but it wasn't working the way it was.. What "wasn't working", and why? Every country has tariffs on everything we ship to them This is simply not true. Australia has no Tariff's on U.S. products, but they still got hit. Vietnam has a 1% or 2% tariff on specific items, but got hit with 47% tariff's from the U.S. Afterall, have you thought about where they're going to sell everything we buy.. How about all the other countries we've pissed on with tariff's? Do you think the Walmart's in Russia and Iran and all the other countries in the world are going to sell it for them. They need us BAD, they'll come around. That remains to be seen, now, doesn't it? China has already banned export of 8 rare Earths. They could attempt to shut off semiconductor shipments from Taiwan. This is probably encouraging them even more to invade Taiwan. |
