Trump Hits Pause On Trade War.

[0311]

President Donald Trump reversed course in the global trade war he launched just a week ago, announcing in a social media post a 90-day pause on new tariffs against every country but China.

That came just hours after Trump urged the country to “BE COOL” in another post that came amid continued worldwide chaos, with China and the European Union hitting back and the financial fallout spreading to bond markets.

As he halted his broader tariff program amid rising recession fears, Trump ratcheted up tariffs against China to 125 percent, based, he wrote, “on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets.”

In essence, he blinked. He created a five-star shit show and will have to find a way to unfuck what he has done.

Maybe all the countries that are ready to negotiate have something to do with it?

You really don't understand financial negotiation, do you?

 

[M14 Shooter]

In essence, he blinked.

You're lying to yourself.
But then, that's all you do.

“We saw the successful negotiating strategy President Trump implemented a week ago today and it has brought more than 75 countries forward to negotiate,” Bessent said. “It took great courage for him to stay the course until this moment. And what we have ended up with here — as I told everyone a week ago [here] in this very — do not retaliate, and you will be rewarded. So every country in the world who wants to come and negotiate, we are willing to hear you.”

Bessent was teed up to testify, and then sent a minion and went into a meeting with Trump, and Trump caved.

And it was only a "cave" cause Trump said he wouldn't relent. At least until Bessent told him the gop was in revolt and gonna burn his ass.

But as of right now, we have potentially no Jina trade and possibly the EU is willing to do a deal. Although, Trump just upped the interest we pay on our debt

Let's elect Bessent next time.

In fact I do, on the other hand, Felon47 created a worldwide shit show for no other reason than to do it. The Dow and S&P are down. He is NOT negotiating, he is destroying the world economy because he wants to.

He was not negotiating before, but he may have to now. But we have A NEW ACTIVITY. THE TRUMP LIMBO. HOW LOW CAN HE GO.

Donald Trump's approval rating collapses

Polls show many voters are dissatisfied with the president's handling of the economy and disapprove of tariffs.

He slapped a tariff on an island whose population are penguins. Exactly how penguins negotiate? What exactly do penguins export?

Thank you for proving my point.

What amuses me, to the extent I can be amused by Trump fucking with my money, is that I honestly believe reports that he's been seething for these tariffs for years. And it should not be that difficult to find what the commerce dept figures various countries trade barriers cost us.

Yet, he fucked up the calculation of how much other countries "cheat" (we do it too btw). He's had FOUR YEARS. lol

They're coming to negotiate now. Except for China who will eventually. Stocks are back up. Companies are coming in with billions. The car plants in Mexico will not be built. Tariffs (placed by Trump in his last Presidency) saved the American steel industry so there is proof that tariffs work.

Thank you for proving my point.

What does an island populated by penguin's export to our country. How do you negotiate with penguin's?

According to the World Bank, records show that the U.S. imported $1.4 million worth of goods from that place. Go talk to Biden.

The only ones reversing are the countries Trump's superb negotiation has brought to the table. And now this great man has put China in a vise grip after their arrogant defiance.

Say it with me.
Greatest. Negotiator. In. The. World.

The new word of the Progs..."blink". This man talks to the people near every day so far. You may not like him. No perfection. You don't get rid of good.

He "blinked"? Are you sure about that? Isnt it very possible and likely that other nations are coming to the table and offering to drop their tariffs? Do you honestly think that Trump ISNT going to get better trade deals at the end of this?

‘Nowhere on Earth Is safe’: Trump Imposes Tariffs on Uninhabited Islands Near Antarctica.​

Trump imposes tariffs on uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands near Antarctica

Australian prime minister surprised after remote external territories – including islands home to penguins – targeted by US president

www.theguardian.com

A group of barren, uninhabited volcanic islands near Antarctica, covered in glaciers and home to penguins, has been swept up in Donald Trump’s trade war, as the US president hit them with a 10% tariff on goods.

Heard Island and McDonald Islands, which form an external territory of Australia, are among the remotest places on Earth, accessible only via a two-week boat voyage from Perth on Australia’s west coast. They are completely uninhabited, with the last visit from people believed to be nearly 10 years ago.

Nevertheless, Heard and McDonald islands featured in a list released by the White House of “countries” that would have new trade tariffs imposed.

The Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, said on Thursday: “Nowhere on Earth is safe.”
