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.

China deserves it.... They are the most underhanded, dishonest lying trade partners on the planet. That doesn't mean they'll be easy to take on though. We can do it but it will be painful. Ultimately it will cause them more pain. They will have to go back to filling up warehouses with manufactured goods that have no place to go.

The markets are surging back today as talks are opening up as countries smacking America with tariffs are in talks to lower tariffs.
If this goes well, and this is an if - once again the Democrats will look stupid but will quickly run to the next Trump outrage

Nope. The silly euphoria has evaporated along with the gains. Dow up 25 points, S&P and NASDAQ down. Why? Because China is about to respond to the tariff man's buffoonery.

That's what our trading partners think of us now.

Blaming the enormous loss of wealth due to Dotard's idiocy on the media is plain old gaslighting.

Where were you in June '24 when there was this much loss?
Where were you in August '22 when there was a market loss larger than this?
Were you screaming the world is ending?

 

[Ret Old Man]

Think where this country could be had the politicians not given so much to foreign countries…. Not only an edge on tariffs but foreign aid and billions given on presidential trips. And we pay for their foolishness through higher taxes-and they still want more.

Market swings often are intentional, since the wealthy can clean up on the panic.
But when it is not intentional, like this, then it can be "the world ending"?

 

[berg80]

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?

Being in servitude to the regime's lies is no way to go through life.

Trump trade tariffs slump widens to ‘nearly all U.S. exports,’ supply chain data shows​

What began as a rapid drop in U.S. imports as shippers cut orders from manufacturing partners around the world has now extended into a nationwide export slump, with the U.S. agricultural sector and top farm products including soybeans, corn, and beef taking the hardest hit.

The latest trade data shows that a slide in U.S. exports to the world, and China in particular, that began in January now extends to most U.S. ports, according to trade tracker Vizion, which analyzed U.S. export container bookings for the five-week period before the tariffs began and the five weeks after the tariffs took effect.

The farming sector has been warning of a “crisis” and ports data is showing more evidence of lack of ability to move product out to global markets. Port of Oregon tops the list with a 51% decrease in exports, while Port of Tacoma, a large agricultural export port, has seen a 28% decrease. The port’s top destinations for corn, soybeans, and other ag exports include Japan, China, and South Korea.

Hey Jeenius Boi: What happens when there's an increased supply domestically?

Exporters go broke because US consumption can't make up for the loss of international markets.

Japan's gonna be eating pretty good. So is South Korea. Vietnam, too, most of South America..NZ, Oz...
Perhaps even Russia soon. We're going to clean up the food though.
There's no reason we can't grow the best food and have it be not molested a million different ways by man.
That's ridiculous. USDA is gonna have to get tightened up.

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.

He seems to enjoy conflicts, whether it is within his own regime or with allies. But you will NEVER see him in conflict with Poootin. No tariffs on his butt buddy.
