Over the course of today, our correspondents will answer their questions about Trump management and their first 100 days in office here in the UK, the USA and all over the world.

The first of which comes from Craig in Glasgow, who asks Why – when the USA imposed such high tariffs – we don't just stop acting with them? Here is my answer:

The amount that the United States sells to the rest of the world corresponds to more than 10% of its annual income or GDP. The refusal to buy Americans would avoid this economy a paralyzing blow.

But think about what the USA is selling: It is one of the largest manufacturers of soybeans for animal feed and an important provider of oil – staple foods that are not easily replaced. Some of the more demanding objects they manufacture are also not aircraft parts and machines.

In addition, the Americans still make about 1 US dollar (75 pence) in all six that are spent by consumers worldwide – for many industries in countries around the world, catastrophic, in Germany, pharmaceutical companies in Great Britain, electronics manufacturers in China and textile in Bangladesh, to name some.

Nevertheless, the Trump trade wars have prompted the countries to fill themselves, to develop other trading partners and markets. But things like that take time – and it can still mean that consumers affect a higher price.
