The key to translating Trump language is to understand noise and signal. The tariff signal, if you want to call it that, is a negotiating leverage tool because Trump commands the largest market on Earth. There’s no market larger than the United States.

Do what you said you were going to do or you’re going to face a wicked barrier to come into the world’s largest market and it’s going to affect your economy. I heard it loud and clear.
