Trump’s tariffs: Swinging a 25% hammer while shouting, “They started it!”—peak trade war theatrics.
😺😺😺😺
Yes, please, do that. I'm so curious who will he blame when the dollar will be 0.54 euros
The Orange Turd has found his favorite word and he will use it for everything!
He’s such a petulant little baby. Macron corrected me, now I’m mad. 😭🍼👶🫃 Fuck Putin Puppet.
Mmm... Orangutan starts throwing shtuff at all the other apes and then complains when they don't want to hang out with him any more
What a ferkin ashole
welp, orange donvict did promote his platform as "America First!".
The EU was formed for America First!
This is at least 50% because of the sharp decline in swasticar sales in the EU.
It’s retaliation for free market forces hurting his dommy mommy’s Xitter feefees.
The other 50% is probably some combination of EU being willing to incorporate Ukraine and throwing around buzzwords because his brain is riddled with holes from puppet strings and drugs.
Macron fact checked Trump in public, a retaliation was expected. Honestly i am surprised it took that long.
Ok so to recap: stuff made in Mexico? Tariffs! Stuff made in Canada? Tariffs! Stuff made in the EU? Tariffs! Stuff made in China? Tariffs!
Is he jealous of the European 20-25% VAT?
Please EU, don't retaliate on this. If the US put tariffs on everything from everywhere, then it's just masochism and we should let them enjoy the suffering
Nah, do retaliate. Because the only thing the morons over here understand is “uh oh, line go down”.
As an European I don't want to pay extra taxes on American stuff just because their citizens voted someone with dementia as a president
Canada's plan for the initial round of retaliatory tariffs targets things made in Trump voting states and where there is a similar product made in Canada, or that we can get easily elsewhere, or that we can comfortably do without.
Things like recreational vehicles, and alcohol were at the top of the list, because they tick all the boxes.
But then you export less stuff, hurting your economy, while the US still exports just as much to you, so their economy does better. The counter tariffs are to make it less appealing for you to buy, and US exports go down.
In the end, everyone loses, but it needs to hurt them back to make them realize that.
please do. people should keep reminding this in social media platforms and everywhere else until he has no choice but to do it
God it is going to be kind of delightful watching America get what it deserves over the next few years.
Oh my gosh, this is so fucked up.
Do it you pussy! Come on! DO IT!
The USA was formed to screw Great Britain. What goes around comes around.
Not everything is about the US and certainly not about this Putin-loving fascist.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
