Listen and learn Starmer. Also cancel the state visit. US tariffs means the UK cannot afford a tangerine turd visit.

jmichelle73.bsky.social•5 days ago

If he comes to the UK … give him a ‘warm welcome’ from us in Canada too. Gloves off. Elbows up. And take to the streets with peaceful demonstrations in the thousands. Show your government what you will not tolerate.

june-mitchell.bsky.social•5 days ago

Did this on the last visit. We didn’t want him then, now or any time in the future.

jmichelle73.bsky.social•5 days ago

Love this. They are not welcome in Canada. And I would protest right along side you 🇨🇦

radtek58.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don't blame them.

wallawalla-99.bsky.social•6 days ago

It wouldn't make sense for them to invest. The US has less than 5 percent of the world population. It is too expensive and simultaneously unstable.

Also the consumer is losing purchasing power at record pace.

creeshen.bsky.social•6 days ago

Europe would be better off binding together and supporting the European economy. It's a bad idea to let Donald Trump control world trade and investment.

He is a terrible businessman. He will only take other economies down with him as he fails, like he always does.

antifascista-55.bsky.social•3 days ago

so ... much ... winning!

jer1190.bsky.social•5 days ago

Macron needs to not be a wuss and hit back. I get wanting to avoid escalating an already bad trade war, but stand up to this fucker. He wants all the countries to fold and bow down to him. Don’t give him that satisfaction. Call his bluff.

skembear.bsky.social•5 days ago

All while Starmer is asking the watsit how low should he bend over for him

A "stable genius" who thought slapping tariffs like stickers on a garage sale would make the world rush to invest in America-trade wars were "easy to win". But alas, investors prefer stability over a tantrum-prone despot who rewrites rules on a whim. Who could’ve seen that coming? Oh right—everyone.

brianwheeler69.bsky.social•5 days ago

This is exactly what I keep saying. This action won’t result in huge investment in factories and manufacturing in the US. It will be exactly the opposite. No sane business will plough billions into the US when its leader is so unpredictable. They will go elsewhere like Canada & Mexico and China.

vanillarage.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yes, indeed. Trump in his egotistical orgy of tariff mayhem thinking it will bring investment to America forgot the one essential ingredient- TRUST. Who in their right mind will invest billions in a climate where policies can change on a dime and where stability is a relic of the past?

barnat4.bsky.social•5 days ago

A banker who understands how get at Trump 😤

jillbelch.bsky.social•5 days ago

Come on UK, stop pandering to the Trump regime that has no respect for human beings

brianwheeler69.bsky.social•5 days ago

This can only happen if UK citizens accept they have to pay much more tax! The UK is so invested in US military hardware it can’t afford to upset the US or it becomes almost defenceless. The US owns our nuclear deterrent & maintains it. Our war planes for the carriers, many of our weapons systems 🤦🏼‍♂️

jillbelch.bsky.social•3 days ago

As someone else pointed out US manage them and only US can supply them. I wonder if they also control them so they can be shut down if we don’t play ball…

heathmcgregor.bsky.social•6 days ago

The world can survive without the UnSA. The n is for Ununited. Which is not actually a word. 🤔🤦🏽‍♂️😂

littlealix.bsky.social•6 days ago

I bet Starmer thinks he's done well kissing Trump's arse for our 10%

brianwheeler69.bsky.social•5 days ago

But it’s not just 10%, that only on other things we export it’s 25% on cars and car parts still, 25% on Aluminium and steel some of our biggest exports Starmer has to fight back now align with EU more especially on military equipment we are to reliant on US military hardware

littlealix.bsky.social•5 days ago

Totally agree, that was my ironic voice! It's a complete shitshow

Russia NOT on tariff list

Trump ADMIRES cruel dictators & wants to BE one

Putin is a MASTER of manipulation & EASILY exploits Trump's narcissism

Trump's kids ADMIT huge $$$ came in from Russia

Putin got Trump elected twice

Put this all together & here we are today

STOP Putin & his puppet Trump

vegestache.bsky.social•5 days ago

It seems to me that companies are free to do what they want.

gettersandsetters.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's a good idea our president has, but I'm not against taxing Google, Facebook and the others too.

A 20% taken from them, even if we would never reach that, would surely be enjoyed too.

iammarelyn.bsky.social•6 days ago

I can't speak French.
And I think this is going to be one of the future leaders of the world.

brianwheeler69.bsky.social•5 days ago

Sadly not he leaves office soon and can’t run for president again which is a real shame

iammarelyn.bsky.social•4 days ago

It is absolutely unbelievable...

jomoore2601.bsky.social•6 days ago

Well that a no brainer.

bust3d00.bsky.social•6 days ago

Meanwhile, good old jcb trying to stab everyone else in the back

As expected

bella7777.bsky.social•6 days ago

Exactly this . Why reward a man who is trying to punish you

arbtrader.bsky.social•5 days ago

many countries have taken similar measures. shockingly bad news for the regime.

wdavidse.bsky.social•6 days ago

Given the way the US is going, there is a real chance that the Trump government will put capital controls in place to prop up the dollar. Foreign companies might find it harder to get their investment and profit back out of the US again.

dr-4-freedom.bsky.social•5 days ago

This man has stepped up as the FREE world leader

barbrajrobbins.bsky.social•6 days ago

Macron is a smart man!! Good for him! Trump is not a leader — he’s out for himself!!

nickdrumr2.bsky.social•6 days ago

All other countries should be targeting US corporations with close ties to trump by enforcing local taxation and closing loopholes. Less harm to the American people and drive a wedge between trump and money.

celticdolphin.bsky.social•5 days ago

Good for Macron👏👏👏👏

fritzbischoff.bsky.social•6 days ago

As I always say – never mess with the French!

Macron’s got more backbone than Starmer could ever dream of.

🇫🇷 Vive la France!
🇪🇺 Vive l’Europe!

While Bamford is doubling the size of his JCB factory there, no doubt at the expense of British workers!

The Head Honcho of JCB on BBC Radio 4 this morning suggesting that we shouldn't do anything to upset Mr. Trump and telling us that he was moving British jobs to America.

Vous pensez vraiment que ceux qui paient la bouteille de champagne 60 dollars ne mettront pas 80 dollars pour l'acheter ?

C'est une blague.
Un peu plus d'humour svp

Effectivement j'ai perdu de l'humour en ces temps incertains ! belle journée à vous

À vous aussi !
Il faut garder l'humour , même dans les pires conditions :

Hope this is aimed at schneider electric, who've announced a USD700m investment.

I've sat through 8 years of mandatory training of DEI and climate change pledges from SE.

Fair enough!

llanc.bsky.social•5 days ago

Good

redpandamoniums.bsky.social•5 days ago

Trump has made imports expensive for his own country, thereby beginning to destroy the US customer base. So, why would any country choose to import to them now? Expand your exports to other partner countries. Trump has self imposed sanctions via trade on the U.S. Raving idiot.

A few small, isolated countries might bend the knee for trump’s tariff shakedown, but large markets won’t. He wants foreign companies to invest in US manufacturing when he’s making the US the most unreliable investment ever.
