  6. I know Switzerland isn’t the EU, but they got 31% tariffs 💀

  7. 10% for the UK. Northern Ireland economy about to 📈📈📈

  10. So, is this guy imposing tariffs on the whole world? Truly wild.

    Let’s see how the EU answers. This is a good moment to get rid of the American domination while they are shooting themselves in the foot.

  11. Is trump confused though? Does the EU have a 39% tarriff on american goods?

  16. Impose 20% without even blinking. Fuck him.

    Also, his 32% tariff on Taiwan is such an insanity. They should ask for more on semi-conductors to the US.

  17. Is there a logic behind this madness? I mean there’s no way there is no way that there isn’t a hidden agenda behind there across of agent orange.
    The republicans are a cult, yes, but they also understand basic economics. Even if the word of their messiah is gospel, there is no way that there’s nobody telling him, that this is causing irreparable harm to their own economy. Trump is the most manipulatable toddler. No way, nobody could come up with a distraction to get him forget this idiocy.
    Working theory one: They want to crash the US economy so that the billionaire donors can buy up literally everything with their remaining assets. But aren’t there other better alternatives to get to the same goal?
    Working theory two: they are really this utterly, unforgivably stupid.
    This makes no sense.

  19. Long story short:

    Most products will become more expensive for US citizens.

    Even those that are finally manufactured in the States but have international supply chains. In other words, everything except basic foodstuffs.

    Back to basics. Just like the Khmer Rouge back then.

    Have fun with the consequences…

  20. made up numbers… the EU doesn’t have 40% tariffs on the US wtf? any news fact check this bullshit yet?

  21. Boycott American products, especially American tech companies.

    I support the EU as a Canadian <3

  23. I presume he is going to cancel the tariffs next week and claim an economic victory over *something*.

    After all his rich friends have purchased enough crashed stocks.

  24. It seems to be the percentage difference of what the US exports and imports from that specific country (or region). The tariff is than halve of the difference. Haven’t checked it for all countries, but is seems to be correct with EU and China.

  25. At least he let our boys in the UK off a little easier 🥲 lmao

  26. Excellent!

    The sooner the Americans finds out they have done a massive mistake, the better.

    !

  27. Meh, those Americans earn a lot of money and pay low income tax. About time their government tax them.

  28. Maybe I am plain stupid and ignorant but I don’t remember a time in history when “isolalationist trade policies” have worked well.

  29. This is the same country that was begging door to door for eggs?

  30. Like the Canadians we will buy European products and stop buying American products. Like no wine and other liquor from the US.

  31. Fuck America, I hope it burns

    80 million of their most retarded citizens voted to turn their back on their allies.

    (And now i have to go plan my trip for a family wedding in Pennsylvania to my trump supporting family)

  32. Trump wants us to become colonies of his emergent fascist regime. The EU must win this trade war totally and completely by any means necessary and at any cost. This can never be acceptable. This is an ideological war against the world on behalf of the US billionaire class. Resistance is a duty now. We must be done with the US.
