Live updates: Trump announces sweeping tariffs

Reminder that after setting the political stage for the Khmer Rouge to take power with the carpet-bombing of Cambodia, the US Government continued to recognize Pol Pot as its rightful ruler all the way through to the early 1990s, simply because the actual Cambodian government of the 80s was installed with Vietnam's help.
The USA seems to be on an never-ending quest to fuck Indochina over for no fucking reason.

Imagine people in 2150 praising the visionary and benevolent president Trump who courageously lead our world to the only possible path in order to save the environment:
"He fooled them all with his "drill baby drill" and they fell for it, they elected him. Of course some were suspicious that something was off, but he had a grand plan for nature to finally be restored..."I would love to read this fiction, because reality is quite sad at the moment.

Cave about what though?

UK is also 10% like the rest of world. Why was it mentioned seperately? It's not like Russia is a small country.

Yep, they just took the trade deficit to each country and turned it into a tariff
