The actual nuclear option is denying the yanks all those products that hidden champions produce, that you can’t get anywhere else, where the situation is very one-sided.
Last time around though it sufficed to do targeted sanctions, seemingly nonsensical stuff like motor cycles and peanut products. See you have a look at where Trump’s backers have their electoral districts, what they produce and let’s just say Harley-Davidson still hasn’t recovered and the peanut butter in the supermarket down the street is still from the Netherlands. They switched suppliers back in the days and apparently saw no reason to switch back.
