Trump announces 50% tariff on Brazil over Bolsonaro trial, 'unfair' trade
-
50% on Brazil, same as China. What is so stupid is that it is completely obvious that Trump doesn't have a cohesive strategy for his tariffs. Rather, they're just a convenient weapon he can wield as a bully. Why should any American not want a country to criminally prosecutes their corrupt former leader, let alone pay higher taxes on goods as a result? Eventually, this raising of taxes on Americans with tariffs on foreign goods will have a bigly negative impact on the U.S. economy.
Don't forget that Brazil is one of the few countries that the US has a positive trade imbalance with. The stated goal of the tariffs was always balancing trade, this is explicitly political strong-arming.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah, I feel somewhat guilty for trumpposting, but threatening Brazil for handling with its own internal politics is the lowest of the low for any country. Disgusting, even for him.
I'd just try to replace every USA import with a chinese equivalent if I were Lula and divert e.g. meat exports to China and the EU. That would be fun to watch https://www.datamarnews.com/noticias/brazils-beef-exports-to-the-u-s-soar-by-498-despite-trumps-tariffs/ muricans without hamberders.

Whatever TACO.

On the upside, the rest of the world seems to be decoupling, selling bonds, and generally just avoiding the US so hopefully the Economic nuke dropped on them will have minimal fallout on the rest of us.
I say "minimal fallout" knowing it is going to be a fucking disaster for everyone, but hoping for the best.

Remember the kids who rode the short bus to school? Once in a while, some of these kids would be in your class and sometimes they'd have an episode. Everyone would ignore them and let them settle down.
That's America to the rest of the world now. Trump has made America the kids on the short bus.

He’s trying to interfere in other country’s legal systems now.
Isn’t just fucking with America enough for this dipstick?

The US have been doing that for a long time. Think of the DMCA or even the first opium conference (1910). Trump is just loudmouthedly open about it instead of talking between the lies. And, of course, everyone in his right mind hates him.

He'll never admit it. He'll blame immigrants or the gays or the trans or the woke or the Jews or the liberals or Biden or Obama or the Clintons.
Never himself.

Because we don't criminally prosecute our corrupt former leaders, we re-elect them.

Tropico has ceased trading with a certain major superpower! The Palace's statement? 'They don't trade fair, so neither will we.'

It's more insane than that. 55% is only on certain items from China. Most are at 35%. So effectively Brazil would be higher. The craziest is they're higher for purposes of political interference from USA...

Gee whiz, don’t you miss the days when the US government was more covert in their interference in Latin American countries’ affairs? The CIA contracted out their dirty work or had no-name agents do it for them. At least it’s as plain as day.
I hope California and Cascadia can secede before the US gets its nasty karma. Not all of us should pay.
