Part 5/7:

Trump’s tactic involves initiating negotiations with a strong, uncompromising stance, often described as "shooting for the moon." By setting high initial demands, he aims to leverage better terms in subsequent negotiations. This strategy can sometimes be misunderstood or mocked, but supporters argue it is a calculated move to uphold American leverage.

Such negotiation tactics reflect Trump’s broader approach: making bold statements to set the tone and then working behind the scenes toward favorable deals. This method aims to ensure that the U.S. maintains its economic and geopolitical advantages, especially in vital locations like Panama.
