The World Reacts To Trump's Sweeping Tariffs: 'No Basis In Logic'
www.huffpost.com
“Nobody wants a trade war," said one British official.

Summary

Global leaders criticized Trump’s new tariffs, which range from 10% to 49%, warning of trade wars and economic fallout.

The UK and Italy urged negotiation, while Brazil passed a reciprocity bill. China and South Korea vowed countermeasures.

Australia and New Zealand rejected Trump’s logic, citing existing trade deals and low tariffs. Norfolk Island was baffled by a 29% duty despite having no exports.

Financial markets dropped, oil and bitcoin sank, and leaders warned of inflation. Analysts say Trump risks fracturing global trade with little to gain economically.

    Still it was too difficult for you to express your own opinions. Too scary?

      Arguing with you people is a waste of time.

      I’m going to ignore you now.

        it’s not really arguing if you’re not making a point though, is it? it’s just insulting people and refusing to explain why. that’s not the same thing as arguing.
