Trump tariffs announcements live updates: Trump unveils sweeping reciprocal tariffs, set at 'approximately half of what they charge us' ("dirty 15")
Firstpost ^ | Apr 3, 2025

Posted on 04/02/2025 1:58:23 PM PDT by Milagros

Trump's reciprocal tariffs aim to address what the Trump administration views as persistent and unfair trade imbalances, targeting specifically the 'Dirty 15,' a group of nations including China, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Germany, and India, among others. Countries such as Canada and Mexico have already voiced their readiness to counteract, while India, Japan, and China seek diplomatic routes to soften the blow and protect their economic interests.

A world economy built on debt that makes us all slaves to central banks maybe?

I never thought I’d live to see the day that an American president actually advocated for Americans on the world stage. It’s somewhat staggering.

Invest your money in domestic production.

It will pay off bigly.

Just listening to him...his knowledge and most of it is practical "life learned"...beginning with his life at the Military Academy, his father teaching him the ropes in the ways of "applied" business. And his own motivation to succeed....AND DO GOOD THINGS...like the NYS Skating rink...the skyline buildings in NY...the rehabilitation of the Old Post Office in DC and the challenge of the first administration.

Pretty amazing guys...and here I am....not feeling one bit inferior to this wonderful man who became one of the most patriotic men in the history of our country.

Thank you God...he is indeed a gift.

I see it as even his attack sets the stage for compromise. he was going to do 1:1. Instead he meets them halfway in his opening salvo.

Very good. Celebratory. No questions from the turd-in-punchbowl press.
How often did Obama do things like this? He definitely rationed his appearances that worked in his favor. His limited exposure made his fans clamor for more, totally unlike Trump.

Negotiation strategy. He can always up them if they won’t play right.

It’s to get them to the table.

Mostly half of what others are charging us with a minimum of 10% which matches the lowest of what others charge.
