Live Updates: Trump to Impose Tariffs on All Steel and Aluminum Imports on Monday

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The nightmare, John...is for Democrats. At the same time that Trump is rapidly fixing Joe Biden's screw ups...Elon Musk and his DOGE team are uncovering Billions in wasteful spending and outright corruption by Big Government. You can tell that the Left is scared out of their minds by the unhinged rhetoric that's coming from them.

Nothing of the sort. Musk is messing things up, so the Judges have restrained him. By May the Orange machine will be axles deep in the Orange Swamp spinning away furiously and going nowhere.

So doing an audit that shows where we've been wasting money is "messing things up"?

The Left is scared shitless that what they've been wasting tax payer money on is going to be exposed by Musk.

Doing audits are required. But you bring auditors, not programmers, yes?

Audits are not required, John. They haven't been done in years and when they HAVE been done the agencies that were audited failed those audits BADLY!

They said they were look for fraud, yes? You do that with auditors, bucky.

Which is exactly what Musk is using. Auditors that just so happen to be young geniuses that are working long hours to expose waste and corruption. They are literally the worst thing that could happen to the Deep State. They're like financial statement "Terminators" that don't rest...don't sleep...and keep on coming! You think they found things at USAID? Wait until they get into the Department of Defense!

They are not accountants. Don't try to lie here. They are programmers. Why programmers? You are so inept at this.

A new Dawn and we face a brand new Future.
Courage and Clarity of Mind are needed .

The end of novice Bot Tolls like Horsey Horse and De Crappy . Many other brands available .
The end of the present Democratic Party. Mired in corruption
The end of the Legacy ( MSM ) press . Corrupted beyond saving .
Likely major civil mayhem and possible short term martial law later this year .
Punishment on a huge scale .

Not a happy forecast but first you must get rid of the poison before regaining health .
imho

Anybody caught laughing will be chased to the doors of Hell

I told you all. 25% Each resource.

I follow Trump as closely as any Canadian. Our foreign affairs teams should put me on the payroll.

You couldn't pass the IQ test.

The last time Trump did this, US manufacturing lost 200,000 jobs, and set manufacturing jobs back 10 years.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Uh oh! Some people see this as "Winning!" Uh oh! Mister Tariff strikes again! “Almost immediately” on every country!

Live Updates: Trump to Impose Tariffs on All Steel and Aluminum Imports on Monday

Trump to Impose Metal Tariffs on Monday, Followed by Broader Levies​

President Trump on Sunday said that he would impose a 25 percent tariff on all foreign steel and aluminum imports into the United States as of Monday and would soon announce reciprocal tariffs on America’s trading partners.

Speaking from Air Force One en route to the Super Bowl, the president said his metal tariffs would apply to “everybody,” including Canada and Mexico, America’s allies and its largest trading partners.

“Any steel coming into the United States is going to have a 25 percent tariff,” Mr. Trump said. “Aluminum, too.”
Mr. Trump’s decision to tax foreign metals and impose reciprocal tariffs comes in the wake of several other trade threats he has made since winning the White House.

Uh oh! Undoing another great thing Biden did for America.

Mr. Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on metals is not new. In his first term, the president levied tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum globally, angering allies like Mexico, Canada and the European Union. He ultimately rolled back some of those barriers on Canada and Mexico when they signed a revised trade agreement with the United States.

The Biden administration later reached agreements with the European Union, the United Kingdom and Japan to roll back some of their trade restrictions. A handful of other countries also negotiated quotas or other arrangements, but for most countries the steel and aluminum tariffs remain in place, said Chad Bown, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. It’s not clear if the new tariffs would be added to the old ones.

It would would be terrible if we used our own resources and employed US citizens.

GO TRUMP!

Things are gonna get very expensive

 

[Muhammed]

The Trump tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum are the reason that Democrats don't even consider Ohio to be a swing state anymore. Living wage steel industry jobs were brought to Ohio as a result of those tariffs.

America first, baby

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

and yet the report clearly states that Biden kept some of the Tariffs active during his term. go figure

So there is some rational reason for some tariffs? Tell us what they are.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

You know orange man is doing it right when the lib tooth gnashers complaining reaches a deafening pitch.

Programmers speak the language, dumbass.

How did you get so fuckin' stupid, dumbass?

They can't do audits, because they are not trained. You are gaslighting yourself.

And yet THEY are uncovering BILLIONS of dollars that have been wasted? It's pretty obvious that they have a set of skills that are perfect for the task at hand...which is why the Deep State is in panic mode! They're being exposed and they don't know what to do.

IN this case it would be to protect the domestic steel industry which could be viewed as a significant national security requirement.
