The US has imposed new tariffs on 60 trading partners in the latest escalation in the trade war reignited by US President Donald Trump when he returned to office last year.
Those targeted, including the UK, China and the European Union, will face a tariff of 10% to 12.5% on all goods, accounting for almost all American imports.
The tariffs, which replace an identical levy which expires on Friday, are based on claims key economic partners have failed to properly tackle forced labour.
Just fucking die already America. The world fucking hates all of you. Fat fucking fascist cowards.
“US hits it’s own citizens for satisfying their need for foreign goods in latest illegal tariff fuck up by rapist president.” There, I fixed it for you
It is just market manipulation. Conservatives have no values, ethics, nor morals.
Such total and utter bollocks. The orange turd is desperate to distract from both the Epstein Files and the pointless Iran war.
Since when has the USA been concerned about people’s welfare (forced labour) when they have snatch squads on the streets; detention centres to hold kids; shooting civilians.
If the USA doesn’t want to trade then grow a pair of balls and just say it.
Trump making Putin happy again. Fucking loser.
USA is using prison labour (slavery). Their prison population is comprised out of millions of people.
I’m also imposing tariffs on US products and services at home, but I’m much more radical 65 to 80% reduction at this time.
The pot calling the kettle black?
Maybe the president should worry more about his own jurisdiction:

- Forced prison labor in the “Land of the Free”
- Modern American Slavery: Forced Prison Labor

There are many sources reporting essentially the same. There may be some bias or exaggeration among opponents of the practices, but with so many sources it seems unlikely that all the reports are fabricated lies.
It’s just an excuse in an attempt to placate the judges. They don’t really believe that.
“Today’s action will begin to correct what is both a human rights abuse and distortive trade practice to improve the welfare of workers everywhere,” US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said.
Imagine saying with a straight face from the U.S. of all places that they think the UK and EU need to improve the welfare of their workers. I understand it is related to the forced labor goods coming from China but holy.
Lashing out because he was edited out of a photo

He’s such a twat isn’t he
A big part of the tyrants’ power over people is how tiring they are. They wear everybody down into acceptance.
Lol, only harms his own subjects and not the countries he’s trying to win one over on
My favorite feature of US foreign policy.
It evidently, clearly, and repeatedly hasn’t worked… so let’s keep doing it. (For decades, probably.)
And even better, that thinking is bipartisan because no we elect has enough integrity to admit they were wrong and change course, at least not since Lyndon Johnson. (And even he was a-okay to keep the bipartisan pain going on many aspects of American politics.)
That this inflicts pain on the American people doesn’t even register with our elected leaders. We’re irrelevant.
“Trading partners” is outdated nomenclature. Now its vassals/subservients and enemies.
