Tariffs Catch-All

[nycfan]

I have a question - does “aligning” with BRICS policies include being a BRICS country? Because that would mean tariffs on Russia when none were announced on April 2 …

Also, does that mean +10% on India? China? South Africa? Brazil? Iran? UAE? Indonesia? Egypt?

So, Trump is more cognizant than Sleepy Joe……he just has his answering flunky next to him.

I just think we shouldn’t sublease factories in other countries to produce what we buy. The world is turning a little more introspective, and self sufficiency as much as you can get is a good thing.

That’s not what you said, though. You said we would end up “with better trade deals.”
Tariffs mean we will pay more. All throughout history until now, paying more for the same product would normally be seen as a bad deal.

I wonder which Trump Administration officials/friends/family are shorting the market today?
