Why did they even think negotiating would help? All it did was show weakness.
VAT is applied to all products, domestic and imported. It is not a tariff.
Lutnick wants to reshore everything. Bessent wants more fair trade deals and is starting to sound like Bernie Sanders(“top 10% own…”.) Navarro wants to burn it all down. Elon wants a robust free trade partnership. It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out.

Look, for far too long, most countries have used US consumption to grow their economies and that gives US immense leverage to be a d**k to others
It’s Time for non US countries to leave that behind and stimulate domestic consumption
because then you control the rules, you have a bigger say in the game and ultimately you are more resilient to the whims of Bible Belt/rust belt voters and people like elon musk and Peter theil
Not possible to even out the trade deficit between USA and Vietnam, doesnt matter the tariffs. As this seems to be the agenda of agent orange, negotiating with him isnt going anywhere. The world should ignore him and stop negotiating. The damage is done, everyone keep moving without USA.
i sell you a tomato. it costs 50 cents. you sell me a computer it costs $1000. how is that fair? you’ve scammed me!
that’s the stupidity the trumps are trying to argue. they didn’t even get their formula correct… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j04IAbWCszg

They’ll be complaining that regulations are a trade barrier next week. They’ll argue that they are a barrier for entry designed specifically to keep Americans out of the market, with their less-regulated and likely less good quality goods. I guarantee it!
You mean Peter Navarro, the guy who had to make up an imaginary economist to quote for support of his hair brained tariff ideas? Peter Navarro, the guy Jared Kushner found by googling “China Economic Policy” and going with the first result he thought his father in law could use for an economic plan? That rube?
Member how Kushner found this guy by looking on Amazon for a book he liked the title of. Navarro was the author of the book. He’s literally mentally handicapped.
Because appeasing the nazis worked out perfectly last time /s
These greedy ideologues are out for money and power, there is no negotiating with them. In fact, their history is unequivocal that every concession they squeeze is treated as a sign of weakness and a green light to squeeze harder. Nations needs to stand their ground now, or they’ll get steamrolled.
Bending over like Vietnam has done is nothing more than wishful thinking. The results are already in.
Every country on earth should be looking for as many non-US trading partners as possible right now to replace US trading. Because the US isn’t going to give them any deals and the people of the US in the future won’t have money to buy your stuff anyway.
Peter Navarro is a washed-up quack who makes up his own “experts” to cite in his psychotic books. He’s either too dumb or too narcissistic to use anything other than a naked anagram of his own name for this made-up character.
