Trump Vows To Retaliate EU 50% Tariff, Calls Union 'Most Hostile In The World" (17183 Views)

Daddyk87:Do you even know the meaning of parasite? Europe failed to develop its defense industry because of the politics of the cold war. US does not protect Europe from Russia. There was an alliance led by the US to contain the Soviet Union which was successful. The alliance was formed at the behest of US. But the dumb Trump and his ers don't understand. Give it 10 years, US defense industry will be a shadow of itself as it loses Europe, its largest customer. Now that the US have proven unstable even other countries will start preparing for the scenario where they are extorted or abandoned at the time they need important parts for their US supplied weapons. 11 Likes 5 Shares |

Americans should drink their whiskey. EU countries should drink their wines. Everyone rests. I hope the tariff won't affect the whiskies coming into Abuja? Cos our oga 120 years old whiskey master needs something to charge his brain since Fubara is still alive.😂😂😂😂😂 4 Likes 1 Share |

Trump hates the strong bargaining power of the EU in matters pertaining to the global economy. As it is, the EU is the only thing stopping him from going for total worldwide domination, where he barks at everyone with no one to stand up to him.

Trump will only stop when the Americans start feeling the impact of his tariffs. I understand what he's trying to do to make sure Americans only patronize made in American goods and services but you cannot isolate yourself from the world. Trade does not work that way. Trade works with partnership agreements. There is a reason why it is cheaper to produce laptops, cars and other gadgets in China or Asia. Even clothes are made in Thailand, Indonesia and India because it is cheaper there. Can Americans afford their own products? E get why Apple moved production to China. We shall see. 7 Likes |

CodeTemplar: First off it is tariff not Tarrif . Valid point made but sir , that is not all . Hefty tariffs hurt businesses a lot . Why do you think Nigerian Auto sellers are all out making ads ? Because of the increased fees . You have to be really comfortable to buy a toks car nowadays . The point is while businesses will these tariffs down to the consumers , the consumer size for those imported brands will greatly shrink and other local brands with no tariffs will greatly benefit . Eg imagine coke because of increased tariffs suddenly becomes 1000 Naira per bottle . If they have a steady 50 buyers , they will reduce to 20 . The other 30 will look for cheaper alternatives . In comes Zigi carbonated drinks . Sales for Zigi goes up because they don’t have to deal with the tariffs . So technically the USA will make a lot of money from the foreign companies while US companies will have improved local sales . The foreign businesses will lose market share and may have to restrategize by opening plants in the US if they want to keep their market shares . Almost same thing happened to our furniture industry in Nigeria . 2 Likes |

jaxxy: Empty-head, Trump is turning America into a FIFTH world country before your eyes. At this rate, in 4 years’ time Americans would WISH they were from Benin Republic. Their stock market is crashing, the idiot has started a senseless, stupid tariff war, and is threatening to annex Canada, and invade Panama and Greenland, while inflation is out of control, and economists are forecasting not a recession, but a DEPRESSION. Many Americans are now FLEEING the country, with many blacks headed for Africa. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

NICOGRAVITY: It will backfire bro. EU / Canada and the West have the mental and infastructural capacity to create a new block that will fully challenge and edge out the US centralization and dominance. China / Russia and some others is another fragment on its own. And those countries alone via BRICS have capacity to establish an effective alternative trading system. As you stated, I believe one of the major reasons he is forcefully trying to acquire Canada is for strategic economic and population expansion. He believes that is what is making China and gradually India unstoppable in the global leadership tussle. 3 Likes 1 Share |

RaySimran: Dear Trump, I like you because you take no nonsense and put God first but your actions is worrisome in recent times. I don't want to type much on this but don't be a stupid man who is engaged in tit for tat business. It won't make American great again in anyway because this thing will eventually go beyond wines, whiskeys whatever...Like an excellent woman who builds her house, be a wise man and build bridges, not destroy them. 1 Like |

papyjaypaul: And this is why China keeps winning US . Cheap labour, no stringent environmental laws and strategic devaluation of the china yuan. Also low tariffs that enables them to flood countries with all kinds of products killing off local industries.This is also why Nigeria is in the mess it is . Nigerians developed an addiction for foreign goods that helped to destroy our local markets . Something has to be done to remove that addiction. Especially in the critical industries of the country 6 Likes 1 Share |

author=cathodekazim post=134522155]And then European nations retaliate with their own 250% tariffs on U.S. goods. Who bears the brunt of this trade war? Certainly not the politicians making these decisions, but the everyday citizens who rely on these goods and services. Trump, in his usual fashion, seems to believe that the United States is immune to consequences—as if the global economy operates in a vacuum. He envisions a world where America dictates without repercussions, forgetting that international trade is a two-way street. What goes around always comes around. If the U.S. slaps excessive tariffs on other nations, those nations will respond in kind, and in the end, it's the consumers and businesses that suffer from rising prices and economic instability. But beyond Trump’s flawed approach, this escalating tariff war should serve as a wake-up call for all nations. Too many countries have built their economies on dependencies, relying on imports for essential goods rather than investing in self-sufficiency. This kind of over-reliance has made them vulnerable to the whims of global politics. Instead of constantly playing defense in trade wars, nations should focus on strengthening their industries, producing what they need, and reducing their dependence on any single country. The world needs balanced trade, not economic brinkmanship driven by ego. If leaders continue to treat international trade like a game of dominance, the people will continue to pay the price. [/quote] Certainly the world has woken up to reality, everyone has started planning to do things according to his resources, Tinubu still said it 1 month ago. Wen the man finally leaves office, only a few would still be look up into America as saviour. 2 Likes 1 Share |
