As I have pointed out before on this board, Trump has fallen into the classic Prisoner's Dilemma:
It's not the prisoner's dilemma, because the threat to the US is not the same as the threat to other countries.
It's a game of chicken, but the US is driving an Escalade, and Canada for example is driving a smart car. A head on collision may mess up the US economy's paint job, but Canada's economy will be dead. The US is bargaining from a much stronger position.
Trump will get some concessions, and everything will be fine, because the alternative for the smaller countries is really devastating.
