the article you linked says they are

no it doesnt stop telling lies . Show me where they say it isnt 64% which would be their first comment if it wasnt

He talked him up from “I think we can do a deal” to. 10%.

Keith done well

Joking aside I think he played it well, even though the Don was already better disposed towards us. The State visit may well have paid dividends.

hopefully. unfortunately Starmer makes the mistake of assuming he is smarter than the other guy and over plays his hand.

Why would it be? They are dealing with a bully and need to choose their words carefully. Where did they say 64% is correct? They said it doesn't reflect the true situation.

Its also worth stating these are additional tarrifs, on top of any already existing ones.

It's also likely to be the largest single tax rise by the US government since the 1960s.

doesnt look like anything of the sort
Repeat the Taiwanese are not disputing the figures in any of their responses

Below is the equation that Team Trump are using to explain how they calculated the reciprocal tariffs. It looks impressive, but it is actually very simple. None of it is based at all on the actual level of tariffs which other countries charge. It is all based on the trade deficit, and then worked backwards to imply a level of tariffs which don't actually exist. It is an absolutely fascinating piece of spin.

The richest 100 in the country do you think that is a good

Increasing tariffs mean ordinary Americans pay more tax

And it’s going to fund tax cuts for the rich

Do I think that’s good? A = no

You literally quoted it ya muppet

"The tariff rate does not accurately reflect the actual Taiwan-US trade situation and is unfair to Taiwan

Indeed. It usually means the opposite. That a country is rich.

So If I buy more from the US, than I sell to the US, I get a subsidy?

Trade deficits make America great, not tariffs
