In reply to MXT. Completely irrelevant if it leads to good projects when behaving like pigs towards honest people. Do as in the donation registry, let people decide for themselves before it's too late where the money should go.

In reply to Lynx.

That might be the case.

Trump is right, many will become rich and well-fed… if they stay close to him and get information about what he just came up with to change, American roulette deluxe.

Who knows, not you….

In reply to johan No.1. So far, all tariffs are at 10%, even Australia. The USA exports more to Australia than Australia does to the USA.

In reply to MXT. It was probably the sale of US treasury bonds that did this. Trump just blinked.

It's not so strange that he leaves the tariffs in place for the countries that have already responded with tariffs, is it?
Or did you mean something else?

President Zelenskyy , April 9, evening video. There was a military cabinet: detailed reports by Syrsky, Hnatov, and Drapaty. All directions, all parts of the front. Our positions, the necessary supplies, and manning. The maximum possible to stabilize the situation, for our active actions and for our active diplomacy. Today we also discussed with the Minister of Defense of Ukraine the preparations for Ramstein, which is scheduled for Friday. The number one priority is air defense, especially missile defense and ballistic missile defense. Ukraine needs at least ten systems that are sufficiently effective against Russian ballistic missiles - the Patriots are the best at this. We have spoken repeatedly with the American side, with everyone in Europe who can help. We are counting on a solution. This day alone, there have already been several air alerts across the country due to the threat of ballistic missiles. In some parts of our country, people are actually living under the threat of such strikes all the time. And right now, the world is short of political solutions to protect life, not the systems themselves. There are systems in the world. Even "patriots" are enough to guarantee protection from Russian terror once and for all. But this is a decision of politicians, a decision of partners.

In reply to johan No.1. Yes, if the USA had imposed tariffs only on China, not only would the counter-tariffs have garnered greater sympathy from the international community, but they would also have prompted the world to start trading more with China. You had already predicted, even before the broad tariff shock, that the EU would approach China and vice versa. Maybe Trump read your blog? Because now the actual effect is that China stands isolated and no country comes to China's aid. The EU's approach to China, as you pointed out, has been proven wrong.

In reply to johan No.1.

The EU has previously intervened and imposed tariffs on certain products, including within the automotive industry (or was it within bicycles and LEVs – light electric vehicles). As protection for domestic industry.

The fact that Trump has targeted China but has taken broad actions may have to do with not wanting to single out China but at the same time expecting a reaction under these circumstances, which they got with the countermeasures, where China stood out, and then they struck hard, while at the same time now turning their guns on other countries. In this way, isolating China from sympathetic actions.
Perhaps China suspected that they were the main target?

Does this include Russia, which imports Chinese cars (and golf carts)?

Maybe it’s just that Mr. Donald wants to take power over the whole world?? Strike wildly in all directions and see where it is weakest….
Just a tired thought on this evening.
