The stubborn truth of this moment is this: Trump’s tariff wars are generating uncertainty, pockets of economic dislocation, an erosion of trust in the United States, and a more difficult environment for the provision of global public goods. They are also amplifying the risks inherent in China–U.S. competition. States might feel more resentful but they continue to operate within a security and economic order they cannot meaningfully escape. This paradoxically makes the world more dangerous, since Trump thinks he can engage in price discovery without risking major geopolitical alignment.
