Xisnin:
Every sane person knows that he is lying through his teeth.
The childish claimed they were begging him on their knees, yet he couldn't name one of them who did.

He reduced tariffs on all countries including Canada and EU that hits back at the US.

The idiot finally chickened out.
Why will he pause the tariff that was designed to bring manufacturing
and jobs back to the US?
Is he tired of winning?

Watch how his worshippers who said tariff is the best thing Trump has ever done change
their mind immediately.

He is probably thinking he can force other countries to tariff China on his behalf with a "deal", but he will
fail spectacularly once again because nobody trusts the mad man who changes his mind
every hour to honor any deal.

Smart countries will start drawing up strategic plans on how to reduce dependence on US trade.
Trump is nothing but a fool and a chronic liar! cheesy

China will continue to call his bluff. He can't do anything rather to issue threat to increase his wounded ego.

China will come out victorious in this trade war with the strongest economy while US economy will suffer inflation, recession, debt and depression that will follow it.

China cannot afford an economic crisis. That's what keeps the Communist Party in power unchallenged. The Chinese government knows this, I believe.

Beyond trade economics, It appears Trump is trying to cause political unrest in China in order to slow down the country's towering economy and global trade dominance.

Nigeria will be useless to you. You curse Nigeria, the land curses you back . Don't look further when everything you sow in Nigeria remains unfruitful.

How do you place Tariff on a country you don't trade with. No trade between Russia and America. Sanctions stopped all trades

American investors have been instrumental in the growth of manufacturing production in China, with the U.S. reducing its tariffs on imports from China. This move allowed American companies to take advantage of cheaper Chinese labor and resources, helping them increase profits at the expense of local workers in the U.S. This move had significant global implications, further entrenching China as a major manufacturing center while negatively impacting industries in the U.S., leading to reduced job opportunities and increased competition.


These are the facts and they are undisputed.

immune Ke. So you are the only one that does not know that Russia is under trade embargo?. On what are you going to impose tariffs if there are no trades?
Re: Trump lowers reciprocal tariffs for 90 days, imposes 125% on China goods by Focusmind: 7:28pm On Apr 09, 2025
China made a very big mistake in retaliating. There was no need fighting with Trump, knowing that China has been benefiting, disproportionately in her trade with US. Xi will put China into recession because of unnecessary fight. He should have swallowed his pride and allowed Trump be, so long China was still on top of international trade. You are fighting with your biggest trading partner, where you control 75% of trade between two of you. Xi no try at all. I forsee a 200% increase in coming weeks, as Xi try to match up with Trump's madness

And what does he mean by disrespect to "world" markets. I thought he loved to work alone. This is so irrational

If Nigeria raise theirs, na me and you go suffer am because we are import dependent.

It means prices of stuffs will increase across board.

Tariff hikes isn't kiddies toy game. It has far reaching consequences.

If you are smart you will know there are few people that will benefit if that is done.

Use brain Oga. Trump also placed tariff on Russia. But why will they react? They’ve been sanctioned off the market by democrats so they’ve learned to be independent. Tariff doesn’t affect them
No he didn't even though he could
Cos Russia is already under over 24000 sanctions.
Why?
He has eyes on the rare earth minerals under Ukraine and wants Russia to stop the war

Russia is already under heavy sanctions more grave than tariffs. There is practically no trade between US & Russia at the moment due to existing sanctions to warrant tariffs. It is just like beating a dead horse.

The former trade ban and restrictions are still imposed on Russia so there is no need for tariffs.

If he likes , he can raise the tarrif to 200% China will never succumb to a bully.

America are yet to come to reality that china has surpass them in everything. China is not on of those 75 countries that will bend down a beg a bully. Is not gonna happen.

America will loose the trade war. Most of their consumables are made in china. Ivnaka trump fashion business is in china. Even Trump Maga shirts and caps are all made in china cheesy cheesy

So how is America gonna win ? China will trade more with EU, Argentina, Brazil, India, Mexico etc. Those their exports that trump put tarrif on will still be reroute and export through Mexico, Brazil and Canada which will still find its way to the US.

China has also has an alternative to all US products imported in their country. China is a the world factory!! Can the same be said to America ? China has also banned the exportation of 9 rare earth minerals to US which is vital to their defense and military.

China has all the cards to play. Trump has none. He is just making noise and issueing threats to massage is Narcissistic ego.

Americans should be ready for inflation and recession that will hit them.
Do you see how he's trying to save face and trying to be clever by half by stylishly suspending the tarrifs because American stock market took a hit? The guy changes his mind every hour. Truly a village Idiot
