Americans will not be able to afford the products that are majorly produced in America.

Human and material resources are expensive in America. Most coys would rather produce elsewhere and where to American standards then ship to America.

That has been the practice and it will remain so for the forseable future.

he is been greedy and you can't force anyone to open industry at your country but rather than entice them. If he increases tariffs you think other countries wouldn't retaliate

Can labor in America be as cheap as it is in India, Malaysia, China, Africa and others?

What about the input resources? Are they all available and cost effective in America?

Donald Trump is a joke

Cost of production is too much in the US. There's no cheap labour in US like China.
Many things are mass produced in China, making it affordable because they have the tech and human resource.

This will backfire big time.

Indirectly he's putting Americans first in everything. If he reduces tariff for you and taxations , you wouldn't still cater for your staff? Is that what you saying ? I'm not sure you know how strong the USD is.

Please don't fight a man who loves his country and people. Can Nigeria say this to Niger Republic?

Nigeria can't even afford to say so to Niger because you need food stuff and resources from Niger.

Nigeria is not self sufficient especially in food and agricultural products.

Whatever Nigerian farmers produce is not enough to feed Nigerians.

Don't you get it?

Manufacture in US , pay less Tariff, hire Americans to do your work. Is that a definition of a senseless person ? Did you check unemployment index in Nigeria, compared to US ?

So America should import from China what they can manufacture in their country?

In this era of automation, cheap labour overseas isn't an excuse anymore.

Na you no get sense bro.

What can America manufacture?

Let me guess, America can produce clothes cheaper than China.

Like MAGA hats?

Threats of tariffs not good for global trade.

If Nigeria ain’t got trade treaties in place for its strategic imports… too bad.

But Tinubu should confront Trump on this nau.

The president of the most populous black nation on earth hmmm

Trump is challenging many widely held assumptions and laws to turn thing around in America.I see him as a builder of the old waste and desolation of many generations.

Trump is simply playing to the gallery.

Would the Chinese who pay their billion citizens very low, now move those jobs to US, to kill off the Chinese jobs so America can be happy.

At the same time, US citizens expect good, even great pay.

This is a war Trump can never win.

The US economy is not the only economy on earth.

He is just trying to bully the whole world. . Really deluded my brother.

He feels since America has the centrality of major things the world needs (such as internet, space facilities, dollarization etc), every country must bow down to America by force.

Who is advising this man? We don't want another war again. Africans are the ones who suffer most, when the big elephants fight.
From research, it's too expensive to produce in the US, they know it, everyone knows it, and the impact on developing nation and it's industries is devastating.
This is the time for African countries to wake up and develop their nation. We have everything it takes to survive, but mismanagement and bad governance has been our issue.

I believe Trump is beginning to sound clueless with his recent rhetoric.

He might end up worst than Biden.

This decision might be good for Nigeria. I dont see China, America's biggest trade partner agreeing to that order, it could increase China's trade relationship with Africa IF AFRICAN LEADERS use their sense. That decision could be use to balance Africa's currency with China, it can also reduce AFRICA'S dependence on the dollar. Its up to Tinubu to take initiative and work with other African leaders.

American companies now rely on China , ode

With what he's effecting now, if china continues with BRICS , there is a tendency he may look to Southern America. The china you brag about, it would be a good thing to know that US saved them during the war between Japan and china. US imposed sanctions and closed several Japanese businesses and accounts in the US , this made Japan anti America until present day. If US decides to be a bully, and takes on china and removes Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau from china, this china you day brag about go day like Togo and Benin Republic. Cuba and Mexico was taken away from the US and made to stand alone, US na still place way many of us wan go still, Why is china afraid to Let Taiwan , HK and Macao go? grin

Again, China still owes IMF and co, and where do IMF have its HQ, what makes you think trump cannot change it for them?

American capitalists often move their companies to countries with cheaper labor, prioritizing profits over local jobs. This practice can be seen as prioritizing financial gain over the well-being of American workers and that is what trump is trying to do, put his people first.

lol, bro, a healthy business pays less than 20% on salary. If you're paying a large portion of your income on salary then you business is prone to crash. Asides that, America consumer market will attract them back. America is the country that has always attracted the highest FDI every single year due to their robust consumer market.

You expect the 1 billion people in China to take the low paying jobs in China from Chinese citizens to massage the ego of a mad man?

Let Trump do those things he promised, let the world see.

For all of you hailing this man. This is gibberish nonsense. The minimum wage in the US is $15 dollars an hour. Any product made in there will be very very expensive. He thinks he love his country but he is about to put them in trouble.

The country is already in trouble. Since 1971 when they removed the gold standard, their whole economy is a ponzi scheme waiting to crash. When this happens, currencies backed by the USD will shed bloody tears.
