Trump threatens new 50% tariffs on China if Beijing doesn’t remove retaliatory duties​

• President Donald Trump is threatening new 50% tariffs on China unless Beijing lifts its retaliatory duties on U.S. exports by tomorrow.
• The White House says any suggestion that Trump is considering a 90-day pause in tariffs is “fake news.”
• U.S. markets opened sharply lower Monday for a third trading session, as Trump’s tariffs paralyze global trade and investment.

This is just the kind of steady, measured, rational leadership I thought we'd get during trump 2.0.

So, china has been using tariffs against us..so we say ok, we're going to respond in kind. And now china wants to up their tariffs because we're just asking for a level playing field?

That's pretty much the size of it, and the usual suspects are siding with China.

You want a POTUS that bends us over for a good raping, aint that right Berg?

China can't survive without us. They'll come around.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Instead..why didn't china say....ok, we will lift our tariffs and have free trade?

Why do you trumpanzees always thinks Trump is God and a trustworthy competent individual? You have no reason to other than sycophancy.

So why not just raise tariffs enough to match China? that would be sensible, but no, let's start a war, that's what Trump wants, conflict, he's a troublemaker and nothing more, that's all he does, al he ever does, make trouble for its own sake.

Which is why I think how trump went about this wasnt right, but I think true reciprocal tariffs were justified

Given that this was to be expected from the orange doofus the US being the laughing stock of the world is entirely on The Following. It is not in my nature to relish the economic hardship of others but no group of people deserve it more than trump voters.

And yet, they'll still tell you they're "winning". And they'll say it no matter what happens. The Dunning-Kruger Effect lives on in the GQP.
