I wish an action like this would actually change things in the US, but it wouldn’t.
The American people would continue to suffer and die–the most vulnerable and already marginalized first. Conservatives will get more hostile toward everyone else because of scarcity. They’ll start shooting people at Wal-Mart over bread.
The rich will just white-knuckle grip their off shore bank accounts and move elsewhere.

I suspect it is as much to insulate themselves from the chaos the US is causing as it is to punish or harm the Americans directly.
Oh, I completely get that. I just wish that such a near-global response to American hostility would result in a wake-up call.
