China hates paying U.S. tariffs. They miss the good ol days of paying Biden directly.

The value of one nation’s markets should never go uncompensated. “Cost, Value, Benefit” is an important reality. If the goods, commodities, and services you have to offer are in high demand, others will need to pay a premium to access those things.

What we were doing wasn’t working. I’m still a positive wait and see. I will admit it if I’m wrong.

Give it time, the cost will trickle down to the consumer. $300 billion in new tariffs offset by $300 billion in new tax reductions. A new brand of Net Zero.

For 30 years, I worked at a commodity producer.
One that had a 95% lock on market share.

On every pricing call, our biggest concern was raising the price to such an extent that it would create competition.

People that are being tariffed will absorb the costs

Every prediction about what would happen as a result of Trump’s tariffs was wrong.

Another article talking about Tariffs that haven't been in place yet. We still don't have tariff implementation yet. Trump paused Chinese tariffs again for 90 days at 10%. Lets see how the economy responds once we have complete reciprocal or set tariffs in place for more than a week.

The article does mention that the dollar has been taken to the woodshed since January, that isn't a great thing for savers and regular Americans.
