#Russia is missing from #Trump 's new, stupid #tariff list, while Ukraine is penalized with 10% tariffs. However, still last year the #USA imported more goods from Russia than from #Ukraine (3 billion $US compared to 1.2 billion $US). The U.S. #president ( #POTUS ) wages #trade #war against the entire #world ,except Russia. A new advantage for #Putin .

So…Trump literally asked AI how to set tariffs?

And it came up with their trade deficit / imports formula.

What’s next? Ask Grok about our nuclear deterrent posture?

Yet again, this prick continues to live in everyone's head. If there was ever a right time for the global community to come together properly, it is now. Unfortunately, we have no choice other than enormous pressure where it hurts the US most - its economy. American people have a very tough road ahead of them and for those who did not want this, we should support them as much as possible.

Effect of Trump's tariffs will be a strengthening of the EU. Trade policy is delegated by member states to the EU so they are in the drivers seat. Also the importance of the EU as a tariff-free economic zone will increase for the world and it's member states.

Not the first one to point this out #tariffs #taxation #trade #routes

Keir Starmer is claiming the 10% tariff imposed by Trump in his Liberation Day speech is a vindication of the UK's 'quiet diplomacy' as its half that imposed on the EU, while quietly not mentioning that UK car & steel exports will (it seems) be hit with 25% tariffs...

Starmer will continue to offer up concessions, not least a more favourable tax treatment for Big Tech in the new Digital Service Tax, but Trump seldom makes a deal that is favourable to the counter-party!
