He is reintroducing separate tariffs on electronics. That is why I say to wait beofre making predictions because this retard government changes sides everyday or they are plain slow in communication
i think hes just correcting a single mistake, idk what else do you think he is flip flopping about
Why was such a mistake even made ? It's not like they are running out of time. What is stopping them from sitting down and calmly thinking out the process out and then executing it properly. All this does is add more uncertainty. Why should anyone trust what he says ? He could be milder in his words
we already agreed that he fucked up? you said he was "flip flopping again", what was the former flip flop?
When he announced a pause immediately after announcing new reciprocal tariffs. If the countries are coming to the negotiation table can't he wait at least some time before blindly announcing tariffs on any country and then threatening to increase them ? His own trade secretary was arguing in favor of tariffs in the House of Representatives before someone informed him that the tariffs were paused. Even his own personnel dont know the full picture
i dont think thats really flip flopping, hes rewarding good behavior on countries that dont reciprocate, really simple. he can also afford going heavy on china that way instead of fighting 10 fronts
My point is he could have at least waited before introducing more tariffs. Let the countries think out the base tariffs. His administration is so quick paced on this that the trade Secretary didnt know about these developments.
literally why would he do that? "let your enemies think of a strategy before attacking"
What enemies ? Do you seriously believe apart China any country has the balls to take on USA ? Nobody in any country who is smart believes that. They act tough but cave in eventually. They were coming on the negotiating table with the base tariffs anyway. Introducing increased tariffs and then scrapping them quickly was a waste of time when it could have been utilised to come up with a plan on how to further squeeze China
Yet Lutnick was on television today saying they would implement tariffs on semi conductor components from China soon.
All that is needed is to sit down and thunk this through. Only 250 days and they are acting like these are his last days.
Yes and it will apparently cover imports that are currently under tariff exemption.
They are eroding a non countable commodity : trust. Hard to build once again
True. I donβt even believe Lutnik at this point.
Who to even believe ? No one makes sense. Everyone is saying outdated nonsense because the plans have changed by the time Trump says something
