On second thought

It may sound cruel but I am waitng and watching. Just breaking the monotony of life.

The debts comes in the form of treasury bills. around 60% is/was release in America and the rest are/were released to other parts of the world. For the 60% treasury bills, most of them are/were taken by the major corporations. If you do not have a part of your assets as treasury bill, you are not patron to your country. The rest are to the American citizens. Not obliged to buy as a citizen. For the oversea version of the treasury bills, the overseas government purchase bulks of it, many of the corporations also buy them. The individuals plays a very small part of it. Trump wanted the bulks of the debts to be forceful forgiven. He can force it through but it will hurt everyone and no one will ever buy US debts again. Hence, he did not push this through for fear that he will be long gone before the debts. At least the US corporations will be sending their money to his opponents and none to him. Neither his plan to differ the bills to 100 years can be carried out as well. He also spoke about 100 years interest free treasury bills. No one take the bite. In short, he had no cards left to play in the treasury bills market. If he did what he planned, the t-bills market will collasped the next instance.

I am interested to know what will be the next step of those that are affected. With support from every one. Even the democrats have not liked it

@allknowing - He is bullying countries and blackmailing them if they do not accept his conditions. He forgets that countries can ask him to pay US debts. If this happens US will go bankrupt (as it did Argentina) and they will not be allowed to have money from other countries for years. This would be the largest financial disaster in history.

@allknowing - I thought the same, he is doing everything only to please his ego.

@allknowing Wishing everyone success in staying afloat during these challenging times. We all face similar dilemmas, and a shift in how the US government approaches things could lead to a better understanding for all. While it’s not right to wish harm on any nation, I believe we should focus on fostering peace and understanding—not through forceful means, but by creating logical, win-win solutions that allow everyone to coexist peacefully.

@rsa101 Trumps hunger for a nobel prize let him do this and he never thought of the repercussions when it comes to other countries

Resortintg to "more mature diplomacy" in the order of the day There has to be change in thought when it comes to dealing with countries that were hitherto out of bounds or not thought of Democratts have stepped in and condemn what Trump has done Exports from India have stopped and that will badly affect ameircan citizens.

Trump has helped countries to look for alternatives and they will succeed. American citizens will suffer.

@allknowing Indeed I pity the citizens. I really want to trade with them and work with them but the American politics make it not possible to do so.

That you will soon see.

@Mshafeeq It is temporary

@allknowing Waiting for it. You have to bear the repercussion

I would rather wait and watch than go by what you keep saying about nothing will affecrt the US

@allknowing How will this impact the United States? Explain that to me. lol

@allknowing Not my opinion at all. I gave you actual numbers. I think you are missing the point. What you are trying to argue here are semantics. GDP numbers are not semantics. They are actual numbers. What is also indisputable is that the United States is the world's strongest, leading economy, so when we are talking about trade deals and tariffs, no one has more strength in that argument than the United States does. The bottom line is that we are the world's largest consumer market, and if other countries want access to that... It happens on our terms, or you don't get access to it. Go to other countries to sell your stuff where you have a better chance of getting to call the shots. In this case, with the United States, India simply doesn't have the power to negotiate terms. We do. India is the 8th largest economy and it's seeming to want to pretend it's got more power than it does in this matter. It doesn't. One good example of what I am talking about here is, let's say I am a company who wants to put my product on Walmart's shelves. Who gets to determine the terms of that deal? Walmart. And if I want access to Walmart's shelves for my products, I have to play by Walmart's rules or I don't get to sell my product at Walmart. I have to make deals with smaller companies where I will have more power to negotiate better terms for myself. As part of that deal, Walmart might ask me to cut ties with a competing retailer. I can say no. And Walmart can say, "We won't sell your product, then." That's the equivalent of, "Please don't do business with Russia." It's not at all about bullying. It's about asserting actual power you rightly have. If India was the world's leading economy, it would do exactly the same thing Trump is doing. India at one time had a better chance of getting more of what it wanted because the U.S. was interested in cheap labor. Trump is interested in fortifying American labor, so that part of India's power is now absent. Where not interested in cheap labor. We're interested in fair trade and a more level playing field.
