The fresh duties, announced by China’s Ministry of Finance, levy a 15% tax on certain types of coal and liquefied natural gas and a 10% tariff on crude oil, agricultural machinery, large-displacement cars and pickup trucks. The measures take effect on February 10.

The Ministry of Commerce and China’s customs administration also announced new export controls effective immediately on more than two dozen metal products and related technologies. Those include tungsten, a critical mineral typically used in industrial and defense applications, as well as tellurium, which can be used to make solar cells.
 
Trump’s tariffs cost me about $7k yesterday (a lot more if you factor in what we should all being making during a bull market).
His tariffs cost me about $600 per month in interest payments on my home.
So, almost $10k so far.
Hilarious, right @HeelYeah2012?

Luckily, he is also planning to raise my taxes and probably cut my social security. Maybe some uniformed snarky comments from people who admit they don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to current events would help my mood.
 
I'd be curious to see how many of those fiscally positive trying to come here are turned down and for what reasons.

Trump is an amazing negotiator. He leveraged Canada to implement plans that it agreed to last year:giggle:

It will turn into a shit show, Canada will agree to some marginal change that is irrelevant to how the countries interact, ala sending deportees on military planes instead of civilian ones, and the MAGA idiots like ramrouser and calla will pleasure themselves while they bleat about how Trump owned them Canucks!

So predictable as I posted back when these tariffs were announced. These MAGA idiots have such a high tolerance for accepting obvious bullshit.

Wait, they agreed to do this without Trump threatening to shoot himself in the dick?
I’m starting to think there are better ways to negotiate with allies than threatening them with a Global recession.

You count one day "paper losses" in your investment account or retirement account as an actual loss? Are you liquidating your accounts today? The market will bounce back.
As I posted earlier, Wells and other industry experts predict mortgage rates will fall to 6.1-6.3% by the end of the year. You should be mad at Biden as his inflationary spending caused rates to rise in the first place.
No politician is going to "cut" social security payments - that's political suicide. Might as well worry about an asteroid hitting your house.
 


Is the Administration seeking a justification to use military force (bombs or troops?) in Mexico against Mexican drug cartels? I mean, sure, maybe in a vacuum that sounds outlandish, but that is something Trump floated many times during his campaign.

Could also just be PR preening but sounds ominous.

 
Weren't there all sorts of legal vacuums and issues with terrorist detainees sent to Gitmo?

I'm not sure they thought this through. The cost of holding thousands of detainees there alone will be an issue.
