, the world gets put in notice, the eu isn’t so sure of itself and China grts tariffed with apple avoiding the pain thus far. That’s quite a detailed roadmap. Sometimes you just have to give credit where it’s due and leave the preconceived judgements at the doir.

 Like I have repeatedly stated on this site and others, . Apple would not be harmed by these tariffs.  It’s amazing how people still do not understand how Trump operates and what his intentions are even after him being president for 4+ years.   Many view him as incompetent or corrupt and greedy but he is just following his America First policies and truly is trying to put America in a better position.  Those suffering from TDS will never see this.

Time to come out of your news bubble. China shutting down majority of factories calling it a worker holiday. With no wages of course and no idea when or if factories will reopen. Factory owners all over tik tok selling equipment showing the devastation. Two more weeks and 80% of factories will close. Four two six weeks Chinese economic collapse. Most Chinese companies receiving nothing but order cancellations. Chinese are terrified. Those videos are shocking. I had no idea their economy could be brought down so fast.

I don’t know where you get “90” from.m his post.  But some have publicly stated so and some have made the trip to meet the president in person to cut a deal. You’ve got China, tje eu, and Canada adding even more tariffs onto their already present tariffs. These three have already been mentioned by the president as problems before the tariffs were implemented. So no surprise there. 

Canada doesn’t hold much weight in trade, but China does. And they use it to push that weight around. 

The eu has been in tje news lately targeting American companies with laws that apply only to them. And on top of that, applying another set to only apple. 

You’ve also got Israel, Japan, South Korea, Vietnamese, and others negotiating. 

Of these, Israel, Japan, and South Korea are msjor players and hVe tje potential to shift the balance of global trading power. 

So while China has bullying power today, that may not last since that power comes directly from the victims. Now that one is fighting back, things get interesting. 

It’s better for the entire world to have a level playing field and fair trade. Not charging someone a lot more bevause they happen to be good at what they do.
