Trump discovers the US is no longer indispensable

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : US aid budgets have massively shrunk relative to China's, and the so-called Department of Government Efficiency has more or less closed down their last vestiges in the US Agency for International Development.
51% : Similarly, on EVs the EU is trying to integrate cutting-edge Chinese production into its domestic market.
49% : Since then the prospects for using the US market for leverage have shrunk, not just because of the secular decline in America's share of the global economy but because of the toxicity of trade agreements in Washington.
47% : The US does not have the aid, the technology or the market access to exert control over global trade the way it once did, and Trump's erratic behaviour is rapidly increasing the probability that it never will.
38% : But Congress held the agreement up before Trump pulled the US out altogether in 2017.
30% : In the global game of trade poker, Trump inherited a weakening hand and is playing it extremely badly.
