All the goods that Trump excempts from tarrifs is tipping his hand. If I were one of these countries like Taiwan where semiconductors are exempted, I would apply an export duty equal to the tarrif on other goods. If you want to tarrif me fine but you’re going to have to commit.
Do they show anywhere how they arrived at those numbers for tarrifs to the USA? It says it includes currency manipulation but I have no idea what that is or how it’s calculated.
EDIT: Just saw in another thread it’s literally just trade deficit divided by exports from that country…holy shit.
No basis in logic is a nice summary of the Trump administration in general.
Those penguins are trying to rip off America! It’s about time they pay their fair share
Those uninhabited islands were formed specifically to rip off America!
Guys, I’m not totally sure about this, but just maybe this guy isn’t really interested in peace.
Naval drones could be especially helpful
Delay nothing
A fact that nobody who voted that way could have possibly known ahead of time.
Nice to see Canada poutine him in his place.
Don’t forget the millions of voters as well
All good, it happens, I probably wasn’t clear. Let’s just hope the whole thing stops, clearly identified officers or not.
I’m not talking about what we can determine here from the comfort of our devices, I’m talking about what a reasonable person might think in the moment and how that might cause them to respond.
An agency denouncing something doesn’t help me if I’ve just been kidnapped and possibly killed though. There is so much about this that is totally fucked up. This is basically the absolute worst way to go about this.
I don’t know, someone saying “we’re government agents” doesn’t really cut it, anyone can say that. Also I watched another video that didn’t have the subtitle, thanks for explaining, I didn’t know they verbally claimed to be agents.
How can someone even know that these are government agents? From the video there seems to be nothing about them that would indicate state authority. Absolutely insane shit.
I’ve always been curious exactly how much the US benefited from their geopolitical position. I suspect it’s a huge amount and I guess now we’ll get to find out.
This would be amazing. As a software engineer who potentially wouldn’t mind moving to Europe though I’m pretty biased.
I wonder how much of a chunk they could realistically take out of the US share in some of these sectors. Things like social media can be pretty entrenched.
I wish someone would fund journalists airing my governments dirty laundry… seriously anyone. Instead I have to donate directly and Russia just promotes fringe bullshit on Facebook or whatever.
People being incentivised to keep these relationships secret just gives even more leverage to the CCP if they successfully use this as an espionage tactic. I assume that’s what this is meant to guard against but surely it would have the opposite effect wouldn’t it?
