      All this news is giving me a geopolitical tension headache and work stress fractures…

      >Mr Trump said the move will mean “lower prices for consumers” in his country and that “jobs and factories will come back”.

      He has no idea how tariffs work

      If I can play devils advocate for a second…if the EU are currently imposing tariffs on the US, why shouldn’t the US reciprocate?

      The tariffs are much harsher than expected for some. While the EU was expecting around 20%, China will be pretty shocked by a 34% tariff, and the pain doesn’t stop there. Vietnam had been a “loop hole” as Chinese manufacturers moved their factories there. Now they’ve been slapped with a 46% tariff.

      I hope the EU is in a position and willing to impose retaliatory pressure that will genuinely result in some hardship to the average US citizen in response to this.

      This stuff goes way over my head! Does it have a really big impact or just a lot of noise ?

      We are truly in the dumbest timeline. If you tariff everybody you are sanctioning yourself. This is going to destroy manufacturing in the US, causing inflation and a recession. The point of a good life is to consume not produce. If you make consumption more expensive, you decrease the quality of life of your citizens.

      In a way Ireland is safer because every other country that could compete is subjected to tariffs as well. It will take years to build up the necessary infrastructure and talent pool in the US. It will likely lead to cut backs for firms that primarily operate the US market and the lower profits mean Ireland’s tax take will reduce as well. It will cause a lot more pain in the US than for others and torpedo their fiscal objectives.

      So what all did he put on all I saw was the 20% on cars and the technology one.

      *What’s done is done,*

      *And what’s won is won,*

      *And what’s lost, is lost and gone forever.*

      In this case, the 80 years of work the US did building up their soft power and position as the economic centre of the world. Today’s biggest winners have been China.

      Looking beyond past all this.
      Who behind Trump wants to crash the US and potentially global economy?
      Is someone due to make a lot of money over this?
      There’s simply no other way this can go.

      What likely to happen in Ireland based on these announcements? Sorry, I’m not too savvy.

    19. qwerty_1965 on

      The people who burn pallet wood to keep warm in the American rust belt winter will soon discover how much poorer they’ll be.

      This is growing to be glorious. The MAGA fuckwits will believe whatever shit he feeds them but when it hits their pockets, and hits them hard, they’ll lose their shit.

      > Some countries, such as Ireland, which has a narrow trading relationship with the US that relies on highly integrated supply chains used in products such as pharmaceuticals, are found to be disproportionately at risk.

      > While Ireland experiences a small increase in exports and imports as a result of a limited Canada-Mexico-US trade war, that gain flips to a 6.6 per cent drop in exports and nearly 13 per cent fall in imports, in the event of a US-EU trade war.

      > Du said that Ireland’s less diversified trade base when compared with larger countries, which have deeper commercial relationships with China, left it more vulnerable to being “caught in the crossfire” between the world’s biggest economies.

      From the RTÉ website:

      “Donald Trump is planning further tariffs on the pharmaceutical industry, a senior White House official has said.”

      Fuck.

      Selfish me is going to Orlando next January (for now) so let the good times roll…

    25. OverHaze on

      I was expecting 25%. Still absolutely terrible for everyone.

    26. gdvs on

      Trump gives hope to all people. No matter how stupid you are, you can become the most powerful person on earth.

    27. atbng on

      All the morbidly obese Americans ain’t gonna be happy when their 6XL made in <Donald Trump voice> CHINA T-shirts are gonna quadruple in price tomorrow.

    28. HereA11Week on

      I very rarely watch any of Trump’s speeches but watched this in its entirety. Christ almighty what utter drivel. Much of it was obnoxious gobbledegook that an uneducated 14 year old would come out with.

      Watching this whole thing fall flat on its face will be absolutely glorious should it come to pass.

    29. Alternative-Canary86 on

      People from the south will start exporting through the north so as they are only charged at 10 %

    30. PapiLaFlame on

      Funny that on our island Northern Ireland will have a 10% tariff while ROI has 20%.

    32. Alternative-Canary86 on

      So we just export through the north at 10% then

    33. Historical_Flow4296 on

      I think Trump’s mind is going or he really is a Russian agent

    35. Rob-bles on

      The US will be paying a lot more for their Viagra and Botox now. All made in Ireland. Saggy d**ks and saggy faces all round. 🤣

    36. -Butcher-boy- on

      How did he speak for so long and not say anything intelligent.

    37. RedPandaDan on

      The US is frankly too stupid to exist, the EU and China should inflict tariffs not just to encourage them to drop tariffs, but to cause as much damage as possible. They cannot be allowed remain the dominant world power.

    39. hype_irion on

      How can someone who doesn’t know what a tariff or VAT is become the leader of a nuclear superpower?

    40. WolfetoneRebel on

      The yanks are currently still in the fucking around phase.

    41. TheMassINeverHad on

      I’m pretty pessimistic as it goes but when it’s laid bare it’s less of an attack on us. It’s not good obviously but we’re constantly expecting our own economic doom since the last recession, it’s not that simplex Being in the EU is massively helpful, there will be a negotiatied solution, he’s had his big day now ans will be all pulled back from there or maybe not who knows not even him

    42. kendragon on

      People were pretty shocked to find he managed to bankrupt multiple casinos which should be next to impossible so I guess he’s now going for the big prize, bankrupting an entire country.

    43. willmannix123 on

      How will this affect trade between us and the North? The North are in the EU customs union. So in theory, can’t companies in Republic of Ireland send their goods to the North and ship them from there to the US to avoid the extra 10% tarrif?
