While The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled (6-3) that Trump lacked legal authority under a 1977 emergency law to impose his earlier broad global tariffs… President Trump, be like….. FAFO
Sokoto Hotel has a special guest enjoying a long term stay that "FAFO" with the Naija Judiciary. No one is above the law.

You do not see that you are deceiving yourself. Keep a lookout. I guess the challenge to the dollar remains strong!

If only African leaders will have such boldness.

God bless the United States of America
So it is boldness to go against the ruling of the Supreme court? What will be your reaction if a Nigeria President goes against a clear Supreme court ruling?

I know many Africans and Nigerians like this dude, they claim, oh he loves America, he does what's best for his country bla bla bla. But the truth is, Trump is just an entitled white supremacist and all his followers are same. who will suffer for this tariffs ? The same Americans because Americans will pay that 15% on imported goods, not the exporters because it will be factored in the cost of the goods already.

Now the whole of Europe and Uk who are America's allies now want to do business with China and other countries because they can no longer trust the USA under Trump. I guess no matter how big an Empire is, one big headed leader can bring it to its knees if care is not taken.
Beautiful analysis!

The Orange Mussolini won't stop already.

10% Tariffs? The suppliers will still pass it on to Americans in form of price increase.

10% hike will only benefit the The American Customs which means more money for the government to play ping ball with world politics.
It goes much deeper. The idea is when the goods become more expensive, people would look for alternatives and thus, reduce their purchase of those imported goods, which would affect the importers of these goods and by extension, the producers

China won't retaliate, they need America market and American people will bear the blunt of the tariff increase.

I regret supporting him

You can’t say you regret. You can never use that word regret so you knew.

You knew who he was and you just chose to ignore. Saying you regret is not acceptable.

What has he done that amazes you? He was projected to do all, and he is doing. So where did your regret come from?

I didn’t support him, but nothing he has done surprises me. He was about that life and didn’t hide it. You knew, you just ignored.
I didn't know Trump would be that dumb. I never knew he was the weapon fashioned against Americans. That's why the regret.
However, You can't define how I feel or express myself.

Trump has lost the plot completely.

The only country his tariff is affecting hard is Canada, other countries have since moved on.
Despite the tarrrif against China, the export of China grew larger. No factory has shut down in China because of any American tariffs.

Nobody is serious bringing jobs back to america except the ones in Canada.

Trump is an economic illiterate, he has no idea how global economy works and thinks a old concept of tariff restriction will impact anything in 2026

Didn't SC just rule he can't impose tarrifs?
He is leveraging on Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974.

This is temporary measure that will last 150 days.

After this, he must get congress approval to keep the tariffs.

Oh ok. Can he renew for another 150 days after that? But a lot can happen in 150 days. That's half a year. Anything that stays in place for 150 days will likely be very hard to reverse

No country in the world is selfsufficient.

In reality, the richer you are as a country, the more interdependant you are.

Self sufficiency doesnt make you rich, it actually improverishes you.
Oooh!!!
