how soon will Trump back down over tariffs

[gas112]

Are you saying Twump hasn’t put 245% tariffs in place?

That’s clear evidence Twump is sh1tting himself - anything over 100% is pointless.

China have already said they will ignore him

Will the chinese people in their tens of millions who have now been laid off ignore the government when their families start to starve

Diseased chicken entered UK

And where exactly did this diseased chicken come from? Sure there may have been a mistake letting it in but what it actually highlights the food standards in the EU in the first place.

Isn't only America that produces dodgy food.

UK bans EU cheese and meat imports to prevent foot and mouth disease spreading

People coming into Great Britain can no longer bring cured meats or cheese from the EU following an outbreak of foot and mouth disease.

Trumps tarrifs may have the unintended consequence of forcing the rest of the world realise that their economic future may be better served by reducing their trade with America.

In your usual haste for yet another bit of EU/foreigner bashing, you have conveniently forgotten the low food standards in the UK that led to british beef being banned for 10 years because of BSE!

Or indeed the blanket EU ban on the export of any meat, milk products, or livestock from the UK during our foot and mouth problems!

So, as usual, no comment on the shyte food standards in your beloved EU, just trying to divert away from the affair by going back in time. Don’t like hearing negativities about the EU, do you?

I might be going somewhere in the EU for a holiday this year. Only thing that’s putting me off is that I’ll need a green card for my car insurance, an international driving permit, a visa, something to replace the EHIC card and of course, I won’t be able to use my mobile without paying a bloody fortune. Oh, wait……….no, I won’t, will I?

China is showing who is boss…..poor Twumpy is having a total meltdown

Oooohhhhhh 245% tariffs screams Twumpy

That will surely lead to the sort of cost cutting and associated safety issues that Bowing are currently under scrutiny for. Chinna has got it dead right and Europe should do the same

You really are a basic person, aren’t you?
You think Trumps trade war on China will only affect China


“tens of millions who have been laid off”
Have you got evidence of that?


By the way even if it were true, China is a one party state, they won’t be protesting.

But thousands American companies will get destroyed by Twumpies tariffs….and Americans still do have the freedom to protest.


Ficker than the fickest of fick mince

You must be new here...

You always reach for the silliest of dumb arguments.

Every country in the world has dodgy businesses, the EU is no execution, but those dodgy businesses won’t be selling into EU markets with tight food standards…..no Sir, they will be exporting the dodgy meat to Brexit Britain which has no border controls.

Here’s a tip for you: try thinking it through before posting

Only certain countries/trading blocs will have the ability to do that...

Smaller countries (the UK included) don't have the clout to reorganise their economies in such a way...

Then there are the other links such as the military supplies required given the reliance in many places on the US for their hardware...

Where would the UK's nuclear deterrence be without that link?

De Gaulle had it right - "France as a major power should not rely on other countries, such as the United States, for its national security and prosperity"

Like Brexers, Trumpers did not recognise the need to recruit and train thousands more Customs and Immigration officers when they chose massive increases in barriers. Nor the additional costs and delays.

The UK Customs and Excise was largely dismantled after trade with our nearby partners was opened up after joining the EU, and we don't have the staff or the organisation any more. So stuff just rolls in uncontrolled.
