The United States said on Tuesday that 104 per cent duties on imports from China will take effect shortly after midnight, even as the Trump administration moved to quickly start talks with other trading partners targeted by U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff plan.
I read today that one of his secretaries said that China had miscalculated, because China exports roughly four times as much to the U.S. as the U.S. imports to China, and he said that that makes the U.S. a lot stronger than China, that it would give the U.S. a better bargaining position.
That’s like a wealthy family in a small town saying they can outlast the grocery store if the grocery store decides to stop selling food to you.
It’s crazy,
But Trump is probably stupider than what the Onion was able to imagine!
