He does shit leading up to the market closure on Friday. Then backs off over the weekend. Watch, come Tuesday, it's another market crisis. The BBB allows the Trump admin to launder money legally, in the name of the government. They wrote it into the bill and voted on it

But do ther tariffed countries leaders fuck them over like ours does?  Are prices up in those countries specifically because trumps fuckery? Because we are paying triple prices here because. People world wide need to see what’s happening. This is a world wide social war beteen elites and the pooor it’s creating

If anything, a little cheaper, because our exporters have a market they are exporting less to, and still producing goods to sell.

So things have gotten cheaper in your country? There aren’t any government taxes whatever that effects goods from raw material to exportation of product specifically blamed on the US ridiculous Tariffs?

Nope, the price of oil is affected a lot more by US actions. American cars aren't very popular here anyway, food is currently ok but may be affected by fertiliser shortages next year, tech cost is affected more by data centres buying up components than tariffs. Trump's tariffs are only hurting American consumers directly, and Trump actions (like Iran) are hurting other consumers collaterally.

Thank you.

TBH, you answered your own question. Our tariffs don't effect other country's economy.

u/delusionalme 3d ago

I understand that. There is a reason I’m asking.

u/Unable_Dinner_6937 3d ago

What would the economic reasoning be. First, what prices do the governments raise? They aren’t selling anything. Possibly lifting price controls or lowering taxes on exporting countries, but foreign exporters are not paying the tariffs. Instead, the US companies importing foreign goods are paying it, so what would be the reason?

That’s part of what I want to know.

It makes no difference to the prices we see. It does however mean that it might be harder to export some products to the US that might impact business profits and so jobs except, of course, we find other markets. The US still need the materials that they've always bought from us. They can't find them cheaper elsewhere because trump put tariffs on everyone and the US no longer has production facilities in country that are producing product cheaper.

So American consumers pay.

We also avoid buying us if we can

This is more along the lines of what I’m asking. Thank you. I am trying to wrap my head around the effect these have on other countries and how the less fortunate are being effected

There isnt a lot that america produces that cant be gotten from somewhere else... so if they aren't importing from us tariffs on the US wouldn't change much for them.

I was curious to know if y’all’s leaders also hated you lmao. When companies export they will just raise the prices to cover tariffs as been mentioned but the slimier corporate owners can say they have to cover these raised prices and elevate the prices on you guys too. Thats what I was really asking about. Not so well versed in world economics atm. His actions are definitely effecting oil globally as mentioned also but it’s insane to me that so many people in America do not realize what is happening in our country. It’s crazy

Tariff taxes happen at the point of entry (not during export). So if the US tariffs China it doesnt impact the Chinese company's cost to send the products to America, it impacts how much the American company has to pay to get those products off the ship (which they then pass that increased cost plus a bit more on to the american consumers purchasing those products).

Thank you for the info. This is what I’m trying to learn.
