You obviously aren’t aware that many manufacture products have content from multiple nations.

 

Perhaps you had turnips in mind.

Yes, that's why vehicles for example only have to be 55% locally sourced to remain tariff free.

 

What's the criteria for tariff free exports from the EU to the US?

The US just ripped up the tariffs free agreements.

Russia are under sanctions which are harsher than tariffs.  Maybe you would have a point if he had lifted the sanctions and not imposed tariffs, but he didn't, so you don't.

[sqwakvfr]

Ah, 44% for imports from Myanmmar?  Also, when Jim "lightning round" Cramer says your wrong on tariffs then you are probably wrong.  

[candide]

Trump forgot a small detail. The countries, on which he just imposed tariffs, represent around 70% of U.S. exports....

Careful what you wish for. Those gonads are your own people especially the lower-income households. It's estimated that it will cost the average household $3,800 per year. Ouch.

Checks out. 😄

 

Although you can hardly call people who voted for Trump 3 x "noobs", can you?

 

They know exactly what they're doing by supporting Trump.

 

They hate 90+% of America and want to destroy it. 👈

No tariffs on Russia despite a trade deficit of $2.7 billion. Strange, that... 

Expand  

 

Don't forget it, after his November 2024 election Trump hurried to "friend" Putin.

 

Now we cann guess what the "good friends" talked about:

Putin:     what should I do that you (USA) will not make me a problem because of the Ukrainian-War?

Trump:   I will take care, that you (Russia) will not be punished by a higher import tax rates.

Let me correct the notes you are obviously keeping.

 

I stated, very correctly, that when in the United States I spend most of my time in ‘Westchester County’.

I never stated or even implied that I spend most of my time there. 
 

Please update the notes in your files accordingly.

Also think about how absurd the notion that Cambodian consumers, from a very poor country with much smaller population, should buy as much stuff from the US as what the US, the wealthiest country in the world, buys from Cambodia.

As much on your topic as your post Chomper and a link to your claims as a response is not off topic or cross posting.
 

I suggest the title of the thread is something you need to pay attention to in future. It’s not about what you feed your rats with.

If you look at the bizarre mathematical gymnastics which Trump and his administration have used to decide the size of the tarifs applied to various countries, it rather seems that the Trump Administration doesn't either.

 

Still, 'twill show those pesky penguins that they can't mess around with the United States!

 

The total absence of tariffs on Russia? A testament to the enduring power of old VHS tapes?

Quite agree. Thai tariffs on US cars is 300% and Trump slaps a 36% tariff on Thai produce? Just how is that fair? Hope we are in agreement?
