How about NO.
Hoping this is on Trump’s targeting list for reducing of funds. As far as I care, the UN can setup shop in Paris.
How large a percentage of aggregate product value is shipping? Anyone have an idea?
$100 per ton, really? Can't accuse them of modesty.
IOW, it's a ruse for a money laundering scheme.
What does the U.N. plan to do with the funds collected, other than make connected individuals wealthy and fund corrupt Leftist programs?
President Trump should tell the U.N. one word: No.
How about illegal, unconstitutional and another reason to ditch the UN. This is nothing less than globalist piracy. They are no better than Somalian pirates.
How America plans to tell the un to stuff it
I need to commandeer this vehicle!
ummm, no.
UN threatening USA is like the boy scouts threatening the Hell’s Angels. Good luck with that....fool.
It’s going to encourage yet more at home manufacturing and boost our economy.
It won’t hurt us like they expect it to.
And yet tariffs are bad.
Trump should just re-label his tariffs as a carbon tax.
If we have electric ships with sails, windmills and solar panels, no problem!..............
Wish they would make up their mind.
Either Trump just killed all of international trade, were shipping rates would crash.
Or the reshipping of the world is going to kill international trade through high rates and shutting down international trade.
Perhaps Tariffs and shipping costs are very minor compared the retail price on the shelf. I saw a watch guy talk about how much a retail middle market imported watch would go up, he just casually said his markup was x3 the cost it took to get it into his retail store. He was insane about not cutting his margin, how is he going to feel about no sales for the next 6 months, because for a watch, suit, shoes, bag, car I am more than willing to wait out a tariff.
My counter is I can find a watch for 30 dollars and the tariff does not matter one bit. If I want a $30,000 dollar watch, I am jumping on an airplane and buying it in whatever land has no tariffs or no enforcement back to the USA. Canada and Mexico are going to be very good friends once they figure out the game going on in the short term until all the trade deals are refigured.
It is well past time to get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US.
And that “fee” is going to be passed on to the consumers. Why aren’t the far-lefties screaming for the UN third worlders head’s and burning their stuff down. This is going to cause everything to be more expensive and wreck “da conomy”. Where are the Molotov cocktails bouncing off the UN stronghold? Huh?Where are the old paid geezers with their signs and line dancers? We didn’t elect no UN bozos. They’re all foreigners and Nazis.
Carbon taxes/offsets = indulgences paid to the climate change cult
CO2 is no more a pollutant than is H2O. It is 0.004 of the atmosphere. If it increased by five times, the only difference you’d notice would be thriving plant life.
This is easily solved by the US leaving the UN, kicking them out of the US, and by the shipboard hanging for Piracy, of any UN operative that attempts to collect Tribute from a US Flagged vessel.
Is this a “good tariff” ?, I’ve lost track.
