Democrats wanted targeted tariffs
Now he has targeted China and they are still wailing
Trump may act stupid but he isn't. Every nation gets 10% tariff and they are all happy, 10% on top of whatever tariff existed before. Quick calculation. If US imported $3T then the extra tariffs will raise $300B above last year
Democrats and RINOs are clearly in the pockets of China . The globalists want a weak Europe and America, that's why they promote China. Foolish of them feeding a crocodile hoping it will eat them last.
China is isolated. Begging Australia for friendship after it's been sending it's warships all over East in a show of force . Let's see what happens to the islands they been building .

China extends hand of friendship to Australia
China's Xi Jinping is offering to 'join hands' with Anthony Albanese to defend global trade against Trump’s tariffs.

The communist regime's ambassador to Australia Xiao Qian wrote that China and Australia should join forces to maintain an ‘open and cooperative’ trade relationship.

Mr Qian does not spell out specifically what he meant by joining hands.

'Under the new circumstances, China stands ready to join hands with Australia and the international community to jointly respond to the changes of the world, resolutely uphold international equity and justice, defend the multilateral trading system, ensure the stability of global industrial and supply chains, and maintain an open and co-

Everyone can also see that China doesn't play fair in trade deals.
Trump in less than 3 months has shown that America is too powerful. How successive leaders use this power remains to be seen.

Maybe, they will start wokeism again. Men now behave like sissy. No more manly voices. If your prik is tiny, own it than pretending to be a woman.
Xi is ready for negotiation. He no fit.
Which other countries will sit up too.

China ready to negotiate.

When you hold a man by the jugular, he knows.
China can't do without America and Xi knows that.

Trump slammed tariffs here and there to bring countries to renegotiate tarrifs that will be fits America and this is the only way to get it done cos they will never willingly agree.

When this is sorted, I expect him to start another controversy.

Career politicians shouldn't contest for the highest office of any country. They have messed countries up more than they have fixed them. Countries are run with business mindsets.

This is why I will always support death penalty, personally I dont see why this guy or any mass shooter should be alive even for life imprisonment

I support death penalty to all the party that allowed this to happen.

Yeah, they are one of the big providers in UK and their reputation over here is the best among the Private providers. UK is their only venture abroad, though we had some legal setups in Ireland and Luxembourg for tax reasons. UK is about £1 bln yearly revenue and USA about $60 bln yearly. It could be that they are more gungho in USA, certainly our bosses in Nashville were more aggressive if we missed targets than you would expect from an Englishman in a Corporate environment.

Leading yes but the best no.

I've been writing here about how China game plan is not just lift 600 million from poverty It's to take over as the superpower, a carefully crafted long term game plan
They bought out the Bidens , Hollywood and NBA makes a lot of money from China too. Then you have democrats who hate America, would rather everyone is on a government handouts Hungry people depending on govt are a
reliable voting block

Some people here know the drill but their problem is that the one championing it is the orange man. Democrats really really hate America cos this should be a welcoming and exciting news that your president is fighting for u.

They have reduced America to laughing stock.

I watch lots of chinese cooking channels from some families. They talk. Chinese economic explosion wasn't that far.
Chinese one family one child policy was cos of poverty under communism. As soon as they experienced capitalism, they relaxed that draconian law. They eat lots of plant protein cos they cannot afford meat. Meat was luxury.

And they want them to go back to that?


It's like north Korea, the day they will see the light, no going back.

I want China fake products stopped, their takeover of every business is too much.
Vuvuzelas are south African , the ones you buy are Chinese made

My colleague one day jokingly said what is remaining is to learn Chinese language here.
We all laughed but we got the message.

They can only stop fake if you start taxing them.

China is under developing countries protective act on trade. Wonder what they are still doing there.
Remove them from there and they should join developed countries so their tarrif will increase more. Don't know why world leaders allowed them to deceive them till now.

basilico:
Do you realize he has pitted the whole world against the Chinese? He still gets 10% tarrifsfron every country as they line up to negotiate for a deal within 90 days
Meanwhile the Chinese order cancellations will start within hours.

Read extract from the BBC article I pasted up there and see that the Brits are already complaining and trying to distance themselves away.

The world will just wake up to see China as who they are.

In uk, we have primak. Their goods are made in Cambodia and some of those smaller countries.

I was debating with somebody that it is the voice of esau but the hand of Jacob. They evade tarrif by going through slither country they can muscle.


China man is a horrible capitalist. They tasted economic freedom and the sky isn't their limit anymore. And when they render help to you as a country, the collateral is your port. Do the math.

Botragelad:
You wanna know the truth? Most people here, especially Democrats, have no clue about tariffs. They just talk because they hate Trump. They only care about policies if they like the person in charge. They hate Trump so much they won't even listen to learn. Everything Trump does is bad to them, no matter what.

When you try to explain, they call you names and insult you. Trump isn't perfect, some things he does are good, some are bad. But some people don't even know what tariffs are. Better for them to just be quiet and wait for the results if they don't know what's going on.

They don't know zilch about trade tarrif and it's horrible they are arguing blindly. Somebody gleefully said China is a Communist country so they will cushion the effect.
I gave physical example with what I buy from America, use Nigeria as an example yet they all pretended they don't know what is going on.
Even Biden continued from trump stopped.


Most countries are dumping ground for China. Some of the good don't even meet international trade standardisation policy. They can manufacture something inside their toilet and export to countries just like that. Example Nigeria is their dumping ground. What they export to Nigeria, they can't use domestically cos there is no regulation by their govt or ours.
They don't teach me inteenational economics. I will school them here with basic and simple economics so shame will catch them if they have any.

Your country is on fire and you are looking for short term gain. Posting stock market this or that.
As if the stock market are the real market an average American rely on to live.

The Biden administration kept the tariffs in place and added additional levies on Chinese goods such as electric vehicles and solar panels.

How low can we go cos we hate somebody.
Tuah

bemeruca:
That's where regulatory policies and implementation comes in.

So they have to look for a balance and bring back manufacturing

I am just reading now that even Biden continued from where Trump left with this tarrif thing during his first term. He didn't cancel any of the imposed tarrifs on some areas but added his own. Democrats didn't shout and scream. Today, they are screaming
Have never seen hypocrites like these people

The sky is indeed blue and white.
I am done with these people

Read carefully from BBC few hours ago.
Read with unbiased mind..............
Uk is even getting worried.
Somebody said China will not feel it as its a communist country. Lol.


A full-scale trade war with China and the US is in prospect after President Donald Trump imposed tariffs of more than 100% on Chinese goods imports.

China has said it will "fight to the end" rather than capitulate to what it sees as US coercion, and will hike its own tariffs on American goods from 34% to 84% in response to the White House's latest move.

What does this escalating trade conflict mean for the world economy?

How much trade do they do?
The trade in goods between the two economic powers added up to around $585bn (£429bn) last year.

Though the US imported far more from China ($440bn) than China imported from America ($145bn).

That left the US running a trade deficit with China - the difference between what it imports and exports - of $295bn in 2024. That's a considerable trade deficit, equivalent to around 1% of the US economy.

But it's less than the $1tn figure that Trump has repeatedly claimed this week.

Trump already imposed significant tariffs on China in his first term as president. Those tariffs were kept in place and added to by his successor Joe Biden.

Together those trade barriers helped to bring the goods the US imported from China down from a 21% share of America's total imports in 2016 to 13% last year.

So the US reliance on China for trade has diminished over the past decade.

Yet analysts point out that some Chinese goods exports to the US have been re-routed through south-east Asian countries.

Live updates on this story

China is not backing down from Trump's tariff war. What next?

Who are the tariff 'PANICANS' derided as 'weak and stupid' by Trump?

For example, the Trump administration imposed 30% tariffs on Chinese imported solar panels in 2018.

But the US Commerce Department presented evidence in 2023, external that Chinese solar panel manufacturers had shifted their assembly operations to states such as Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam and then sent the finished products to the US from those countries, effectively evading the tariffs.

The new "reciprocal" Trump tariffs imposed on those countries will therefore push up the US price of a wide range of goods ultimately originating in China.


What do the US and China import from each other?
In 2024, the biggest category of goods exports from the US to China were soybeans – primarily used to feed China's estimated 440 million pigs.

The US also sent pharmaceuticals and petroleum to China.

Going the other way, from China to the US, were large volumes of electronics, computers and toys. A large amount of batteries, which are vital for electric vehicles, were also exported.

The biggest category of US imports from China is smartphones, accounting for 9% of the total. A large proportion of these smartphones are made in China for Apple, a US-based multinational.

The US tariffs on China have been one of the main contributors to the decline in the market value of Apple in recent weeks, with its share price falling by 20% over the past month.


All these imported items to the US from China were already set to become considerably more expensive for Americans due to the 20% tariff the Trump administration has already imposed on Beijing.

Now the tariff has risen to 104%, the impact could be five times greater.

And US imports into China will also go up in price due to China's retaliatory tariffs, ultimately hurting Chinese consumers in a similar way.

But beyond tariffs, there are other ways for these two nations to attempt to damage each other through trade.

Watch: China says it will 'fight to the end' in trade war

China has a central role in refining many vital metals for industry, from copper and lithium to rare earths.

Beijing could place obstacles in the way of these metals reaching the US.

This is something it has already done in the case of two materials called germanium and gallium, which are used by the military in thermal imaging and radar.

As for the US, it could attempt to tighten the technological blockade on China started by Joe Biden by making it harder for China to import the kind of advanced microchips – which are vital for applications like artificial intelligence – it still can't yet produce itself.

Donald Trump's trade advisor, Peter Navarro, has suggested this week that the US could apply pressure on other countries, including Cambodia, Mexico and Vietnam, not to trade with China if they want to continue to exporting to the US.

How might this affect other countries?
The US and China together account for such a large share of the global economy, around 43% this year according to the International Monetary Fund.

If they were to engage in an all-out trade war that slowed their growth down, or even pushed them into recession, that would likely harm other countries' economies in the form of slower global growth.

Global investment would also likely suffer.

There are other potential consequences.

China is the world's biggest manufacturing nation and is producing far more than its population consumes domestically.

It is already running an almost $1tn goods surplus – meaning it is exporting more goods to the rest of the world than it imports.

And it is often producing those goods at below the true cost of production due to domestic subsidies and state financial support, like cheap loans, for favoured firms.

Steel is an example of this.

There is a risk that if such products were unable to enter the US, Chinese firms could seek to "dump" them abroad.

While that could be beneficial for some consumers, it could also undercut producers in countries threatening jobs and wages.

The lobby group UK Steel has warned of the danger of excess steel potentially being redirected to the UK market.

The spillover impacts of an all-out China-US trade war would be felt globally, and most economists judge that the impact would be highly negative.

Care to explain what China did?

Go and read up rules of engagement in international trade.

AmazonTopaz:
You people are so delusional. Lmao.
This one forgets that China is a Communist country and will adapt.
Over pampered American babies will not be able to. He didn't get what he was looking for. He is a failed business man and the United States is going to be his 7th bankruptcy.

China will not adapt to anything.
China has tasted capitalism though it politically is a communist country.
It is impossible for China to go back to full time communism.
Whe you have tasted power, you do anything to stay there.
I don't think any of you know Jack about chinese
economy.

As for Trump being a failed business man, you can show us yours even if you are still controlling thousands.
Talk is cheap.

China needed expansion into world economy to soar and that is what they have tasted and enjoying. Communism my foot.

Go and read up chinese economy as of today, and were they stand, we can then have this conversation. I will tell you about chinese economy than American or British economy.
I have been studying Chinese economy for years, both their languages and different cultures.

Wonder why all of you are so pained. If America fail as its projected to if drastic measure is not taking, you all should enjoy it.

Like I said before, empires rise and fall.
America falling won't be the first empire to crumble.

They do o. They have money. High value males. Any woman they don't marry can never see better husband again. She would suffer till death.



I hope ladies can get this. Don't mixup duties. don't slack in yours. You should drop more of these nuggets in your d****. Because if some of us say it, e go be like we are too young to talk on that abi na evil feminism. 😂😂😂

You read that my ranting?
I'm even banned there. Lol.

pocohantas:
But they claim money is not the problem. They have money, but Naija women are the problem. So tell your brothers to use surrogacy.

5 to 7am and they will get the child they want.

- Employ a nanny to look after the kids.
- Employ another call girl for regular sex.

This is cheaper and more beneficial to them than a wife that would reduce their life span.

They are the ones not marrying, they are still the ones threatening women with menopause and wailing online everyday. Tufia!

Those blaming here don't have up to 50k in their account. Real men marry. Just that they can't differentiate between a wife, mistress, maid and mother. The 4 are not the same and no wife should take the job of the other 3.

Unless they are ready to be sugar daddy, daddy, boyfriend and husband in one.

pocohantas:
Exactly! Yet they cry the loudest about not benefitting from marriage and wanting only kids. Pay 5 to 7m, you will get a child. You can even choose gender at an extra cost. They should embrace this option, let us hear word on this topic. Gosh!

You listen to them?
They want maid, slave, worshipper and mama in their wives. Once you don't meet that qualification, you are toast.

The only thing I usually tell ladies is if you set boundaries from the beginning, don't bend. After the initial lovey lovey, (it will pass) marriage should be seen and treated as business contract. That way, everybody should sit up and perform what the contract stipulates they should do.

If it's your duty to mawn the lawn and you don't do it,not to worry,I will call somebody to do it, pay the person and collect back my money immediately. I will even put consultation fee join
Did lots of that last year. The one that would have fetched me more profit, he quickly did it.
Even the kids have learnt to tax me too

Hayaoga1:
while finance is key in marriage. I honestly know that even with the whole money in the world, a marriage will never last if the woman is disrespectful. I have been married for over 4yrs now but I feel like divorcing my wife because of disrespect.

Your wife was disrespectful. Fine, divorce her.
But some respectful women have been punched to death by their husband.
Example is the late dunamis singer. She was a virtuous wife whom her husband manages her finance. Yet she endured physical abuse till death.
She was told to fast and pray. She did that. Even the pastor continued with his crusade somewhere when the news went viral as he don't care.


I used that incident so you will stop generalising

pocohantas:
So how exactly does that translate to them having children (and sex) easily? If they have to wait until the child is grown to sneak back into their lives. This younger generation are obviously not as family oriented as the millenials upwards. Nobody should be hoping they look for him/her.

Nigerian men should consider surrogate and stop looking for free womb to birth their kids. Use surrogates and stop wailing online.

Surrogate ke.

Who will take care of the child till adulthood?
Cos they won't.

No country in this world will be allowed to do what China did. None.

Hausa people should have themselves to blame.
During colonialisation and when the colonial masters were about to leave, the asked every tribe to bring their best sons for education. Hausa refused. Brought no one. Their qouta was filled by fulani. The colonial master handed over power of various establishments in the north to them as they were the only ones willing to be educated.
Magistrate court,post office, name them were all filled with fulani people. And those people inturn trai Ed their children while hausa people were busy farming. Federal appointments were naturally giving to them to represent the hausas.
They also trained their kits and kins to take over. By the time hausa people woke up from sleep, fulani has taken over everything from them. They will perpetually remain at their mercy.

His close team if advisors are people

Scott Bessent, nominated as Treasury Secretary, is a hedge fund manager whose wealth is estimated in the hundreds of millions, though some reports suggest he may be a billionaire. His exact net worth is unclear due to limited public disclosure, but his financial success is well-documented.

Howard Lutnick, nominated as Commerce Secretary, is the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, with an estimated net worth of around $2 billion.

Elon Musk, co-heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is the world’s richest person, with a net worth exceeding $400 billion as of late 2024, driven by his stakes in Tesla, SpaceX, and other ventures.

Vivek Ramaswamy, also co-heading DOGE, is a biotech entrepreneur with a net worth of approximately $1.1 billion.

Kelly Loeffler, nominated to lead the Small Business Administration, has a combined net worth with her husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, estimated at over $1 billion.

Paul Atkins, nominated as SEC Chair, is reported to have a net worth of at least $1 billion, largely tied to his family wealth and business interests


These are people who had "a meeting of the minds " with Trump. Not just employees working to please the master because they already have mortgages.

Feel free to withdraw your assertions.

No Trump just woke up to start placing tarrif from thin air.

You get time.
