The damage is done. It’s difficult to imagine citizens of other nations choosing to support U.S.-made products after witnessing this disgraceful behavior.
I'k not just talking about consumer products, but the embedded code in just about everything we use. From medical devices, to manufacturing robots, to accounting and government systems, to PLCs that run just about everything in industry. A huge amount of this code is US-based. Even this app.
It will be left to the Americans to drink soda and eat French fries.
Perhaps this is an investment by the fascist Trump, so that everyone has the same physical appearance as him.
700 million people in the EU, 40 million in Canada, hundreds of million more in Asia and Australia. All of them not buying any US products. Destroy the USA!!
Hear me out: progressively more sparkly wine with each death that gets you closer to a democracy. By the time you get to actual champagne you should at least have some breathing room, right ?
I'm sure Americans will be thrilled to have no choice but oversweet Californian plonk.
Do cheese next, Don. The voters will all love to be restricted to that strange yellow gloop you make in USA.
Then do chocolate so you can all enjoy more Hershey sick bars.
Lutnick is repetitive as if he does not understand how globalization & economics work. As U.S. Commerce Secretary this is embarrassing. @lisaabramowicz.bsky.social I don’t believe Lutnick could comprehend what you are asking.
Don't worry. I can't think anyone around the world will be drinking USA wine at the moment. EU wine will be much in demand to replace it.
(A pity for California though.)
If Trump keeps this up he's gonna learn the hard way that the US is big, but the world is MUCH bigger. His trade wars will harm everyone, but they'll absolutely destroy the US economy - especially when other countries' citizens begin to boycott it as well.
I know it's not a good sample but that was already happening on tiktok. Saw a bunch of support from EU and Australia(especially) when he put tarrifs on Canada. That they were already boycotting American products.
Yes, we're in the UK and we've been doing our best to boycott American products and services for weeks. Some things fall through the net but we can only get better at it with practice!
trump is truly a piece of S _ _ _! Not my president. He plays with every persons job, money, health, and happiness. Since he does this hourly, a government shutdown would not be any worse for the wear.
So only the billionaires can enjoy a bottle of champagne and wine. What will mr. Wonderful think of that. Wel come to Europe to enjoy a glas of wine and visit some graves of real hero's who gave their lives to fight nazi bullies. To your health 🍷 an thank u for your service all veterans.
Wegovy, ok. It's for "lifestyle amelioration".
Ozempic is indicated in diabetes, if other medication is insufficient.
Should we really start tariffs on medical products?
Stop in HIV-therapies due to USaid halts is terrible enough.
WHHYYYY?!?!! "The US-EU spirits sector is the model for fair and reciprocal trade, having zero-for-zero tariffs since 1997,” Chris Swonger, president and CEO of the Distilled Spirits Council, said in a statement.
Everything he is doing is to isolate us from our allies. Please remember he is setting the stage to “rule us like we’ve never been ruled before.” Does that sound close enough to how Trump would say it?
I didn't vote for this scum, but I'm glad I left my job last year when I did. 8 yrs working for a liq. distributor that was around since 1939 after prohibition lifted. Even tho we heavily supported local craft beers & CA wines, we carried many many import wines, scotch, & champagne.
So Trump LIED again. Yesterday, he said he’d pursue reciprocal tariffs—ie meet a 50% tariff w/ a 50% tariff. Now he’s threatening to meet a 50% tariff with a 200% tariff. That’s NOT reciprocal! TRUMP WANTS & IS PURSUING A TRADE WAR W/OUR CLOSEST PARTNERS! Pls cover/report accordingly! #TrumpTradeWar
The pricing on wine, champagne, and alcohol has little to do with tariffs. It has to do with the quality of the product. I'm not going to quit buying a good scotch or Irish whiskey just because Trump slaps a tariff on it. If I did, I wouldn't purchase some crappy US made product instead.
