Is it wise to defeat the U.S. economically? How much of the rest of the world's economic activity depends on a moderately healthy U.S. economy?

We import $1,900,000,000,000.00 worth of goods a year. That's 12.9% of all the goods traded in the world. How long would the disruption of that economic factor impact the world economy? We export 12.7 % of all the goods traded in the world, again how long for that economic disruption to get absorbed?

Defeating the U.S. economically might be cutting off ones nose to spite ones face.

speaking as a Canadian , America's largest trading partner , we all wish for a strong , healthy American economy , which is why it is definitely concerning the route your country has taken politically of late .
