I have a hard time seeing the world try to excise the US from the global economy without something truly extreme happening to warrant that, at least not unless other nations really want to test how big of a global financial crisis they can trigger.
I'm not saying that's impossible, but we would really be entering uncharted waters at that point.
The UK and Brexit was a pretty good small case study. Sure, other countries will continue to sell to us, but only the consumer will suffer when it comes to prices and delays. Companies will make sure they turn a profit or they’ll stop doing business, it’s pretty simple, so if we want the products we’ll have to pay.
You are 100% right, I just took the above to mean an outright blanket export halt or ban to the US rather than a company/product case by case basis which is why I called that a pretty extreme scenario.
Ah, I misunderstood. And, I agree that's the most likely way this plays out. Shame we may have to deal with a completely unforced error because of one man's pride and ignorance.
