According to Donald Trump, a new party has emerged in the United States:"PANICAN," which supposedly includes "weak and stupid people." Specifically those who are nervous about the plummeting stock markets and the complete uncertainty in the future – both caused by his global tariffs. "Be strong, courageous, and patient, and greatness will be the result," the American president wrote on his Truth Social network. Still, the looming confrontation with China is unlikely to dispel doubts. Unpredictable months lie ahead.

Instead of offering signs of openness or a willingness to compromise, Trump on Monday, April 7, chose to demand the commercial surrender of his main rival, calling China "the biggest abuser of them all." This demand had no chance of happening, as this moment marks a high-stakes test of credibility and power for both countries.
