimed to build alliances, particularly in countering China, why were its trade policies seemingly punishing potential partners? Let's explore this contradiction and the surrounding uncertainty.
