Trump's tariffs list is missing one big country: Russia​



“… Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Axios Wednesday that Russia was left off because U.S. sanctions already "preclude any meaningful trade."

However, the U.S. still trades more with Russia than with countries like Mauritius or Brunei that did make Trump's tariffs list.

  • Even remote island territories like Tokelau (pop. 1,500) in the South Pacific and Svalbard (pop. 2,500) in the Arctic Circle — territories of New Zealand and Norway, respectively —were listed for tariffs.
  • However, Leavitt noted that Cuba, Belarus and North Korea were also not included because existing tariffs and sanctions on them are already so high.

Finally shit can hit the fan so the idiots will see what's about to happen to their pocketbooks. 15% inflation perhaps?

It will take inflation, because most of his cult doesn't invest in the markets.

As much as I hate to see anyone suffer, I don't feel sorry for the cult members that voted for him that are going to now have to get a 4th job.
 
I’m quite surprised Trump opted to go this heavy. He blew an absolute layup.

Announce tariffs that aren’t as bad as worst case scenario and you get the win-win. Trump would get his beloved tariffs and the market would soar because they have some certainty and it’s not as bad as feared.
 
I have no evidence of course, but if Trump & Company were deliberately trying to destroy the USA and its influence in the world for the benefit of Russia they couldn't be doing a better job of it. I mean, Putin has got to be loving every moment of this.
 
Sorry if this has been covered
The senate voted today to say we are not in a financial crisis-thus orangeturd does not have authority to put up tariffs. If it goes to the House it WILL pass also. So speaker Johnson made up a new rule. All house proceedings this year wil be considered one day-from here on
Because if a motion is brought up -say the Senate Tariff bill-the Speaker does not have to allow a vote on it-but after X days it gets voted on
So for the rest of the session there will not be X days-just a continuation of today. So there will be no vote.
For the first time I now hope the Stock Market crashes over the tariffs-and we can all point a finger at Johnson. Hopefully before it is too prolonged

Was this for the new tariffs or just the Canadian fentanyl tariffs?

Johnson needs to be impeached and removed from his position for failing to do his job.

Among many other terrible things, this administration is filled to the rafters with nothing but trolls. As long as they feel like they're owning the libs, immigrants, and foreigners (except for Russians, our new besties) 24/7 nothing else seems to matter.

Not even close to that. Maybe headline inflation for April and June will be very high. The annual estimates I've seen are from +150 bps to +550 bps. By plus, I mean in addition to the baseline rate of about 2.5%.

It doesn't matter, because Trump can and would veto the resolution.
 
Presumably if such a resolution passed the Senate - it would do so with significant GOP support and would pass the veto threshold.
