            &lt;p&gt;Trump is using tariffs and trade threats to bully other countries in order to maintain US global power. Even though existing trade rules were shaped by US corporations, recently this hasn't been enough to guarantee US dominance, so Trump is turning to brute force.&lt;/p&gt;

            &lt;p&gt;A big reason for signing a trade agreement is to get certainty on tariff levels, and if the U.S. can raise tariff levels above the bound rate for geopolitical reasons, that certainty is lost to some degree and the trade agreement is much less valuable.&lt;/p&gt;
