Nothing new, Trump must have been told they will stop sending his ties.

Trump's oh-so-obvious negotiating style is to threaten, via twitter, a target with the most unreasonably damaging scorched-earth consequences and then have the target surrender to his demands to mitigate the risk.(Oftentimes the demands aren't even articulated but only meant to be understood by the target).

Example:
"I have stated my concerns with Amazon long before the Election. Unlike others, they pay little or no taxes to state & local governments, use our Postal System as their Delivery Boy (causing tremendous loss to the U.S.), and are putting many thousands of retailers out of business!"

In other words, direct the Washington Post to cease negative coverage of ME or I could make things difficult for you.

For Trump this worked on his tenants, suppliers, building operators, etc... because of the enormous leverage he yielded. And so confident in the success of this persuasive tactic that there's no backup plan. From the first to the last chapter of the art of the deal is the threat. That's it!

But he's no longer dealing with the retired renter or the small-business supplier. He's dealing with the European Union, China, multi-Billion dollar corporations, and the Department of Justice. Targets with the leverage to call his bluff.

I thought Trump was against globalism, and was all about American exceptionalism?

So, trump opens his cheese hole complaining about American companies and they lose business. Too bad.

But when he talks a foreign company into failure it is now the burden of the American taxpayers to get them back on their feet?

WTF?
