I’ll answer your favourite question as the others are a bit silly - “Who is going to pay the debt reduction?”.
Surely this is obvious, every country that wants to export to the US. This nonsense that the American consumer is going to pay the tariff because the exporters will refuse so the Americans will end up paying more for the same product. This is simply untrue because they know America has the highest economy in the world and they want to tap into that at all costs. The same here but in a much smaller scale, Woolworths and Coles make the highest profit for any department store in the world, the reason is simple, the majority of the population shop there, and that’s why they can get away with paying, say, the likes of farmers a scandalous pittance for their merchandise because the farmers know they have no option if they want to stay in business.
