HOW TO CONTAIN AMERICA: 1) Get Mexico to hate US 2) Leave TPP, pushing 11 Pacific Rim countries towards China 3) Alienate Europe 4) Install steel and aluminum tariffs, hurting relations with Canada and South Korea, and possibly creating US v. everyone trade war 5?) End NAFTA
I think they're just screwing it up, out of a misguided belief that international trade is zero-sum, and a failure to understand that a significant part of America's strength comes from alliances. But if someone wanted to contain America, this would be a great way to do it.
