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.
Nope the total opposite Trump will cave

And no sane country will accept it
