Trump threatens XI with massive tariff increases

[Hafar1014]

The end user always pays all the costs, including tariffs.

The only people who do not see this blinding glimpse of the obvious are. idiots and Trump cultists.

Then why is inflation slowing after 9 months of tariffs. The end user doesnt have to buy. The seller has to sell or go broke. Prices then go down.

You really don't have any idea of how thing work, do you?

Sigh!

Tariffs help on the short-term but cause the problems of inflation in the long-term. That is a known thing!

I Only stated facts you have to put them together to see the big picture. 9 months of tariffs is long term. Trumps first tariffs have been in place for many years. It was Biden that caused the inflation with spending and his war on oil

Like I said in my prior post. You have no idea what you are talking about.

AI Overview

Inflation is expected to rise due to tariffs gradually, with the most significant impact anticipated in the second half of 2025 and potentially into 2026. This is because the costs from tariffs are not being passed on to consumers all at once, but rather are being absorbed by businesses and are bleeding through to final consumer prices more slowly. Economists expect the peak of this tariff-driven inflation to be higher in late 2025 than initially projected.

How tariffs impact inflation

• Gradual pass-through:
  Businesses are gradually passing tariffs on to consumers, rather than implementing immediate price hikes. This process can take time to fully manifest in consumer prices.
  
  
• Increased wholesale prices:
  Higher import costs due to tariffs are leading to higher wholesale prices, which will likely be passed on to consumers.
  
  
• Higher consumer costs:
  Consumers are already seeing price increases on tariff-sensitive goods like apparel, vehicles, and groceries.
  
  
• Business price hikes:
  Some companies are planning to increase prices on certain items to offset rising costs, and economists expect this trend to continue.
  
  Like it was stated above. Companies bought supplies as soon as Trump came into office, knowing he would impose tariffs and as such, were able to keep prices from rising too much as their profits have remained constant (because they had the supplies). Those supplied have now been exhausted and buying supplies NOW is more costly, which they in turn will pass on those costs to the consumer.

China's president Xi put on export controls on "rare" earth's out of China and in return Trump threatened to raise tariffs on China in a massive way.

Trump threatens ‘massive’ tariff hike on China over rare earths dispute​

It does seem that the relationship with China is deteriorating strongly and has begun to be a conflict that does open the door for big problems to occur.

The stock market has taken a strong turn downward (for example, the DOW was up 200+ points this morning and is now down 500 points.

You leftwingers are always here to ready to chirp up on a down day for the DOW. Totally silent on the many great days. Where, for example are you today when it's up over 500 points? Totally silent.
