The declining birthrate is directly tied to the economy. It's not that people aren't capable of having big families, it's that it's been made unaffordable to do so.

Picking a trade war with Canada, Mexico, China and major economics is a very bad idea. It will not bring anybody to the negotiation table to get a better deal. It will drive them away from US partnership and they form alliances, new trade routes and partnerships, de-dollarization, etc. Just think why does a country needs USD when they cannot trade with US. BRICS have overtaken G7 in the overall GDP. So, In the end, US will be left alone with limited trading partners. US people will need to pay for tax + tariffs which will put them in a downward spiral.
Detailed analysis of trade war economic consequences, tariff impacts, and currency/partnership implications.
