how soon will Trump back down over tariffs

[JohnD]

You’re just being silly again.

No, I'm describing what he "can" do.

He "can" define different tariffs for France and Germany, and he "can" define different tariffs for Essex and Wales.

You think Trump can’t set France a different tariff to Germany?

Whether any sane person would do it, is a different question, and one that is not relevant to Trump.

His definitions would not become part of a trade agreement, because an agreement requires, er, agreement.

USA can’t demand much at all, Trump has already shat himself over bond market.


You mean stuff that American companies have ordered and need to run their business.

For example if Americas biggest car exporter get car parts stuck in a warehouse…..that’s gonna make USAs trade deficit even worse

Or encourage them to buy from lower taxed countries. Or locally

Deflection

It’s literally the point…..you just don’t like it as it destroys yer argument.



USA can only try and set different tariff rates to different EU countries if those countries export the same stuff.

We certainly got there.

 

[Notch7]

All of which damages USA businesses

Trump changes his mind every 5 minutes so USA companies aren’t gonna be playing that game

Oh and there’s those pesky bonds again

 

[MNW67]

The facts. Not nosenout lies.

The bit that I don't understand is how Trump thought you would get the bleach into the lungs in the first place:

And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs.

 

[Notch7]

Glad we got there

Dishonest misquotimg

Shows you’ve lost the argument

 

[Notch7]

Or encourage them to buy from lower taxed countries.

Twump already tried that and hes backed down and set 10% across the board

So what makes you think he can restart the tariff war.............is that pesky bond problem gone away

 

[Notch7]

The EU…. Different story.

you mean Trump is on the same page as his mate Vlad

why does Trump and Putin hate the EU.............maybe its because they dont like a rules based system, they prefer corruption

Motorbiking prefers corrupt systems which give tax cuts to the rich

"We'll call them beef" lol, bit like the EU with horse meat.

 

[Notch7]

"We'll call them beef" lol, bit like the EU with horse meat.

what you mean is: EU food inspectors found horse meat

in brexit UK we import any old sh1t, we dont have any import checks

 

[JohnD]

Trump doesn't like the EU because it is a large and powerful entity that does not burst into tears and surrender when he starts a trade war against the world (including penguins but excluding Russia)

 

[Notch7]

I predict Trump will announce that he has negotiated with China and reached a satisfactory agreement and will suspend the tariffs..........and on the same day he will announce a massive dead cat deflection

its what he did in his first term
