Trade Wars - Its on !!!

US on brink of trade war with EU, Canada and Mexico as tit-for-tat tariffs begin

The United States and its traditional allies are on the brink of a full-scale trade war after European and Canadian leaders reacted swiftly and angrily to Donald Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminium producers.

The president of the European commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, promised immediate retaliation after the US commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross, said EU companies would face a 25% duty on steel and a 10% duty on aluminium from midnight on Thursday.

Europe, along with Canada and Mexico, had been granted a temporary reprieve from the tariffs after they were unveiled by Donald Trump two months ago.

However, Ross sent shudders through global financial markets when he said insufficient progress had been made in talks with three of the US’s traditional allies to reduce America’s trade deficit and that the waiver was being lifted.

Wall Street slumped as the Dow Jones Industrial Average shed more than 200 points, while shares across Europe also declined.

The move from Washington – which comes at a time when Trump is also threatening protectionist action against China – triggered an immediate and angry response from Canada, Brussels and from individual European capitals.

Juncker called the US move “unjustified” and said the EU had no choice but to hit back with tariffs on US goods and a case at the World Trade Organisation in Geneva.

So what is going to happen here then ?

Trump is starting a global trade war

America's biggest allies and trade partners are promising to fight back against US tariffs that threaten to spark a global trade war.
The European Union, Canada and Mexico said Thursday that they will respond to new US tariffs on steel and aluminum with punitive measures targeting American products worth billions of dollars.
Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission, said the bloc would move ahead with tariffs that are expected to affect roughly $7.5 billion worth of US exports. It will also lodge a case with the World Trade Organization (WTO).
"The United States now leaves us with no choice but to proceed with a WTO dispute settlement case and with the imposition of additional duties on a number of imports from the United States," Juncker said in a statement.

China reportedly lining up countries against US in pending trade war

China is reportedly looking to line up other countries against the U.S. in a pending trade war after the White House took an unexpected move forward on tariffs a day earlier, the Wall Street Journal said Wednesday, citing Chinese officials.
On Tuesday, the White House announced it would have a final list of $50 billion in imports that would be subject to 25 percent tariffs by June 15, and two weeks later would announce investment restrictions on Chinese acquisitions of U.S. technology.
In response, China is reportedly looking to line up countries against the U.S., the Journal reported. The countries in question are mostly in Europe and Asia, where companies could benefit from China's plans to give foreign companies more open access to its markets.

/—-/ Who does Trump think he is sticking up for America? He’s supposed to bow down to the world and let them rape us.

Is it possible to rape oneself? Who made Americans buy all those foreign cars? Who made Americans choose gas guzzling behemoths that drink down foreign oil? Who made droves run into huge, Chinese product stuffed stores to buy unneeded junk? Americans caused the trade deficit. Whatever other nations might have done that was unfair, the mirror holds the image for the U.S. to regard as who is responsible (or is that irresponsible?).

The people opposed to this trade war are morons. The way to cancel it is not to shout that Europe and Canada and Mexico as well as China are going to hit us back. It’s to point out how international the world really is. Go to South Carolina and highlight the jobs from the BMW plant there. Go to Tennessee and show the folks how many people are employed by Volkswagen at their factory. Georgia and show folks how the Kia’s are made.

Toyota’s in Texas, and the list goes on, and on and on. JCB plants all over the place. Ask the workers how they feel when their factories may be shut down because of the pending Trade War? Ask the local communities how they feel.

Nope, that would take work, and knowledge, and let’s not forget the ability to think when the name Trump is used. That last part is impossible for folks opposed to Trump. When you say the name, they begin twitching like a patient at a Lyme Disease research facility who is having an epileptic event.

They don’t think. They don’t want to argue their point to the people. Why? They think anyone who would vote or support Trump is an idiot. So why explain things to an idiot, why make any arguments to an idiot? They won’t do it, and they will continue to lose the argument.

You could argue about the exported cars we would be sending overseas, including those foreign brands built here. But no, we won’t be discussing that. We could argue about how the trade wars will hurt American farmers, and cause them to take years getting back to the market share they have now.

Nope, all we are going to do is scream Trump is a traitor and an idiot. Because the real idiots are the ones who refuse to do it the right way.

A lot of liberals fully support Trump's tariffs. To many, it's a leftist dream. The support of capitalism and trade were a couple of the few things that were admirable about the GOP. That's gone now.

Nah. The Left would rather eat a raw turd than see anything happen to NAFTA because it was Clinton that got it. Also the left believes that with trade, we are exporting not only products, but democracy and human interconnectedness.

It’s why the Union members abandoned Hillary in 2016. The Left didn’t take their concerns seriously.

The U.S. has massively prospered from NAFTA. Look at the state of Mexico, if anybody should be complaining about NAFTA, it's them.

So far Trump has lost multiple deals and has made zero. He's negotiating from a position of dementia.
