Let’s hope that in the background countries and continental alliances are currently meeting behind closed doors to discuss collaborative strategies, including creating a new free trade zone, to counter US tariffs and bring Trump to the table - on their terms. Time is of the essence.
Individual attempts at negotiating trade deals - which will always be from a position of weakness - will come with no guarantee, we’ve seen how that worked out for Canada and Mexico with their earlier signed and sealed Trump deal. We all know there’s only way to respond to a facile bully. Courage.
Tariffs have always been around. Just never negotiated by bankrupt 34 count convicted felon traitor donald. Guess traitor donald did negotiate the current deal with Canada and Mexico. Most was already agreed upon before he got involved.
This bullshit would not even have earned him a gentleman's C in Macro during his nepo baby days at Wharton. Who helped him glue things on to the poster board for his project?
Cambodia, Bangladesh?!? Does anyone in the American administration know where these countries are. Slave labour garment factories supplying the never ending demand for fast fashion. Can't wait to see Americans working in the new garment factories going to be built across the rust belt.!
Anyone understand how this dumb feck administration came to these figures? The reciprocal tariff concept should be based on logic/fact but not a single thing in that administration is based on either of those concepts. The US is governed by dumb feckless incompetence in a reality tv hellscape.
Bezos just lost the whole Asian market to temu and very soon the European market and the African market. But hey at least he would still have fascism and racism to keep him happy
FOX News will protect their clown. Crypto coins are doing fine. The wealthy global oligarchy will buy it all back at a huge discount at the expense of dumb American citizens.
Trump loves to cause pain. He also loves revenge. I feel so sorry for the rest of the world. You shouldn’t have to suffer like this for a temper tantrum.
Seriously the stupidest man on Earth. If Canada makes starters for Chevy cars, Trump thinks Chevy will spend millions to build a US plant. Chevy will just pay the tariff tax, let's say $50 per starter and pass it on to the consumer. Trumps manufacturing revolution will NEVER happen, it's fake news.
he's like a 4 year old with his logic. he can't see that it takes years to move a company across the border. it's like he thinks 'poof' and there it is!
WHY WOULD ANY COMPANY EVEN CONSIDER MOVING TO THE MOST UNSTABLE COUNTRY CURRENTLY UNDER POWER WITH A 4 YEAR OLD KING!
Not only that but spoiled rotten Americans are going to demand $50 an hour in any kind of manufacturing job and no other country will buy it because they can pay China workers $1.40 hour. Bringing manufacturing to the US is old school, we've bypassed that and moved on to other things like tech.
EVEN THE COMPANY THAT PROMISED TO BUILD IN OHIO DURING 2016 BASICALLY COLLECTED THEIR CREDITS IN SOME SORT OF DEAL WITH RUMPLES AND WALKED AWAY. THE BUILDING WAS EMPTY.
Trump and Musk at the direction of Psychotic Christian zealots (Heritage Foundation), are destroying our country. They are fucking traitors and Russian Assets. They deserve to be tried as traitors. All conservatives are complicit in this and should be tried as well.
If they haven’t already succumbed to illnesses due to unattainable prescriptions and healthcare. Ironically and tragically-that’s his voter base, ignorant and poor. The wealthy, selfish and greedy feckers won’t be affected in the least.
Mad world, people voting to make their life suck.
Trumps 19thC economics - he wants to bring the USA back to the times when the Government’s income was largely from import duties in order to reduce taxes - most beneficially for the rich while at the same time reducing the Govt. capacity to a couple of guys in a shed in the garden
Everyone needs to calm down. Americans want the goods that we sell them, they’ll have to pay the extra. I know that reduces their spending power, then you go for a new deal and Trump will spin it to his voters that he won because we promised to get rid of the tariffs we never had in the first place
I want to go to walmart and look at the prices with the same expression I had on my face when the shelves were cleared out during covid like whoooo wtf
this is crazy
The terminology is bizarre. You can’t have a “reciprocal” tariff on a country that applies no tariffs to you. He seems to think that VAT is a tariff, too.
And the root of the entire thing is the idea that Sainsbury’s are ripping you off because you buy more from them than they buy from you.

This is working as designed.
Your only friends are Russia and NK. Good luck.

Don't buy MADE IN USA if possible.

Jesus Christ this is grotesque.
