We raise our tariffs

5b

This seems small also

Is illiteracy really still a thing in the US?

It is for the MAGA crowd.

Yea, given how much trump was boasting about this and hyping it up, you would've thought it was something monumental.
Turns out it's nothing more than a wet fart.

US to cut tariffs on UK steel and cars ($6.7bn in 2023

UK to cut tariffs on US cars and meat ($1bn in 2023)

No changes to UK digital services tax

No loosening of UK agricultural rules

Considering most of the US car exports will be Teslas and most of US food products are not legal in the UK this is a shit deal for the US.

you do, actually

UK products

kek

Never forget that whatever another country like the UK makes the USA is able to make it domestically.

US food products are not legal in the UK

i find it impossible for someone to be this stupid yet here it is. Those products are being legalized in the UK. That's like the entire point.

Nope

Both sides have agreed new reciprocal market access on beef – with UK farmers given a tariff free quota for 13,000 metric tonnes. There will be no weakening of UK food standards on imports.

You are a newfag so let me explain how media propaganda works: it's about lying to your public. by saying there will be no "weakening" they give the game away. "Weakening" is the magic word here. If there are rule changes and they are not described as weakening, then the statement is correct. Welcome to real life, retard.

So the orange clown is never gonna drop the 10% baseline?
Is he really that retarded?

The UK is honestly the most giga-fucked I've ever seen any nation. Is their government literally incapable of making any deal that accomplishes anything other than raping their citizens?

The baseline is the point. There is no longer free access to the US consumer market for foreigners. If you wish to make certain exports easier for the sake of your economy you make a deal with the US that gives them some kind of matching access to your own market.

10% baseline rape

I''m not wrong, its just a giant conspiracy to make me look wrong

Please stop coping

food for cars

The absolute most nothing burger deal ever

Explain to me why IN GERMANY? McDonald's is full even more so on Sundays because IN GERMANY? everything is closed on Sundays but McDonald's is open IN GERMANY?

Why don't you put a 100% baseline rate if you really think tariffs are good for your economy

what great conspiracy? If the UK by agreement alters their regulations prohibiting US beef imports they are going to want to avoid calling that "weakening" because that makes them look bad to their domestic audience. the truth is that they are not weakening those /standards/. what they are getting rid of are the bullshit rules that were there as a trade barrier. not ALL us beef will be allowed into the UK, because UK still has standards. But the rules that existed to prevent the US beef that DID meet those standards are being removed. That is necessary to accomplish the agreed percentages.

Its almost certainly smaller than lost revenues from the 10% tariff reducing consumption and capability for US companies to use imports in their processes.

10% tariff still in place

yeah the deal of fucking American citizens in the ass

Are you fucking retarded? McDonald's is made locally with the food regulations in force of the country its in

If you didn't notice Trump did just that on china and large numbers on all countries that tried to play games. Those will change but it's not as if it isn't considered.

At the moment the US is several decades into an import-based product economy. As a result we purchase many key goods from overseas. While it is entirely possible and likely that the production of those items will resume in the US, such a process can take 2-3 years. In the meantime it is easiest for the public (moreso the finance jews) to continue importing. A 100% tariff would be used to basically shut off those imports. We do not wish, at present, to shut them off.

I don't understand why this is so hard to understand but I believe the key thing foreigners struggle with is understanding that the US is not an export-dependent economy. It is huge and has serious production capacity of its own, and does manufacture many many things. We don't actually *need* to import products. On the other hand, other countries have export-dependent economies that NEED export markets. the USA is the largest export market and without access to it your economies crumble. This is why USA has leverage.

you don't seem to get that if a foreign country has a 10% import tariff then their products cost 10% more. For American consumers that is not a significant price rise fyi. Further, it makes other products competitive on price. If it costs 6% more to produce the goods domestically it immediately becomes viable to start up domestic production of that product because you can now compete with the UK version on price.

The assumption that morons seem to be going on is that your goods are somehow unique and magical. They are not. Further, Americans can and are willing to handle "shortages" and changes in product supply. This kind of thing is actually quite normal in American life - products come and go, are in stock or out. It happens. We consume more than we need and a reduction in our total consumption is not actually a problem for us.

Restaurants are open on sudays du Schwuchtel.
Sundays are the best days for restaurants. But go to a deutsche Wirtschaft und esse Sauerbraten

You do realize that German McDonald's have to follow German rules, right?

Thank you for the input Mr. Lutnick, lets get some more of these 5B market access deals going! Holy shit!!

You are welcome to be buttmad and obsessed with your own correctness. That changes nothing of course and is irrelevant. If you want to have an actually sophisticated understanding of international trade that is necessary to make sense of the changing trade regime that the US tariffs have introduced I have given you more than enough to set you on your way.

that is not a significant price rise

It makes a 1000 item go to 1100. That is a significant price rise when we've experienced suppressed wage growth since the 1970s. Moreover, its 10% for every single country. Trump just said that's going to be the baseline. That means a huge amount of our products going up like that. Imagine basically getting a 10% wage cut.

Americans can and are willing to handle "shortages" and changes in product supply.

No they are not. Its going to be the absolute top of their minds when they go to vote next year. Hell hath no fury like an American separated from their products. I never imagined that in 2025 Republicans would be the ones using anti-consumerist austerity rhetoric.

If it costs 6% more to produce the goods domestically

show me one example of a commonly imported good where spinning up a domestic factory, hiring american workers, using only domestic inputs, will cost less than 10% extra

That is a significant price rise

After 2021 goods in the US increased in price by 40% nearly across the board. 10% off is a holiday sale in America. We also have enormous disposable income. It really is not a big deal. It matters a lot more for the companies and financiers than it does the consumer. That's why it's the business-pages jews freaking out while the public doesn't gaf.

imaginne getting a 10% wage cut

inflation has accomplished that every year for about five years running

vote next year

there's a long time between now and then. you are making assumptions you shouldn't.

Ok so why not put a 100% tariff on every other country then
You seem confident that this will improve your economy

After 2021 goods in the US increased in price by 40% nearly across the board

may we see these goods

But the UK tariffs were not 5.1%
Fuck, I hate post-truthers.
Also, good luck making the Brits buy Ford F150 and beef. They literally do not need it.

Most goods. You don't seem to understand that the reason American goods are imported is NOT BECAUSE IT COSTS TOO MUCH TO PRODUCE THEM DOMESTICALLY. And when it DOES, the reason is regulations creating that. The regulations were DESIGNED to make production domestically more expensive in order to drive that production offshore. This was a POLICY choice.

That policy has changed and it is now desirable to do the production domestically. Remove the barriers and increase the tariffs on competitors and yes it very much pencils out.

Yeah bro the american taxpayer seems to love Trump's input on trade

you're an unserious person or do not live in the United Sates.

good luck making

that's the UK governments problem now. if they do not do so the trade benefits they received will not be honored.

so you don't have any examples. you just made up numbers with nothing to back them up, just like your orange nigger god

youre just a black retard gorilla nigger who can't back up your claims with even one shred of evidence

line on graph go down

post nose, fag

examples

I could post dozens and industry sourced surveys and walk to the shops and show you with photos. None of it matters and I won't waste my time. You are stupid, I've demonstrated that thoroughly.

No, you don't get to use previous price rises to justify your price hike. The entire fucking point is 2% inflation. 10% is an instant five years of inflation just dumped onto the American people, on top of other supply chain inflation that take place (especially with respect to Chinese goods and material that were used to make products).

there's a long time between now and then. you are making assumptions you shouldn't.

I'm really not. Harris lost because she couldn't speak the to state of the economy that people were feeling (inflation over the last several years resulting in high prices, despite the rate of inflation going down a lot, the high prices stayed and hurt people). People were talking about that feeling for years, it just did not go away and was extremely sticky in consumer sentiment.
Now? Consumer sentiment is the lowest reading its been since covid. People ARE going to remember that, because its precisely the same feeling that made Harris lose on the economy.

you won't post them because they don't exist and you are too much of a ego driven nigger mutt to admit your error

that's the UK governments problem now.

No that is not how it works. The F150 now has a tariff, it still will not be bought by the Brits, and you will do nothing about it.

Migger in this thread: "prices are going up by 10%, it's fine, we have disposable income"
These fucking idiots are ready to pay more for no reason just to follow their leader

with photos

Im sure people have photos of shit being expensive already

ITT absolutely buttblasted globobobos

I don't really like to gloat, even in the face of evil, but today is a good day

I've been doing the exercise of checking current Amazon list prices for items I bought last year. Certain items are up by 50%, though others haven't yet moved (likely because they are smaller purchases and have a lot of inventory in warehouses in the US). Hard drives are one example of the 50% spike. It went from 120 to 180.

I love how they believe the English will now buy beef. They already have 0% tariff on EU beef, and if you are gonna carry beef across the ocean, surely Brazilians and Argentinians and Aussies will be able to do it cheaper.

I'd pay 100% more too. you missed and you lost and youll keep on losing

lmao i love how you shitlibs think everyone has had their head in the sand as much as you for the last decade

okay free thinker enjoy your 10% consumer tax

And you're gonna lose in 2026, 2028 and for the next 50 years straight because your leader is a complete retard that transformed a successful economy into a recession for no reason

You sound like Ron Vara now, the tariffs sure are changing the trade regime, but who gets shafted in the end? The American consumer, you can drop paragraphs of copium in this thread and that doesnt change that fact either.

not a recession cope harder

I'd pay 100% more too

No you wouldn't, because if you did you'd already have everything in your house being US made. But you didn't because you don't actually want to pay that much, you just virtue signal that you do.

My bad just a negative growth economy
Brainwashed retard

Q2 is what will really show us which way the wind is blowing. Q1 had a ton of imports trying to frontrun the tariffs, now that they're on (and for China, massive) then Q2 is more of the actual economic impacts. Q3 will be even bigger because by that point the ripple from west coast to east coast should have been totally played out and warehouses will have turned their inventories over (meaning once they're out of Chinese imports, they're likely totally out). That's when we've got the highest chance of seeing empty shelves, if we do indeed see them.
Just to throw in my political observations, but I think its important to note regarding that Q3 empty shelves/higher prices will be when consumers really feel the tariffs the most. They WILL carry that feeling into the next year as they start voting.

"Ya sure, you can sell your non poison food"

have no poisoned food

(You) REEEEEEEEEE

You're a dumb bitch.

create a tax to drop a tax

And then you call leftists idiots.

Except it also taxes the people. A tax cut doesn't matter if the price of goods/purchasing power of the dollar increases just as much.

Removing import regulations is not in the framework though. Trump said nothing about it, Starmer said nothing about it, even the White House Fact Sheet (whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/05/fact-sheet-u-s-uk-reach-historic-trade-deal/) at most says they'll eliminate "numerous non-tariff barriers that unfairly discriminated against American products" but offers no specifics and if anything implies UK's food standards will remain the same by only referencing how they'll close loopholes and streamlining customs for US exports.

You are a newfag so let me explain how media propaganda works: it's about lying to your public

Oh so like insisting gas is $1.98 in three states when there's not a single gas station in the country that's below $2?

Anon... all of US's food is poisoned and banned in UK/EU because it is slop

we bang our head against the wall 10 times

they only do it once

0% is always the best tariff.

Thanks for the clear nonemotional, nonwomanlike explanation.

5bn*50 big post industrial countries that actually matter = not such a small number any more.
If the US can churn out 5bn from the UK on a small tariff, we're looking at much more value from other countries.
This can really turn a profit.
Why is this a bad thing again?

Holy migger cope lmaoo

Your not in any position to disagree with your betters, child rape gang enabler.

Foreigners seething is the best yardstick of success

why is this such a bad thing

You need to be weak, afraid, and ashamed of being successful. Or something like that
I'll be so happy when we can finally get over this neoliberal mental illness

Literally what's about to happen retard.
You probably don't work, so it won't affect you, only the tariff will affect you, thusly, you are btfo.

This can really turn a profit.

Why is this a bad thing again?

Because the gains made from free trade are virtually always larger than those made from tariffed trade. History plays this out. Tariffs produce significant downward, artificial pressure on markets.
The government would be making far more in tax revenue from higher volume free trade than they ever will in tariffs.

Because if we could get a deal with one of the bigger countries we would've done so by now. Plus a deal with someone who imports more from us than we export is borderline pointless.

Fuck man this isn't even an actual deal yet. It's a framework. It's literally concepts of a plan.

There are lots of good food companies in the USA and they will benefit.
FUCK TYSON RETARD.

Are you retarded on purpose or just pretending for fun?

2 more weeks

We know

Shouldn't you be upset then? This reduces the amount of tariffs. By your logic this would also reduce the amount tax would be reduced by.

Remember when Trump said he had 200 deals, and now we're finally receiving that he managed a framework on one of them with a country that was already in the bottom rung of tariffs?

Restaurants

fun fact, in russia mcdonalds self identified as a grocery store chain for tax reasons.

10% is an instant five years of inflation

implying we have had 2% inflation for years

More than that each year for the last four.
The liquor store is that way, Kamela.
Nobody looking at your fake "see, theres no inflation" charts, too busy trying to make ends meet after the last 4 years.

Nice try. But they've been saying for months they are getting rid of the income tax for under $150,000 then they started teasing $200,000.
They will replace the WORK tax with a CONSUMPTION tax and all leeches and loser faggots will seethe eternally.
The tariffs to bring something in from the UK went up tardo. It's so low it will effect nothing except they'll take in 10% of all that was imported.

the uk represents 2% of global gdp so if we substract the usa own 26% this represents 2.7% of global tam, now of course gdp doesnt fully reflect trade but for the simplicity of argument here if this gets added for every other country that would then be 185 billion in new trade opportunities and 222 billion in new tariff income which could result in a 11% total decrease in income taxes levied
which if favored towards lower incomes thus excluding exorbitant ceo pays from the equation could result in some pretty juicy lowered taxes for the working class
and china will have higher tariffs regardless so thats even more then

Or more accurately, an extra 7%.

unprecedented access to x market

how is this bringing factory jobs to america? he wasn't lying about factory jobs, right?

Further, Americans can and are willing to handle "shortages" and changes in product supply

Do you remember the shortage on toilet paper and how well Americans handled it? No, they were literally fighting in the grocery aisles. Remember when big bad Obama was rumored to jack up the price of gas and people panic bought gas and filled up fucking laundry baskets lined with garbage bags? Remember when people were scalping PS5s for twice their value and you had to enter a raffle to win the chance to maybe preorder a PS5? Americans don't do well with shortages you absolute fool.

Oh, you are actually retarded. A shame who we allow into the gene pool these days. Here’s to hoping you’re not long for this world.

do you remember weighing the words of a politician more than their actions?

No

i guess school history books might put in the tariff flip flopping in if he doesn't accomplish anything else soon. but as far as a legacy goes, trump just wasted everyone's time

despite the rate of inflation going down a lot, the high prices stayed and hurt people

the absolute state of nubiz

I'm very rich and sitting in a corner office.
I pay the tariffs as an importer and I know exactly what is happening. I'm very successful.

inb4

Nope, won't work. I'm actually very successful.

Went too strong on this one. Now I know you’ve been baiting the whole time. And are also retarded too. It’s a bad combination. Prognosis: You’re a cotton headed ninny muggins.

The tariffs to bring something in from the UK went up tardo. It's so low it will effect nothing except they'll take in 10% of all that was imported.

1. No, it'll increase the price of importing from the UK by 10% or higher. You don't understand how this basic economics work; if the price to obtain the product increases, the price the product will be sold for increases.
2. It was already 10% under the first round of "Liberation Day" tariffs you fucking retard.

anyone working on premises in the year 2025 is precluded from being successful. better luck next time, LARPtard.

Didn't work. It's drizzling outside my office window onto the blueberry bushes I planted out front as I've moved to "food scaping" instead of landscaping and I have my employees tend the garden on rotation as a welcome "break" from regular monotany of the job here.
They get to get outside and enjoy the sun a bit. I tell them "good job" all the time.

A tax cut doesn't matter if the price of goods/purchasing power of the dollar increases just as much

so, a wash, even using your butthurt example. Forgot to add:

New jobs created in US, creating more competition for workers, and higher wages

Try again in 2028 Kamela

Ok so where are those new jobs and higher wages? Because all I've seen from these tariffs are layoffs and continued wage stagnation.

You are so not in business you don't have any clue what the current margins are on most products.

I import widget for .33 per. I sell them for 1.89 per. Nice profit.
If the tariff is 20%, then that's 6.6 cents extra.
Makes the product 39.6 per to me. I can still sell that for $1.89 at a goodly profit.
OR, I can do the math and make up the extra six cents per unit by ONLY ADDING .066 to my product.
It's $1.96 now and I make the same exact amount per unit.

The margin is lower, but do you see losing money here? I do this all day.
Only globocorp is hurt because they have enormous overhead and THEIR STOCK PRICE is determined by the margins being so grossly ridiculous to start.
This is why the stock is down. LESS profitable. Not unprofitable.

I own the place.

for 1.89 per

It's $1.96 now

Congratulations retard you just admitted to increasing the price by 5% AND lowering your profit margin.

Amazing deal for America, hard to believe America was being screwed over for so long by Europeans.
Not surprising Euros caved in, they had no choice due to their irrelevancy compared to the U.S.

California alone is worth more than all of Japan (although I love Japan and hate californians)

Why bother explaining economics to the third-worlders? 49% of all Canadian imports come from America, Canada is especially screwed LOL

Amazing deal for America that we now pay more for UK products and the UK pays less for american products when the UK already imported more than they exported

You're really stupid, no bother explaining anything to you. You're a mentally-ill freak, a loser liberal.
You're irrelevant

perhaps you are confused. Americans now pay 10% more for British goods, permanently. congratulations.

says a guy with orange jizz on his face on a brazilian butt worshiping board. Top Kek. KYS MIGA traitor.

Please explain how it's a win that a US consumer has to pay 10% more for imported products than before but the UK has to pay 3% less for imported products than before. Especially since we ALREADY were going to put 10% tariffs on them anyways.

Trillions lost in instability for 6B gains and higher consumer costs... Sounds about right. Magatards really are the Dumbest people on earth.

Lost soft power

Higher consumer costs

Instability

All for

11% total decrease in income taxes levied

Yikes!
