Bid to force decoupling from China is only serving to decouple the US

It is not a secret that the US administration is preparing to put pressure on other countries in tariff negotiations, asking them to limit trade with China in exchange for US tariff exemptions.

Something the previous Joe Biden administration tried to do, but failed to achieve, as it is a de facto getting something for nothing trick, since the United States cannot compensate its allies and partners for their losses should they decouple with China.

So it is ridiculous of the Donald Trump administration to bet on a magic wand of tariffs since countries are well aware that under the guise of "reciprocity", it is promoting hegemonic politics and implementing unilateral bullying in the economic and trade fields.
