It’s not just what you negotiate—it’s how you set the table.

In business and politics alike, leverage starts with identifying the weakest link. That was Trump’s playbook—and it worked because it forced movement.We discussed how his strategy centered on:

→ Targeting China and key allies where the U.S. had negotiating power
→ Using direct pressure while also leveraging coalitions
→ Creating urgency and extracting concessions by threatening the status quo

Love him or hate him, the framework is worth studying:

🎯 Know where your leverage is
🎯 Apply pressure where it’s most likely to move the needle
🎯 Be prepared to weather short-term pain for long-term gain

Whether you’re managing trade, partnerships, or your next client negotiation—this lesson applies.
