    Summary

    Global leaders criticized Trump’s new tariffs, which range from 10% to 49%, warning of trade wars and economic fallout.

    The UK and Italy urged negotiation, while Brazil passed a reciprocity bill. China and South Korea vowed countermeasures.

    Australia and New Zealand rejected Trump’s logic, citing existing trade deals and low tariffs. Norfolk Island was baffled by a 29% duty despite having no exports.

    Financial markets dropped, oil and bitcoin sank, and leaders warned of inflation. Analysts say Trump risks fracturing global trade with little to gain economically.

    It's illogical to expect an illogical man to act logically.

    Someone like trump needs hit first to avoid a confrontation.

      If I was Prime Minister, I'd impose a retaliatory tariff of 9000% just because it's all just this stupid.
      Call it the Goku tariffs, but drag it out over an hour or two with a lot of screaming.

            Call a press conference, build up to announcing the 9000% tariff but then end the conference promising to come back next week and make the announcement.

                    "No basis in logic"

                    No shit, this whole administration has no basis in logic. Just look at Project 2025 and the progress they've made on it in a little over 2 months.

                      1. Order tariffs
                      2. Make everything more expensive for everyone everywhere
                      3. Piss off the entire world and invite countermeasures
                      4. ??????????????

                        and the price of bitcoin dropped 4.4%.

                        I cannot express how much I hate that this appears in a serious economic article.

                          Shortly after Trump’s announcement, the British government said the United States remains the U.K.’s “closest ally.”

                          I'm sorry TERF island, that's not gonna keep Trump from stabbing you in the back too.

                                      ok, then...

                                      i have a huge trade deficit with walmart.

                                      i buy way more from them than they do from me ($1200-1500 a year vs $0); just like the u.s. buys more from many countries than those countries buy from the u.s.

                                      like the leaky diaper's new tariffsimport tax, i should charge myself a ridiculously high extra tax on purchases from walmart until they buy $1200-1500 a year of some mythical product from me to even out the 'unfair' imbalance?

                                      yea. that'll work.

                                          Summary

                                          Global leaders criticized Trump’s new tariffs, which range from 10% to 49%, warning of trade wars and economic fallout.

                                          The UK and Italy urged negotiation, while Brazil passed a reciprocity bill. China and South Korea vowed countermeasures.

                                          Australia and New Zealand rejected Trump’s logic, citing existing trade deals and low tariffs. Norfolk Island was baffled by a 29% duty despite having no exports.

                                          Financial markets dropped, oil and bitcoin sank, and leaders warned of inflation. Analysts say Trump risks fracturing global trade with little to gain economically.
