Economy Trump's April 2nd Tariffs

[The Diplomat]

And you're pretending the societal and political difference between US and EU is in any way comparable to the one between the EU and China.

Buddy, it's ok to be dumb. you couldn't help it.
But agressively being dumb online is something you can change. i believe in you.

If the US is going to willy nilly throw extra tariffs on most European countries, and Trump is actively antagonizing Europe through Canadian and Greenland threats, then you're the dummy for thinking they won't go to China.

Trump is actively antagonizing Europe through Canadian and Greenland threats,

Why would canada threats antagonize europe lol?

then you're the dummy for thinking they won't go to China.

go to china when we've got literally a bunch of trade instruments AGAINST China at the very moment, like the anti coercition instrument and strategic investment analisys comission directed against china so they don't invest in strategic euro industries?

do you even have the slightest clue what you're talking about or you're getting your arguments from the yoga segment from CNN?

 

[Fanu]

you don't understand the difference between a country that shares almost 100% of good practices, political system and dynamics with the EU, and one that genocides their minorities, has a state run economy and is a dictatorship?
are you this fucking dumb?

EU had no problems with US genociding half of middle east since 9/11.. Not just that we didn't have problems with it, some of EU member states actively sent their soldiers to die along with US soldiers on foreign soil
I am sure EU will manage to turn a blind eye to China genociding a small minority within the borders of ITS OWN COUNTRY

China has been EUs largest trade partner for years now - US threatening EU with military and economic actions will just steer EU even more towards China

All I need to hear.

Ignore everything I've said. I've clearly put too much faith into this conversation.

Norfolk Island, which lies just of Australia’s east coast, was slugged with a tariff of 29% – or 19 percentage points higher than the rest of Australia, prompting Australia’s prime minister, Anthony Albanese to say on Thursday: “I’m not quite sure that Norfolk Island, with respect to it, is a trade competitor with the giant economy of the United States, but that just shows and exemplifies the fact that nowhere on earth is safe from this.”



norfolk island is smuggling tonnes of fentanyl into the states. they are a safe haven for drugs and gang members who will murder your children and eat your dogs. norfolk island is a threat to international security and it needs to be annexed before they start invading the world after they build up enough money and military goods through their booming economy and ripping off the united states in the global trade market.

You keep saying dumb, but you haven't actually said anything.

Anyways, projection and ignorance is beyond me right now. Good night.

This is like your seventh or eighth account. I've lost track. It isn't worth the time. Kick rocks back to the Heavies.

Sorry brother I lost control. Planted my feet and started throwing full power casting punches the likes of which haven't been seen since Fedor vs Zuluzinho. I didn't mean any harm.

*slithers back to the heavies*

i actually did, you just don't have the mental capacity to comprehend anything that isn't taken verbatim from cnn.

ignorance is beyond me right now

Insulting everyone who disagrees with you is amateur hour. We can all have fun in here at each other's expense, but don't be a clown with your track record. It isn't that serious.

You're right brother. My apologies.

The tariffs shall remain on those penguins until they meet their promised 2% GDP military spending. We are tired of paying for their defense.

China has been EUs largest trade partner for years now -

??? They are ???

US is by far and and way your biggest importer at 20.6 and 2nd largest supplier at 12.9%

You buy more from China at 20.1% but they buy wayyyy less from you at 8.3%

So overall, US is your largest and more beneficial trading partner. Not sure how you're going to get China to make up the purchasing gap without major concessions to IP regulations and a major investment in your domestic R&D. OR you're going to have accept China buying European goods and then reselling them to Russia; including machinery, semi conductors and other dual purpose military applications

For a very long time

Look at all the Left Cult screaming about Trump evening the playing field for the American worker and companies.

Yes, but the tariffs aren't anywhere near as high as Trump is claiming. The EU has an average tariff of between 2 and 3%, but the US imposed a 20% tariff in response. Same for Canada, but we were hit even harder for some reason.

The math ain't mathing.

This is how the so-called reciprocal tariffs are calculated:

these tariffs appear to be calculated using an extremely crude metric: the inverse of the trade balance ratio. In other words, if the U.S. imports far more from a country than it exports, the administration assigns a higher tariff—treating that imbalance as if it’s proof of wrongdoing. Economists are calling this approach “mathematically lazy” and “economically dangerous,”

If they're doing that then the UK and Australia should get negative tariffs seeing as we buy more from them than they do from us.
