The White House said the higher tariff is as a result of Chinese retaliation.

It’s fun to watch just how incredibly fucked America is becoming on the global scale.
It’s being led down a path of isolation by a Nazi syphilis infected rapist who acts like a toddler at nap time throwing a temper tantrum because he wasn’t able to get the juice box he wanted.
“fun” like the pejorative “fun”, right?
It’s just such an asinine way to go down.
Will probably see further movements from the PRC to sell off US treasury bonds and shifting more away from the dollar in general, along with tighter export restrictions on rare Earth. China already said they won’t keep increasing tariffs, but they seem dedicated to not backing down, and they have the Material means to actually resist US trade aggression.
What would be incredibly based is if the PRC starts paying off loans in Africa with its dollars, decoupling the Global South from the US even further. Gets rid of dollars and debt in the Global South, potentially freeing up new customers for goods produced in China and strengthening ties.
This headline is bullshit. The correct headline would be “Americans now face 245% Trump tariff on Chinese goods”. No need to spread misinformation about how tariffs work.
This is so far beyond stupid that it’s wrapped around, overshot smart, and plunged into stupid again.
Gonna need more than eight bits soon.
Doesn’t matter whether it’s a 80% (or whatever it was, basically changes on a whim) or 245%. There is no difference.
It was 145% last, before the current rate, for those curious. It only further cements your point, it no longer has real impact, importing from China is just as dead.
These numbers are absolutely wild. Has anyone made a site for tracking this madness?
Many, it’s all over the news. It seemingly changes based on emotion though, we thought it was 125% but it was really 145%.
I’ve seen a bunch of articles, each with just the latest number and a date. In order to make a nice graph out of all of them, I would need to set up some sort of webscraping project to pool the numbers together. I’ve also seen a bunch of articles that have other types of graphs and tables that don’t really answer my question. The data is out there, but it’s scattered all over the place.
Don’t know of any, sorry!
I shouldn’t be laughing but…
A post 6 hours old. I give a 50% chance, that the number is outdated.
wtf they beat the Turkish car tariffs
