How hard must it be for companies everywhere, but the US in particular, to keep track of all this and apply the right rates.

Also must be a nightmare for US treasury etc. in trying to keep tabs on all this to make sure it's being done correctly (and they've probably had their staffing decimated by DOG(shit)E).

All this proves is that there are people in power who don't have a fucking clue.

Stocks soar as Trump pauses some tariffs for talks

But Trump also raises tariffs on goods from China to at least 125% "effective immediately".

That’s one way of looking at it, I guess. He’s obviously blinked first here after being warned.

What understanding? He backed out of the tariffs therefore prices went up slightly, they're still missing about 6 trillion since he took office.

Is this the part where they claim crashing the markets and being forced into reversing one of his flagship policies to avoid financial disaster was all part of the plan and a stroke of genius?

To be clear, even 10% tariffs on the EU would be 4x the tariff the EU charges on US goods. Ultimately the people most affected by what he’s doing will be the average US consumer who is going to see their cost of living go up considerably.

So seems there was a a big spike in trading in the hour leading up to the announcement of the tariff suspension. Questions now being asked about who knew the announcement was imminent and if there has been insider trading.

There's just something so intrinsically wrong in the notion that a person can make $2.5b in a single day, while elsewhere, other people die of hunger and starvation and children live in abject poverty.

Just what sort of world have we built here for us these days.

He has carried out multiple crypto scams on his own supporters. Anything to help Daddy Trump.

It was the same when he started going on about Hunter Biden's bathroom after the meeting with Zelenskyy - for some reason most media outlets edited it out. He was just rambling nonsense at that point.

So after all the wanking him off yesterday when stocks rose - 'he really does know what he's doing, all part of the plan!' - the NASDAQ is down 6% so far today.

Nobody knows more about the NASDAQ than me folks, believe me. By the time I’m done explaining it you’re going to be begging me, you’re going to be going ‘oh please BSB stop it we can’t take it anymore our heads are too full of knowledge about the NASDAQ it hurts!’.

It’s going to be terrific.

Markets hate uncertainty and Trump is so erratic they’re reacting accordingly. I’d imagine things ‘should’ settle down as soon as he declares some trade deal ‘wins’, but they need to sort something out with China for both their sakes….problem is things might start getting out of control before then !

US actually had some good news today, inflation down more than expected but even that’s been taken by markets as things worsening too rapidly. Doesn’t help Trump trying to force through tax cuts when bond markets are suggesting there’s currently a premium to pay for more borrowing. I thought if Trump had taken heat out of economy, brought some uncertainty around tariffs/growth in a more controlled way, reduced spending etc yields (borrowing costs) would drop…this was working but after this weeks tariff chaos they’re going the other way again for a variety of reasons

Said it before, financial (bond) markets dictate government policy more than is comfortable these days. If they don’t agree with what you’re doing you’re punished with higher borrowing costs which countries can ill afford. most have way too much debt so seem to have a lessening say in what they can do and deliver. The whole financial system seems to creak/get stressed quite easily and one day, maybe soon ish, might well break again

Interesting and possibly worrying times….

Could YOUR city be one of the worst affected by Trump's tariffs?

The British cities expected to take the hardest hit from Trump's levies are manufacturing heartlands, whose economies are based around industry.

Meanwhile, in a move that certainly doesn't resemble North Korea or the USSR, Trump is planning a military parade for his birthday.
