You must really think that every leader is as useless and vision less like tinubu.

Trump is making the best decisions for the American people and what this means is that more Americans will get job and the country will get more revenue in tax from the companies operating within the United States . It's a win win for United states and her citizens .

The useless president of Nigeria removed fuel subsidy on the first day of his inauguration which has since then caused untold hardship on the citizens.

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.
So other nations should move to USA to establish, what they can do in their own countries?

So every nation should be onlookers and import everything from America while there own economy is in ruin, yet this is America he wants to build a wall round to fence everybody out from.

No this is a man who thinks his country muscling other economy will be beneficial for his country. America will lose more than gain in this trajectory. America is already a great nation with or without Trump, but starting an economic war will be in nobody's interest.

Some of your useless country don't even allow people import cheap food into it but you want Americans to be importing cheap products to the detriment of their own economy , he is not muscling anyone , he is saying if you want to sell to Americans them be ready to invest in America simple and short and if you can't be ready to try other economies and see how well that works

No more imported anything.

Trump is 100% deluded. Out of touch with reality
They call such, "voodoo economist", the reality would soon be done on him in next 6-8 months. That was how he did wen COVID 19 just started, until hundreds of thousands of Americans paid for it, yet humans will never learn,they still insisted he is the man to lead them.

When you start trade war with other nations, will they pay you back by importing from you?

[i]If they stop import from you, what would happen to the USA economy? Will Americans consume everything they want to be producing [/i]themselves?

He is only promoting China to take over world's economy indirectly. Nations would shift attentions to China to trade with them.

We should do same in Africa but our leaders have no balls... In fact, they themselves have manufacturing businesses outside Africa.

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.
Hmm, don't conclude. America will surprise you.

Trump wants less than 3 percent, every American must have jobs they can choose from ...it's not fight , those who know the advantage of selling to Americans are already lining up to open factories
Under Biden it was less than 5% because majority of that 5% will never work.

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

Mention some of that useless country since you seem to understand how the world trade works. You think other countries will stay duck while Trump pills tariffs on their goods. Trump is a loud mouth who thinks the world revolves around America, but guess what that's not gonna happen. Imaging annexing Canada, buying Greenland and taking over Panama canal militarily is all sign of wannabe dictator. Every good business person reduces his lost to make more profit, so why should I produce in an economy where the cost of production to my relative profit is higher. America's lost is China's gain, so let the game begin

Re: Manufacture In America Or Face Tariffs – Trump Warns Global Business Leaders by bentenny(m): 8:12am On Jan 24, 2025
Let's see the incentives behind manufacturing in America!
The problem is that it's cheaper producing products in china than america...so what can Trump do to alter that?
If the incentives like tax reductions or waiver for certain number of years or a significant reduction in energy cost or cheaper labour could actually spur manufacturers to setup their production companies in America!
Imagine if Nigeria had a conducive environment for businesses or companies to thrive....

But he will wants to export his own to other countries abi. Then other countries will say same. Your dollars will be worthless. This is a financial mistake from trump
Re: Manufacture In America Or Face Tariffs – Trump Warns Global Business Leaders by Procashtips(m): 8:17am On Jan 24, 2025
Well, this is dead on arrival except you intend using illegal immigrants as labor force thereby paying them what is being paid to workers in Pakistan, Philippines, India or China.

Oh I forgot, you are chasing away illegal immigrants already.. So no way a manufacturing company in the US can produce products capable of competing outside the US price wise.

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.
I biliv that is signal Tinubu saw in few months ago, that he "re-awaken" the swap deal agreement of currency swap with China. If Trump misbehaving, nations would find alternative way for payment system and move towards China for trade. Before he knows, Trump will be helping China thinking he wants to hurt them

Don't mind them...

It was exactly how China rose from grass to glory.

It's not a bad policy IMHO. Plus he promised reduced tariff for those who comply... (Not like I take promises from politicians serious) But business men and profits are another devils government need to watchore closely...

Not honest small business people like us o.. We no even reach the level Trump dey talk of here

He never said he will annex canada , he said Canada will fare better as 51st state and that's they truth, Canada has achieved very little as a standalone country and it's only claim to fame is that it's shares border with America .

About buying Greenland it's an offer it's left for the people of Denmark to accept it not , afterall this is the same way Alaska was bought from Russia and today Alaskans are better off .

When it comes to Panama canal I hope you know American money , technology and lives wholly funded that massive project with panama not even adding a dime , America now gifted Panama only for Panama to now be charging American ships more than any other country, if they want to keep operating the canal then the should reduce the tarrifs for American ships, it's simple

Lo, once I didst deem yon Trump a cunning lord of commerce, a master of trade's labyrinthine halls. Yet, alas, such thoughts have flown as the morning dew, for his conviction for foul dealings hath laid bare his folly. Now doth he appear naught but a jester, bereft of wit and wisdom, stumbling 'mid the ruins of his vaunted craft.

Behold his threats to levy tariffs 'gainst sovereign lands—an act as fruitless as striking the wind with a sword! Know’st thou not, 'tis the people of this realm who shall bear the weight of such burdens? Forsooth, when a company is oppressed by excessive tariffs, doth it not pass that yoke unto the common folk, raising the cost of wares as surely as the sun doth rise? 'Tis as plain as daylight, yet he doth wander blind, seeking profit in folly, and wisdom in ruin.
