So Trump has just announced 25 % tariffs on everything coming in from Canada and Mexico, and 10 % for everything from China.

We can expect retaliation by at least some portion of them or indirectly from their producers.

Seems likely inflation spikes. What sorts of things will be affected?

So, you know, nothing important.

Saw this new thread and the thread starter.
Figured I would not read the post, just assume it's completely wrong and read comments after page 2.

This hasn't let me down with this poster yet.

If I am wrong, please let me know after page 2.

I'll hang up and listen

Where'd you get your numbers?. They're different from what's in our tracking thread.

Just a negating point. Call me when/if it really happens

I totally support these tariffs. Chinese and Mexican governments refusal to help stop the flow of Fentanyl is killing our young people and the drug trade in general is destroying Mexico. Something needs to change. If this doesn’t help, try something else. But ignoring the problem is certainly not going to fix anything.

You need to be put on a reasonable and rational dumbazz post allotment.

I agree something needs to change. I just wonder how much pressure on for example Canadian lumber imports will change fentanyl picture.

Hell, I’m announcing 500% tariffs on China. My announced tariffs have the same legal effect as Trump‘s until 1/20/2025.
