We were charging China nothing before the 34% tariff and I noticed that all the countries that are in the habit of charging us high tariffs are only being hit back with 50% reciprocal tariffs and believe this is to temporarily lesson the blow to their economies due to this change.If I understand this chart correctly, China has been charging us 67% for our goods going there while with these new tariffs we will be charging China 34%. Is that correct?
No. Are you going to feel foolish when the USA thrives and you find yourself on the wrong side of history?You mean Happy Annihilation Day (of the US economy) don't you?![]()
You are delusional. It didn’t work the last time he dipped his toe in this ridiculous solution that bankrupt farmers during his last term in office….and now he has just made enemies that will usher in democrats back into the government. How strategically he has planned for another disaster. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion.No. Are you going to feel foolish when the USA thrives and you find yourself on the wrong side of history?![]()

I disagree and history proves this a foolish stupid move. I feel sorry for those who have 401k savings accounts. Take a look at the stock market …yea, pray, pray on your knees and pray long & hard! You are goin for a ride!Trump and Musk have said that if we don't stop the rest of the world from robbing us, and take a rein to spending, our government will be bankrupt. The candy is being taken from the babies and they are crying bloody murder.
No other president would tackle this problem. Thank God He gave us Donald Trump.
It might get tight for a while, but we have no choice but to take action. We've got the right man in the WH to do it.

Yeah. I was hoping someone could explain this on here too. I was shocked to see the tariffs other countries were putting on us and then I read in the WSJ that they are using some math to come up with those numbers that would make the Gates Foundation proud. They are doing something with the trade deficit being taken into the calculation as well. This does not mean that these other countries are flat out adding on the percentage of the cost shown on the chart to each good we export to them.@Benjamin, Can you simply explain the chart to one who flunked Economics 101?
(use China as the example).
If I understand this chart correctly, China has been charging us 67% for our goods going there while with these new tariffs we will be charging China 34%. Is that correct?
in the case of some little African country where most people have no money and they supply us with gum Arabic or something mined I don't see why we should demand that they have a balanced trade deficit with us. They have no ability to do that.
Methinks that you are leftist listening and are as uninformed as the rest of them.You are delusional.

Yeah. That's what I hear too. Somebody, one of the experts on TV, was saying that for example Japan holds tons of us dollars and they were going to be asked to take some of that and purchase very long term US debt in exchange for reducing the tariffs. I have noticed there are a lot of experts on TV.There's going to be a ton of negotiations that comes out of this. Be patient, wait and see.
