Except Trump uses tariffs to make better deals for America. Most other countries can't survive the short term of tariffs they would need to go through in order to, as you say, "call his bluff", while in the meantime, those countries need to eat the costs because people already ordered things for a set price that hasn't been sent yet. So the question is really, can those companies survive while their countries refuse to bend to Trumps other demands? Or will they fold because their own country depends on it? If they can, that's fine for that country, but most countries can't handle that.
