Ian explains how the White House’s unilateral trade policies are undermining trust, destabilizing allies, and redefining America’s role in the global economy:
“The American president is deglobalizing the world’s still-most powerful country and with it, the global economy.”
From tariffs on steel and semiconductors to… bathroom cabinetry, Ian highlights both the absurdity and the danger of Trump’s economic nationalism and what it means for the world’s trading system.
Watch this subclip from Tokyo for his analysis on US trade policy, global reliability, and the unraveling of globalization itself.

Correction: Trump's tariffs are decoupling the US economy from the global economy. Globalization is still here—just avoiding the US.
Such a theatrical delivery that it comes across as cringy… and reading off notes doesn't help! 🙄
won't be long now till: 'where's Ian?'…..he hasn't been seen for months……never seen again……others will suffer the same…..Palantir…..will track,
and the Proud Boi Re-habilitation Squad will do 'away' with those who 'bad mouth' the administration……right?
Japan should join China and fadck America!

This whole debacle has taught the world what american voters are like.
