This is the biggest blessing
During the Great Depression,
the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930
significantly increased tariffs
on foreign imports,
leading to retaliatory measures
from other countries
and a sharp decline in global trade,
which worsened
the economic downturn.

As Carney has shown, Trump only retracts when challenged frontally. He does not respect groveling cowards (like the Brits, especially Peter Mandelson)
#FuckTrump!

Does nobody explain it to them?
It’s like their ‘sales tax’.
it's not alphabetical, it's not ascending/descending. Is it "vibes"? Based on who's top of mind when they were doling out the tariffs?
He's hitting the poorest countries with the heaviest tariffs. (Probably based on some yes-man competing with imports from there.)
I guess Starmer kissed the ring for the UK to get away with just 10%.
GET ME OUT OF HERE!
