Too much of the popular economics news paints an economically adversarial picture between the US and other countries of the world.
Aside from the obvious issue that all economies are tied together because economic behavior doesn’t like to be restricted by arbitrary boundaries, the US economy is unbelievably larger than other countries.
3x bigger as measured by stock market capitalizations.
And by some measures, just US Exports are larger than the GDP of some countries.
It’s always nice to reset perspective.
