"Guess which country has been left off the list? #quellesurprise #putinspoodle" Russia is still under sanctions, no point applying a tariff to non-existent exports. | |||

"Who really cares though? Does not affect me one little bit. I do not export to the Yooessay, not does any company I deal with. " But I imagine you consume products imported from the USA, and they will soon become more expensive to buy when you have to start paying additional taxes on them. | |||

"We don’t really know what the consequences will be, if any, so let’s not get hysterical and see what happens "We know that from tomorrow cars arriving in the USA from the UK will be charged a 25% tax on their value at the border. We know that from tomorrow all other goods arriving from the UK, such as whisky, will be charged a 10% tax on their value at the border. So it is reasonable to expect demand for our products to drop as the retail prices rise in the US marketplace. UK exports to the USA are worth about £64 billion a year. Any drop in demand will have a knock-on effect on the workplaces here that make these goods. | |||

"Fact Check... have the trump haters actually looked at the tariffs list to see what other countries have been charging the US for comparison? Google it. Why is everyone complaining, look at what other countries have been charging the US for years. For example a few counties form the list; China 67% US 34% European Union 39% US 20% Vietnam 90% US 46% Taiwan 64% US 32% Japan 46% US 24% India 52% US 26% UK 10% US 10% In virtually all cases the US is only reciprocating with half of what other countries are charging on US imports. " Those figures have been debunked. Blocking the sale of chlorinated chicken on health grounds, for example, is not a tariff, it is public health policy. But the cost has been factored into the US calculations and presented as a tariff. Trumptown economics. | |||

Look at the difference between the figures for the EU and the UK, yet the trading terms between UK/USA and EU/USA are exactly the same. The figures are derived not from tariffs but trade imbalances - the difference between what the EU and UK export to the USA and what we import. Where there is a deficit, Trump calls it a tariff. Trade imbalances are inevitable in free markets. You export what you are good at making, and import what others are good at making. The USA wants to destroy free trade. | |||

Ok, will scrap the tariffs in return for you giving us your NHS and letting us sell our chicken. Britain has said no once before and will say no again. | |||

"I must say as much as I detest Trumpet and his side kick if the figures being banded about are true I can see what his beef is." Except they are not. Trump's team has taken the trade deficit with each foreign market to calculate the tariffs he needs to impose to achieve a neutral balance of payments. These figures he cites are not tariffs imposed by the EU or the UK or any other market. He is rigging the market, basically. It is no longer free. | |||

"What happens to Chinese and European products on Amazon? Does it mean the prices will be different on us amazon than Europe? " Products made in China or Europe, and imported to the UK, are unaffected by this. Trump's announcement effectively erects walls around the US marketplace. Any manufacturer wanting to sell into their market now has to pay taxes on their products to the US Government, starting at a minimum of 10%. | |||

"Still a tariff for non EU countries importing into Europe. That's unfair and no different than Trump. Why I dispose the EU so much. Smiled when they were hit back with there own medicine" I think you do not understand what Trump has done. It is incomparable to what the EU (or UK) does, within the rules of the WTO. Trade agreements between different markets usually remove tariffs by evening out any disparities in how respective markets function. The EU has 44 such agreements with 76 countries. Trump has declared war on the rest of the world by erecting a wall to everyone who wants to sell anything into the USA. The rest of the world is likely to respond by erecting walls to anyone in the USA who wants to sell into their market. The outcome will be inflation and reduced economic trade between countries, i.e. recession. | |||

"Still a tariff for non EU countries importing into Europe. That's unfair and no different than Trump. Why I dispose the EU so much. Smiled when they were hit back with there own medicine I think you do not understand what Trump has done. It is incomparable to what the EU (or UK) does, within the rules of the WTO. Trade agreements between different markets usually remove tariffs by evening out any disparities in how respective markets function. The EU has 44 such agreements with 76 countries. Trump has declared war on the rest of the world by erecting a wall to everyone who wants to sell anything into the USA. The rest of the world is likely to respond by erecting walls to anyone in the USA who wants to sell into their market. The outcome will be inflation and reduced economic trade between countries, i.e. recession. so your suggesting that manufacturers in UK have not experienced and price increases to export to the EU since Brexit?" . That we have a totally free of tariff agreement with the EU?? Lol | |||

Largely due to excess red tape not tariffs. When everything takes more time and effort you have to pay more people in the chain, hence prices go up.   | |||

"so your suggesting that manufacturers in UK have not experienced and price increases to export to the EU since Brexit?" The increase in costs arises from importers and exporters now being knee-deep in customs paperwork and border controls, not from tariffs. | |||

There's another ten percent effectively a tariff on employers to the government. So let's not pretend TRumps move is any more damaging that our own government or the EU. | |||

It's a view I suppose ". I'm just making a point that employers are picking up additional costs happening in last few months and now from our own government. Another 10 percent. And that's on all businesses. Not just exporters. Pay increase is all very well if your not one of the unfortunate who will lose there jobs because of the squeeze. | |||

If you check UK current history, this countries industry declined year on year since we first joined the EU. We were sold it on a lie. And the cost has been astronomical. Thankfully we have dropped the shakes now. In charge of our own destiny. Now have a democratic system that we have a say in | |||

"We are, having free trade means cheap goods, it's good for consumers and countries " . I have a friend who runs a business of importing olives into UK and supplying many of the big city hotels, particularly London Manchester and Birmingham. His only suppliers for a high quality product was Greece. Price trebled at time of Brexit, and he was forced to look further afield. Contacted a family established business in Egypt. Travelled there to meet and view product. Warmly welcomed and accomadate for the few days. Equal quality from those at Greece, imported into UK cheaper than the original price pre Brexit. He wished he had looked years earlier. THAT is the dangers of a comfort zone. | |||

Don't get me wrong I think Trump is the worst thing to happen to the world imaginable but I suppose he is levelling up the playing field " VAT isn't paid at the border. VAT is paid at the point of sale - the rate is the same whether a product was made in the UK or the USA. It is a tax on the consumer, not on the trade. Tariffs are paid at the border by the importer or exporter, to the government of the country receiving the goods. Goods can pass from one business to another and no VAT is payable. It is only at the final point of sale to the consumer. | |||

Now, the person in the garment factory may be earning a 1/10th of what the equivalent person here might be earning. But they are still earning 3x more than they would be if they were still working the land. | |||

"He's a dead man walking he's out his mind only god nose why the Americans voted him back in. And with a massive vote too. Just incredulous I think how easily the Americans are hoodwinked.

"I'm wearing a pair of size 10 white jeans. Tu is the label (Sainsburys). Made in Pakistan. Price Pakistan out the market for imports and force people to buy jeans made in the UK? Are you ready for strikes in support of pay increases of 50% and 100% Bonkers! " Our uni had a robot capable of making those jeans or shirts, from cutting bed to sewing. It was faster and more reliable than a human. This was decades ago. That's the only future route to becoming competitive once more. | |||

"I love the way the WEF media have brainwashed you in to thinking it’s bad. He’s out tax on people that tax them. Build in America and use American people you won’t pay them. Wish Starmer would do that here. It doesn't work in a country of 70 million the market is too small when you have 1.4 billion in China, 1.3 billion in India, 450 million in the EU and 350 million in the USA, let alone Brazil and Nigeria, Indonesia. You need to think your arguments through in the context of the world we live in not the one in your mind. Nancy pelosi called for it. Called for what?" Tariffs | |||

"The EU remainer fools aren't so lippy today
,, time to stop regretting Brexit , time to start begging the EU to let us back in . Most of us don't regret Brexit. Just unfortunate our leaving was followed by the gulf war,energy crisis, a global unidentified pandemic and a start of Ukraine war. But apparently all that had no bearing on our economy lol lol"The UK economy is £140 billion smaller thanks to Brexit. We're net paying £19 billion a year in 'reparations' before anything else it taken into account. | |||
