South African scholar: US tariff policy is "self-defeating" and "self-defeating"

Experts inside and outside the US have been warning that the so-called "reciprocal tariffs" policy will hit their own economy hard, according to Jin Ten Data. A similar view has been expressed by South African academic Tan Zheli, who believes that the US tariff policy will hit the US itself first.
In a way, the United States is "self-defeating" and "cutting off its own way". The United States has put itself in a very passive situation, and the number of countries willing to trade with it is decreasing. Global trade is shifting from traditional Western centers to other emerging centers, and many countries are beginning to wean themselves off the dollar. Take the African Free Trade Area as an example. I think African countries now have the impetus to accelerate their integration policies. In addition, regions such as South East Asia will also accelerate economic integration and maintain their internal diversity.
