These countries are some of the most vulnerable to President Trump's sweeping new tariffs. Their economies are deeply reliant on selling goods to the U.S., and many of them were hit with especially steep taxes. https://nyti.ms/3E8wYeL

"We're gonna win so much, you may even get tired of winning. And you'll say, 'Please, please. It's too much winning. We can't take it anymore, Mr. President. It's too much.' And I'll say, 'No it isn't. We have to keep winning. We have to win more!'"
I fully expect all MAGA hats, T-shirts, tat and rubbish to be produced exclusively in the USA, and that home grown cotton be used, stitched together/assembled by a born and bred US citizen
That’s should be the gold standard for achieving Liberation Day objectives.
In his list of countries, the "very stable genius" put tariffs on an island only inhabited by penguins. 🐧🙄😂🤣🤦♀️
BTW...Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE are NOT on the list.

Vietnam & Cambodia went through devastation during the war w/ America. Since then, they've developed strong ties w/ the US, pulling themselves out of poverty by making cheap products for the American market
Now the US is again backstabbing them w/ extreme tariffs dragging them back into poverty 😪
Problem. The rich have money to spare to invest in stocks while prices are low. They will reap the rewards when the market rebounds when Trump is no longer in office. The rich get richer and the middle class and the poor get poorer.
Also, they are in line to benefit from Trump's proposed tax bill. Not only do tariffs overwhelmingly affect the poor, not the rich, the tax bill will add to that inequity. It is a massive transfer of wealth to the rich.
It's not a tax on those countries! It's a tax on the companies importing from them, which gets passed on to us. Stop covering for the administration, you fucking cowards!
Dear Lord. The reason these countries have a trade surplus with the US is because they sell all the cheap crap that Americans want to buy. They can't *afford* American goods!
Because when China says ‘sign here’ and they all do then Trump & friends $ will have cause (‘risk’) for building rocket ships 🚀 to drop nukes on them and blast them into oblivion just like they did in the old centuries 👾☢️🤑
Imagining some smart foreign economist will build a global coalition where everyone trades with each other freely while completely avoiding the United States. Americans will buy stock in it as it otherwise turns us into 5th century Rome.
Il paraît qu’il faut piquer l’argent des français pour enrichir Dassault..pardon.. pour fabriquer des avions, et pour réarmer militairement la France contre ces salauds de Russes, et il paraît que les USA sont nos alliés et qu’Orban est membre de l’UE et qu’il va accueillir un tueur de masse.
The rates aren't reciprocal and don't make sense because they rely on trade deficit which isn't necessarily relevant. I've read Taiwan duties are averaging 6.25%. Trump says his 'reciprocal' tariff is 32%. That makes no sense. This is all BS to set up a gangster-style system of bending for favors.
Everywhere else can change and adapt while we are stuck with a low iq president who has no clue how the economy works and whose only skill is causing companies to fail

Price+tariff= Higher price
Higher price>> you buy less of it
Simplistic idea: you buy them less, deficit # decreases
Lower deficit # w/out investment & even w/out local manufacturing.
For the short to med term, it's a numbers racket.

Bravo for backstabbing Vietnam yet again though, America. Y'all look soooooo reliable as partners.
Also the US is not having any allies anywhere anytime soon.
