Dear tech companies affected by Trump tariffs: don't bother sending your goods to US anymore; send them to Europe instead, we will welcome them with open hearts and wallets.

Does this mean that for all countries not currently affected by the pink Genie the items will be reduced in price "SO SORRY" for the Americans, you reap what you sow.

Someone has to cover the loss in revenue from US tariffs. Thank you for volunteering.

The important thing will be the final agreements not the initial proclamations.

Personally find the 10% China tariff surprisingly mild, not a strong bold opening move, more a measured diplomatic communication.

"Personally find the 10% China tariff surprisingly mild, not a strong bold opening move, more a measured diplomatic communication."

IIRC, we're already tariffing China a decent rate and this would be 10% on top of that. Obviously, with NAFTA 2.0 we weren't doing it to Canada.

Depends on how long that takes. There never were any final agreements with China, for instance.

The reason it's smaller is because it's on top of the existing tariffs on imports from China. Don't forget that there's been a pause on tariffs involving electronic products, including PC parts. So, we've never seen the full impact of the original tariffs. If that pause is allowed to expire and has an extra 10%, as well, the impact on electronics and a lot of PC components will be quite substantial.

Tariffs for Canada are on standby since they agreed to start protecting their border. US has been footing the bill long enough.

 

[RubberNecken]

Oh, EU your next for tariffs. Sorry!

 

[Alvar "Miles" Udell]

Let the "tech enthusiasts" pay them while everyone else waits a bit for the price to drop.

It's just an excuse. It's a negotiation tactic. Had enough Kool-Aid?
