Doesn't even have to be cutting everything and that's also not that easy but I also always think it would be so much easier not to get blackmailed on a daily basis if they just would work together against this constant aggression. Sure, they all have a trade surplus with USA (at least only counting physical goods and not digital ones) so that everyone fears to suffer more as USA and that's the reason why USA can blackmail so easily with economical consequences but if USA fucks up their trade with plenty of countries while those countries only fuck up their US trade, then it would pretty fast look really bad for USA as well. USA also doesn't want to see US companies going downwards on the stock market. All those US billionaires and multi millionaires losing half their net worth? Damn...
But politicians are so focused to always think about the next elections that they all never have the balls to do what is needed even if that would also hurt the own economy for some years so that all those people who just don't see the big picture will vote another party.
I would have a party if EU, Canada, Mexico and many more countries would meet without USA to build a plan how to push back but that won't really happen.
