This is welcomed. We have been through all these and we are well able to sail through the odds as a people and a nation. Trump, you have tried for us.
Do you even understand the topic you're responding to?

Do you understand at all?

Trump imposed tariff on several countries including Switzerland, UK and many more. How's that a Nigerian thing?

The tariff is for Nigerian goods going into the US. How will that make us sink into poverty? Is it Nigerians will have to pay more for US goods? ...or Americans have to pay more for Nigerian goods? Americans will sink into poverty... not Nigerians. But what do we export anyways? Tinubu should impose a corresponding tariff on American imports ... cereals ... cars ...everything... it will bring more revenue to the FG ... encourage local production and move us away from the US . But should Tinubu dare do such ..... Trump will dust off and reopen his drug case file ....and the next breaking news will be ................
the main exports are crude oil and cocoa beans
Now America does not really need our crude so that will fizzle out
L
Last year we exported about $5.5 billion to USAand imported from USA $4.5 billion

Maybe we will wake up and start using cocoa beans at home
This tariff appears to hit all major cocoa producers so it means US chocolate will cost more

He seriously is the dumbest person alive. These tarriffs are a tax on American citizens. Donald Trump is too stupid to know that the it is the citizens of the country that buys imported goods that pay whatever tarriffs are imposed. So American citizens will be paying more for imported items from Nigeria.

Tarriffs stifle demand across all chains of production. With reduced demand comes slowing down of the economy and rise in unemployment levels. Economic depression can result from arbitrary tarrif applications as we see Trump doing here.

The last time this utterly insane blanket tarriffs was done was in 1930. The Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act, passed in the US, caused the worst global economic depression in human history. Trump is too stupid to understand the cascading and boomeranging effects of what he just did.

In all this, the winner is China as more countries will seek to improve relations with them. The world cannot keep tolerating American bullying for long.
if trump is dump as you claimed, he wouldn’t be one of the world richest billionaires.

I don’t think he is dumb niga, he is just an over serious businessman who want to run a country as a business venture. And that won’t work well

You are a great analyst. Trump just made a knee jerk reaction. I wonder if he's going to place tariff on the oil product he gets from Nigeria. I was just thinking how this will help America great again.

The tarrif is on goods coming into America, why can't China lower their tarrifs so other countries would have their goods flooding into China why should they think of s only ending to other countries.
it all depends on the trade deals those countries can negotiate with China. I scratch your back,you scratch mine type of deal.

I agree with you on this but must Donald Trump forced Other Nations to Accept his Deportations of his so Called illegal Immigrants into Other Countries and is that what the Leaders of these Countries Promised their Masses during their Own Elections?
President Trump and his Republicans should know that there is a termination date for all this Roforofo-Fights he is engineering Globally and will not help them in the Long -Run.
•The Great American People are loved All Over the World 🌎 because of Democracy,Not A Forced Nation,which will bring Anti- Democracy.
-Please, President Trump, removed your Tariff On Nigerians and Your Visa limitations and let Nigeria be!
-We NIGERIANS are Friends to Americans and European Countries,we don't hurt other Countries, because of our Democracy, derived from America Practice!
•God bless America
•And God Bless Nigeria!

So you know a country cannot be run like a business yet you support Obi inconsistent talks. You even gave excuse for him not conducting LGA elections for 8 years. His interference on how governors spend their money when he himself took 250 million monthly to Lagos for what exactly! Hypocrites

It is not all bad we too should learn from this
too many cheap imports from China we too should start to impose tariffs
As far as America is concerned what trade do we do with them apart from Oil?
The learning point is we should aim for zero trade with America
They are unpredictable
You obviously understand nothing about tariffs. Tariffs are paid by the consumer/importers in the country exercising tariffs. The exporters do not pay tariffs at source. Hence the aim is to make foreign goods less competitive. However this has its advantages and disadvantages depending on the self sufficiency level of the country imposing tariffs. Economics 101 Please
