Why would a country not tariff goods coming in, even though their goods are being tariffed? China did the same thing. Can somebody explain to me?You already suffer from exporting, why not at least collect the import tariffs?
Is it to bend the knee and hope for a better deal?
Because if your country doesn't make those industrial inputs domestically, you're just killing your own industry by increasing the costs they have to pay for materials from USA.
The reason the USA will "win" this new trade war is because Trump is giving every world leader a chance to save face. They can all huff and puff and call Trump the big bad bully. This gives them all political cover to reorganize their economy around the new trade rules in the USA. Ignore everything said by these political puppets or reported in the (((media))). Instead merely watch the actions.
This but the exact opposite. Everyone can silently pivot from poosmells of shitmerica. While trump claims victory before the shoe drops and his cult commit suicide en masse
literally who twatter account
Correct
Deranged
Because they don't want prices to increase.
Can they when America is 40% of all global spending? Not really... lol
This is the most retarded take I have seen on this board. No one can take the US's place now as the US has the world reserve currency. Yuan is shit, euro is shit, rubles is shit, nothing is good enough. Just like Britain with the gold standard, as long as you control the world currency you will win regardless of what you do. The world will need to wait for an unironic digital currency that somehow has real value and backed by something in order to circumvent the US
It's this. And the truth is that Americans have the most disposable income and access to credit in the world. Yes we have an underclass on the brink, but overall, we can afford to pay a bit more, ESPECIALLY if that helps fund better jobs for the precariat surviving off doordash delivery jobs.
Everywhere else would get cars burning riots if prices increased even 10% more due to retaliatory tariffs. Even worse, if there was a 20% drop in production that they can no longer dump in the USA and there's job firings. BTW, they can't legally fire anyone in the EU/Canada due to unions, so instead the company just has to go bankrupt or the government bails it out via taxes or inflation.
Third worlders and europeans don't understand that Americans, despite correctly pointing out price increases, are more than willing to pay them. We are talking about the culture that saw gas rise from 50¢ to 5$ and bought more cars. No other country can handle tariffs, which is why they yell at the US every time the US imposes their own
its hard to fathom just how big donald trumps cock is
trusting politicians to keep their word
Do Canadians really?
Canadians are euro-minded, so they immediately trust words rather than actions
are more than willing to pay them.
Lmao no they're not. Prices being high under Biden literally lost dems the election.
Hehehe you're totally right but it won't last forever. You're playing the few cards you still have in your hand, but you'll have to start again, and closer and closer together in time and one day there will be no more cards. Tick tock.
it was prices
No, it was everything. Biden's economy completely stagnanted for 3years, he was visibly unfit despite media and the democratic party trying to say otherwise, 2 wars started early under him and are still ongoing with no ceasefire on either, and finally the extremely messy manner in which he dropped out the race to push forward an even more unpopular candidate. Just saying it was the economy for Biden is disingenuous at best, Trump in 2020 was all about the economy.
Not in the next 100 years, China can't stop it's workforce collapse, control it's own currency, divest the government from the economy to make investors not worry about being disapeared, failed to keep a lid on their debt-slavery plans, and can't stop lying about getting into new alliances despite never signing any agreement and the other members of said "alliance" immediately running to the US for gibs.
Read Zeihan. China is in a way more precarious position than the USA, simply from an energy and food position, let alone the security position. China has how many shared land borders, 16? USA has two, and both countries are our bitches.
americans are ok with high inflation
how delusional are you?
Zeihan
that dude has been calling for a China collapse in 2 weeks for a decade now
Buy Canadian!
why tariff?
so consumers in your country buy less of the thing and tariffed country has less revenue from selling less of the thing
your government has become so unpopular with the tariffed country that they buy less of your thing without the need for imposing tariffs
you buy the same amount of the thing from tariffed country but now pay a sales tax because you proudly are the biggest spender and don't have a choice
China gets 16% of its total oil imports from Saudi Arabia. America has all the cards, and the furthering of American/Saudi relationships were cemented when the Crowned Prince agreed to buy over 150 billion in American military equipment aligns with the new global order in trade. This gives us unprecedented leveraged when forcing both China and Iran to capitulate. Another hint on why the China/US trade talks went so well that theyre now opening their economy to american imports for the first time.
China can make the shortfall by buying Iranian and Russian gas then. This pulls them closer and more against America than further apart. Do you trump cultists retards en read what you write?
What is lake baikal. Why does china have a fixation on it. Why does china believe it belongs to them. Does inner mongolia have a water shortage? China and Russia are not as close as you think. If stalin didnt trust Mao fully why would Putin trust Xi when China is using Pakistan to fuck over India.
I don't even like Putin but this is straight up NAFO copium brainrot from the deepest atlantic and foreign policy paper subscribed mines of reddit and neolib twitter
tariffs cost the consumer money
your people are consumers
your people aren't going to put up with tariffs
you'll see. Watch what happens in the US over the next few months and years.
If stalin didnt trust Mao fully
stalin was a paranoid schizo. that's like his most famous trait how do you not know that
this just in!
exports of cheap russian crude oil and gas that they can't sell to half of the world were spiked at the border crossing to china with cootties!
china has halted russian oil imports until further notice
There is no honor amongst thieves. Instead of being intentionally disingenuous you can do a little more research or even ask chatgpt to water it down for you.
Lake Baikal holds 20% of the world's unfrozen freshwater, making it the largest freshwater lake by volume. China, which faces severe water scarcity in its northern and western regions, views Baikal as a vital potential water source for the future. There have been controversial Chinese investment proposals to bottle and export Baikal water to China. These sparked protests in Russia over ecological and sovereignty concerns.
You're embarrassing Russians, Ivan.
Trump derangement strikes again
Not enough supply from both iran and russia combined, but there's a much more basic problem facing china than running out of gas: where's the iron coming from so they can make steel?
But can russia effectively replace Saudi Arabia for oil imports? This is 16% of total imports were talking about. Along with literal impending war and strained relationships. China will also have to increase imports from more countries than just Russia alone. Russia doesnt have the infrastructure to suddenly pump more into China. Half of these faggots arguing are doing napkin math and saying "Well just import from Russia" without considering external factors.
Russian oil is a logistical nightmare to pump and send anywhere, let alone abroad. China is more likely to find success annexing Siberia than it is relying on Russians delivering full output
Funny you mentioned siberia because of the lake baikal situation
China and russia are not as close as western socialist faggots would assume
It’s chainlink
omg you 2 retards
look at an oil price chart
turn your brain on
figure out why line go up and down
I personally expect China will discover the same problems with Siberia that Russia did: In the season when it's warm enough to go out and build, it's too swampy to build. But, China may decide that blowing those lives in Siberia is worth the juice, certainly Russia did once upon a time
high inflation
That went down

Its not about the price you tranny, its about access to the supply
k but you said that americans would be fine with price increases
