"Boss, was you busy last night, so busy that you didn't have time to connect to the phone, take it easy!" Marcas called early in the morning.

"Uncle You, tell me, what's going on, so anxious to find me?" Wu Chen felt that he had a little backache.

"The U.S. government has announced tariffs of up to 30 percent on imported steel and aluminum to protect its industry from threats and treat the expropriated parties without discrimination. Canada, Australia and Western European countries have strongly protested against this, and the EU has decided to take countermeasures, which will involve commodities such as daily necessities, household appliances and food. ”

"Fighting a trade war is a big move involving fundamental interests, but also a strategic decision at the national level, the federal government's commercial department believes that the United States uses tariff barriers to restrict steel and aluminum, the main object is to sanction Western Europe, is to force it to comply, but also to protect European interests and the security of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's just that the two sides haven't torn their faces and can't take action openly. ”

"Through the data, we can know that the import and export relationship between the United States and Western Europe is unbalanced, and the amount of exports from Western European countries to the United States is high, while the amount of American exports to Western Europe is low, which also proves that the United States is not afraid of a trade war with Western European countries."

"Since the United States wants to suppress Western European countries at the economic level, the tariff barriers of steel and aluminum are only the first step, and more actions will definitely be taken to implement tariff barriers on more commodities to force Western Europe to return to the original track."

"The goods of Western European countries are unsalable, it is inevitable to find new customers to digest, and at the same time will provide additional preferential policies, the member countries of the Golden Triangle Federal Organization for International Cooperation are fully able to digest these commodities, and give Western European countries a big favor, which is called sending charcoal in the snow, the key is to fall into the benefits." Marcas said.

"You can't look at things like this, this is an opportunity for us but also a risk, the trade war has not had a big impact on us, this kind of major high-end industrial products, their own national construction is not enough, and they will not be exported at all."

"If Western European countries take countermeasures against the United States, the United States will inevitably look for alternatives, and we all know who is the strongest manufacturing country at the moment? Japan and South Korea, of course, that's a fact. As soon as the two sides went to war, the snipe and the clam competed for the fisherman's profit, and we worked so hard to do so many actions, but we made a wedding dress for Japan and South Korea, and this result was something I didn't want. ”

"In fact, the United States is beating rabbits with grass, and while dealing with Western European countries, it has also piggybacked on countries such as Canada and Australia, including Brazil and other countries, and these countries rich in mineral resources have important cooperation with the Golden Triangle Federation. Wu Chen said with a smile.

Adopting a trade war is also a double-edged sword, and if you don't do it well, you will cut yourself, but the United States has the conditions to win as a support, and it does not rely on the Western European market. The key point is that the goods imported by the United States are high-end industrial products except for luxury goods, which are not pillar industries, and they can find alternatives, so they are not worried about being subject to too many restrictions.

On the contrary, Western European countries are important producers of high-end industrial products, and the United States is a very important consumer country, and from this point of view, it is difficult to compete with the United States, and the huge interests of the market are enough for the capitalists of Western European countries to influence the government's decision-making.

"Damn the U.S. government, they are really calculating, this is a typical killing of chickens to show monkeys, in this way to remind those allies that only cooperation with the United States is the right choice, because you can get the greatest benefits."

"But this time it's shooting itself in the foot, and the governments of Australia and Canada are now busy dealing with the siege of parliament, and if the U.S. decision leads to a large number of workers in the smelting industry losing their jobs, it may not necessarily be a yield, it may be a serious confrontation." Marcas said.

The goods exported by the Golden Triangle Federation to the United States are mainly light industrial products, such as food processing, clothing, home appliances, electronic equipment, etc., and the other is minerals mined from various countries.

The world-renowned and extremely powerful shipbuilding, aerospace, and electro-optical fields of the Golden Triangle Federation are mainly reflected in the military industry, but the United States itself is a major arms exporter and does not need to purchase goods from other countries at all.

"The United States and the European Union are the world's first and second largest economies, and we can only choose to wait and see if we can get some advantage from this level of confrontation. I was hoping that these two sides would fight to the death, but such hope is just a fantasy at the moment, and the time is not yet ripe. ”

"I think the reason why the U.S. government wants to start a trade war this time is not a real move, but a warning strategy, a test for Western European countries, a test for mercenaries, and a test for all allies."

"After my plan, the US government has become a frightened bird, and I don't believe that there are real allies in the world, and even Western European countries and Israel can unite to dig holes, so how much trust is there in this world?" Wu Chen said lightly.

In fact, the countries of Western Europe do not want to turn their faces with the United States right now, the foundation of their independent defense system has not yet been laid, the opposition is still very strong, and the preparations are still far from being made. In addition, Britain has always followed the United States, which is a huge variable.

The U.S. government is also not prepared to enter a state of hostility with Europe, and there are three reasons that determine the nature of the operation.

First of all, the biggest enemies of the United States are Russia and China, and Russia is the first target, and at least this strategy will be maintained for a long time. If the two sides really turn their faces, then NATO will disintegrate, and the United States will not be able to use those resources of European countries.

Looking at the rest of the allies, Japan is a great threat to the United States, South Korea's strength can't help, it's hard to protect itself, and as for Australia and Canada, hey, don't say anything to help.

Second, after the disintegration of NATO, the image of the United States, a superpower, will collapse violently in the international arena, and its influence and status will decline by a large margin, and the Western European Union, the CIS, the Arab League, and other forces will take advantage of the rise of the situation.

Moreover, Europe is also an important market in the world, and the involvement of interests makes it impossible for the United States to give up Europe.

These are all old capitalist countries, and they are also the first countries to complete the process of industrialization, and their scientific research capabilities, industrial strength, and affluence are among the best in the world, and the manufacture of high-end industrial products can play a complementary role for the United States. 8)
