Ever heard the saying of "Hold your nerve" same applies to these tariffs.


China are, don't worry.Ever heard the saying of "Hold your nerve" same applies to these tariffs.
Not counting chickens yet but potentially it looks as though it could be a masterstroke by Trump. Most of the world are salivating at achieving a 10% tariff as a starting point for negotiations.
For America, well, think debt paydown, tax cuts, growth and job creation.
The only loser is China, plenty of other countries willing to take up the slack as countries abandon China, Make no mistake, China has been intent on taking down the US so it would be fair to say they had it coming, Chinese troops in Ukraine won't be helping, either way, Trump's completely out-manoeuvred Xi.

Maybe. Maybe not.
My gut feeling is not.
Has the USA actually just lost the trust built up over almost a century of being a reliable partner.
Would you prefer it if China came out on top? is China a reliable partner? do you trust China?
What's more, this morning he was saying things like, it's a good day to buy stock, and it's cool.
Too many factors.
Nobody knows what is actually going on or what the goal is. Perhaps not even Trump.
I was actually quite enjoying it. Nothing has happened like this for many decades.
I'm still unable to find the eu have the discounted rate.
Earlier today, the European Union approved its first retaliation measures targeting the United States over its tariffs, shortly before President Trump announced his pause. “That’s bad timing for them, that’s bad timing,” Trump said in the Oval Office when asked about the matter and his threat to punish any foreign powers that retaliate. But Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, followed up to say the European Union had set a later date for implementation, adding: “Our expectation is it’s going to be later still.” Trump replied: “I’m glad that they held back.”

What a pathetic, digraceful, stupid, prize jerk. And I don't mean Notch this time

Sad to say, I'd trust anyone more than Trump. America's reputation has gone down the drain.Would you prefer it if China came out on top? is China a reliable partner? do you trust China?
