I know that, I just think that if the EU charges 10% import duties, then the United States should charge the same.
What's even better though, is if both sides get rid of their import duties and tariffs all together.
Let free trade reign
Trump continues to cause chaos after chickening out.

- Start date

Reporter: "Mr. President, you emphatically stated yesterday that you would pause wearing no clothing until the world en masse kisses your ass begging for tariff relief. Yet here you are again naked in front of the world waiting, waiting for the global ass kissing."
The President Has No Clothes Trump: "Well, I don't look at it that way even though I'm still naked for the world to see. Sometimes, when you're naked for weeks waiting for the collective world to come kiss your ass and it hasn't happened yet, you continue to remain naked because there is a wall of granite around me, so they have to walk around the wall or go under it to get to my ass. So no, I'm still naked in front of whole world so the world can see who I am and it is all part of my nth level art of the deal negotiating artistry. Everything is going as planned."
Have no doubt, that dire warnings regarding an impending collapse of the bond markets caused this humiliating about face.
The thing is he is manipulating the equity markets and benefiting favored insiders.

Maybe look into Pelosi too...you guys are nitpicking...democrats Republicans who are guilty should be held accountable but don't act like this is something new...
Hmmm, so President No Clothes Market Mover Trump is tipping her off too?
How come you guys just focus your hate on one man/side? The messaging is so coordinated and any dissent is struck down. Kind of reminds me of growing up in communist China.
I just think a bit of objectivity is probably warranted. Insider trading is nothing new
Because that one man/side is responsible for these horrible decisions.
And yet, XJP makes horrible decisions that has affected the world and you guys advocate for him
October 24 1929.
Someone with a shred of sanity mentioned this date to The King of Kings, like a good little boy he promptly shit his pants. Trump is Lil Abner, Xi and Carney are Machiavelli...it doesn't look good. MAGA are going into rapture over the loss of their 401K, who the fuck needs it. I said back in 1998 that outsourcing would be the death of the North American economy. Trump thinks he can fix 30 years of damage with tariffs, good luck to him.
LMAO!

..and break down more often and have half the shelf life of most Euro/Japanese cars. Euros are not as obsessed with poorly engineered "bigly" things that make noise and belch emissions as real Americans. Think Trump would be better off by restoring all of the money he stripped from Columbia et. al. and forcing the professors and and researchers to buy Ford F-150s and Dodge Chargers with the loose change.
Biden didn't even make a single decision because he didn't show up for office and I haven't seen a single complaint from you...oh wait...I you're in Canada...
Show us where someone advocated for XJP besides this one instance of opposing Trump's foolishness. Yes I am cheering for China over Trump in this trade war. Yes, I say Trump because this is a one-man war against all other countries.
The US charges 25% import duties on light trucks, the EU charges 10%. Light trucks are 1/3 of the US market. Funny enough: 1/3*.25 + 2/3*.025 = 0.10.
The practical US tariff on vehicle imports is 10%. Thats why the EU tariff is 10%. That's why the EU is happy to go 0 for 0, because it advantages them.
Trump does not understand trade. If you need proof, listen to his words here:

Trump: It’s non monetary tariffs.. They drop the bowling ball on the top of your car from 20 feet up in the air and if there's a little dent they say no, I'm sorry, your car doesn't qualify

He's trying to explain non-monetary trade barriers. But he's explaining them like someone at the end of the line in the telephone game.
Second: non-monetary tariffs are another way of saying REGULATIONS. Sovereign nations are allowed to make their own regulations. If he wanted US manufacturers to be able to export more easily, he'd work with the EU on harmonizing regulations. KEI cars are the best selling vehicles in Japan. Many states have already banned KEI cars. If he could open up a KEI class in the US, US makers would be able to export them to Japan.
Pretending that regulations are tariffs shows an absolute clown-show level of understanding of economics, trade, engineering, manufacturing, and everything in between. This is a deeply ignorant man who is trying to use the "might" of the US at a time when the world can already move on from them.
He's the drunk husband yelling "Hey come back here! I'll show you what's what!" after she's taken the car and is already a block away.

The S&P is down 5.5% from six months ago, and 9.5% from its peak in February. Burning $100 and then finding $90 is not winning.
It is amazing how the Maga board crowd living on Canadian soil still sticks up for the orange POS.
But when you take the total sales of all vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses.....etc, the EU still exports far more EU vehicles to the US, than the US exports to the EU
