1. For context, Trump said he was imposing 10% baseline tariffs on all countries, so this is not him singling out the UK (which already placed 10% tariffs on goods from the US so this is just reciprocating that). Also, the rates he set for other countries/alliances were much higher (EU 20%, China 34%, Japan 24% for example). Basically, the UK are among the least impacted.

2. Is this the very first Brexit benefit ha.

3. Was expecting more to be honest

4. Time to power up the Commonwealth again!

5. SO does this mean EU companies will move to the UK to get cheaper tariffs tot he US?

   Seems like something they would do.

6. The Orange Agent is looking for money in all the wrong places.

7. Am I the only one who thought that he looks like standing in front of the circus tent 🎪 he turned the United States in to?

8. He’s just not a smart man

9. Why is this fat lump of orange shit getting a state visit with royal family trimmings?

10. Idk if they realize, the brand new car manufacturing facilities they hope to build will be almost fully robotized. Trump voter will hate it.

11. >“For decades, our country has been looted, pillaged, raped and plundered by nations near and far.”

    LMAO

12. Lol at high EU tariffs, hè really wants to break it up huh. No other reason for a blanket tariff without considering the smaller EU countries.

    Guess who really profits from all this.

13. Is america great and liberated yet?

14. Where is russia on this list?

15. I’m more worried about what the 35% tariff of Vietnam will do to their export-oriented economy. Unjustified cruelty.

16. Divide et impera

17. Tis but a scratch.

18. Look at the fucking state of him! I’ve seen SPAM fritters look healthier and more in control.

19. Still won’t be buying any American crap 😂

20. So, basically, everything America imports is now at least 10% more expensive.

    And that minimum 10% uplift is mainly going to be on Americans to pay.

    And that’s it?

    Keen eye on the markets tomorrow. It’s going to be…… interesting.

21. Lower only on Israel lol

22. Trump pretending he cares about US workers yet he avoids paying anyone he contracts to do work for him.It is Trump and his fellow Oligarchs that are pillaging the USA. Wake up America FFS!

23. Not on that list: Russia.

24. Krasnov

25. Cote de ivorie is on there , of all countries, but NO RUSSIA, funny that isn’t it !

26. Wow! Compared to so many other countries, he must really like them.

27. At this point this shit shouldn’t even be news because we all know that anything anybody does Orangeman will slap with tarrifs. I open the door to my room i get 20% tariffs.

28. I’m just sick of hearing about the fucker.

29. Finally! It’s the sunny uplands of Brexit we were promised in 2016.

30. Man makes people hungry whilst walking around looking like a bloody satsuma . 

31. Just wait until the Americans notice that all their temu, shein and aliexpress bullshit is suddenly 40% more expensive. They’ll also be real happy about their clothing and pharmaceuticals going up in price.

    Trump acts like the resellers will just swallow the tariffs, but they don’t . The American people will pay for this.

32. And, what exactly has the UK let alone ANY of these countries done to deserveany of this unjustified aggression and hate? Seriously Trump is a cancer that CANNOT be left untreated!

33. I’m actually very disappointed with the UK, they’re still tying to suck up to the orange fraud, rather than join like-minded allies and retaliate.
