#China #Beijing #Tariffs
IT HAS BEGUN
Clearly elections have consequences not only for Americans but the rest of the world. In Canada even if the threat to Canada is on hold, Canadians continued to boycotting US stuff.
No they didn't
Let Canada trade with Russia. I’m sure that will work out well for them. I believe Miss Justin prefers China. I know she likes the way Zi runs a country
Canada can trade with China. Miss Justin would approve
I'm mexican i needed a few lts of hydraulic direction oil, i used to buy Lucas but yesterday i bought Akron😊 100% mexican brand i'm not buying anything made in USA from now on.
@jurseygurl7549 You mean "some" Canadians. I can imagine some Canadians would like their own president to be as Patriotic?
Beijing will not back down. They have pride nd not prone to bullying 😢😢😢
you mean: not used to real leadership.
They also have PLENTY of money. And the own huge amounts of US real estate. Not the country to anger, Dimwit DonOld.
Hence the 10% as opposed to the 25% to Mexico/Canada. That 10% Tarif will stick.
There was a time China was eating it's own children. Then the one child policy. I don't think they want to go back to that
You are a traitor democrats your kamaleon read LOSTTT GET OVER
If anyone thinks that they don't have any Chinese products in their home, they really are naive! I stand with China. There are better ways to negotiate better deals than punishing the consumer through tariffs.
You stand with China?? Thats the most unamerican thing I've heard in awhile. Obviously you have no idea what China thinks of Americans.
Befores 1918, our country was prosperous under tariffs until we were switched to a tax based system where the ppl and corps were taxed: in Aug of 1929 we entered the Great Depression that lasted for yrs. If you stand w China- y not go live there?
I have never seen or heard of an American saying "I stand with China."
Everything in our homes is made in China. Thats the problem. US sold out to the lowest bidder.

Your country was not a "free market" then. Today, it calls itself a "free market." If you can't handle the heat, isn't it best to stay out of the kitchen? 🙂
They are playing a game of chicken and we are the ones that will end up paying for it.
that's what they said the last time he was in office - the other world leaders know not to f w him. NO new wars were started his last term... now look at the mess he inherited.
U think 🤔.
Yup... Americans get plucked!
No we won't, their is a reason EVERYONE borrows from us.
What a brain busting analysis. Meanwhile you’re 2 years behind in child support. Go get a job.

But wallstreet "winning" all the time seems to be making everyone but the 1% very poor and offered much less in the way of work opportunities. I mean the status quo isnt working so something has to change.
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34,500 per week even though I barely trade myself.

In life, I will forever be grateful for health, wealth and a great professional whose help has been great for my finances.
I have been struggling with stocks since 2021 making loses everytime.I am strungling financially and am about to give up.. Please please can someone reach for me and help me with trading please.I will appreciate it. Thankyou

No more cheap stuff for USA !!
We dont want china's cheap crap anyway dude
US will farm it out to another country. Such as India.
That is kind of good...

We are complaining about the prices of stuff now wait till later on stuff about to get real
The executives at Wal mart are panicking right about now.😂
Why? Their profits won't suffer. They'll just pass the extra cost on to us.
@@chuck7299 how long before you run out of extra money for Walmart to take from you? I have until about 5pm.
@@chuck7299 MORE LIKE MIDDLE CLASS AMERICA
Nah, they have been preparing for this . Many companies have for months
Oh he stupid!
Canada is laughing they already had this deal from December! Trump just accepted a deal already negotiated.😂
Democrats do you forget we are the number one you can go to Canada bye democrats traitor
Canada punked him bigly 😆 🤣
This clown just ruined everything in less than three weeks 😂 he literally made everything worse that fast
The worse is coming
Still crying 😢? It's gonna be 4 years of fun. Enjoy the show
The unhinged. Its a movie.
TARIFF IS A TAX for the people in your own country.
China reacts to Temper Tantrum Toddler.
Hey pat, I found your pacifier. I'll give it to your mommy, now go change that smelly diaper!
Temper tantrum? I'm confused that there is so little solidarity in making America a local powerhouse and an even bigger powerhouse internationally.
Ask an average American manic consumer what they prioritize. Cheap cheaply constructed disposable "stuff". Before China it was Japan, before Japan chose quality rather than disposable quantity. Knowing manic consumer habits, why would US either attempt to force expensive quality on consumers? Or base an economy on cheap disposable garbage?
Just to be clear. That "upwards of a billion dollars" in concessions from Canada was announced in December 2024 and is to be spent over the next 5 or 6 years. This was not a concession. Also, more fentanyl and migrants flow north across our shared border than flow south. So yes, Canada needs to do better at securing our border. This was not a concession, it's necessary.
Difference
China imposes tariffs on US products, and it can buy these products elsewhere at (maybe) cheaper prices.
US imposes tariffs on Chinese products but it can hardly find cheaper products elsewhere.
So results:
Chinese consumers are not affected but US consumers are paying more.
We pay MORE for stuff. Yay, MAGA.
MAGA! Trump number 1
From the beginning of tariff threats thè Chinese must have been laughing their heads off. Trump played right into their hands.
😂😂😂😂 ok armchair economist. Where were you when Biden was giving this country away? Oh right you were keeping quiet.
@jericovildoza4633 You don't play into China's hands doesn't matter whose in charge or what country your in charge of. It's a game of chess with these people.
@@jericovildoza4633 Some economic facts for you: 80% of annual USA GDP is owned by foreigners. Started well before Biden. America started giving it's country away in the 1970s. MAGA...well first you have to buy back your country or more simply stated "pay your debts".
Why? They tariff and ban many of our products . Not to mention over a trillion in stolen IP.
And so the trade war begins...😂
Started by the worlds fake news
Why didn't you repeat that Canada already had that in place in December?
What kind of actual journalism is taking place at your organization?
December? For real?🤣🤣🤣4 years but Dec 2024? 🤣🤣🤣
hahahahaha! china has been preparing for another trade war since 2020 LOL
Won't help them
Total economic decoupling is the only solution, IP theft costs US over $500 billion a year.
87.5 % of stats are made up.
What a silly comment.
Decoupling means China doesn't have to pay for ip anymore
Bring back manufacturing then you can fight this war . Otherwise consumers are on the hook.
IP theft means they are not paying for IP.
Reject their shipments, stop trade altogether, and tighten your belts. Let’s see who folds first. Necessity is the mother of reinvention. We have everything we need right here.
Go China!
😂😂😂 trump cant bully everybody you ask for it you get it
Let me guesss you are a traits democrat haa
If you're American it's not bullying its negotiating new standards.
@@nellymoo635 If it's someone choosing to tariff a country because they refuse to do what he wants, then its not "negotiating new standards." It's straight up bullying.
@@nellymoo635So being profane is not bullying? Lots of MAGA supporters are very profane.
The Orange mussolini isn't too bright. Always a con man.
Don't send things there then, they ship way more to the usa than we send there
Wrong
Yep..buy American, americans
@@alikat1169we wish. Even items "made in America" are constructed from Chinese parts.
@heatherfitzgibbon. There are a lot of lost and dumb Trump supporters
They're not sending anything. Y'all are buying from them😂😂

Poor old diaper don
Good information
In this new world order, cartels have risen to unprecedented power, each dominating its respective region. China harbors powerful Chinese cartels, Mexico remains controlled by its own drug syndicates, Russia sees its criminal organizations flourish, and South America is overrun with ruthless factions. Even the European Union has succumbed, with drug cartels becoming a dominant force.
The turning point came when the EU and China signed a controversial treaty, effectively legalizing the drug trade. While they framed it as regulation, the reality was a global shift that empowered the cartels, allowing them to operate openly and even take control of their own governments. This agreement sparked worldwide blame and controversy, but the most vocal opposition came from the United States.
Refusing to sign the treaty, the U.S. doubled down on its efforts to block illegal drug trafficking, enforcing strict measures to combat the expanding influence of these criminal empires. As the world descended into chaos, a new war emerged-not just between nations, but between governments and the cartels that now ruled them.
😂😂😂😂 how dramatic when yall are the biggest evil put there
Never ever will win us
WAAAAAAAA! I can't get my Chinese CRAP anymore!!!!
@@michaelbaja1854 Says the copy/paste maggot who can't think of anything original on their own.
These comments are shocking to me. When people say " I stand with China or Canada, or Mexico" is a shocking statement to me. I didn't like Biden and Harris at all but he was still my President and The USA is my country. I will never stand with another country regardless! I will always be loyal to The United States and loyal to the President no matter who it is. This is our system of government and always has been so if you aren't happy with it and if your loyalty lies with another country and world leader then you should move to the country that you support because it's obvious that you aren't happy here.
I'm flummoxed too. I think people's hatred toward Trump overrides their ability to understand what hes trying to do. Good, bad, indifferent. Its shameful.
Finaly a comment with sense
You don't think the U.S.'s influence goes far beyond its border? What has been its track record abroad?
The Germans use your same argument some years ago.
Usa a terrorist country that hurt innocents
Basically China is saying “we will start buying russian oil and coal”
Canada has coal and oil. Canada can sell to China!
I don't buy anything from Mexico, Canada, or China. I am not a big consumer. After donating stuff stored in closets off and on for years, i figured out I don't need stuff. People are what is important, family and friends.
China shld offer to also station 10.000 elite troops on the USA bor😂
They will agree to much better.
@@Grounded-Based Oh you sweet summer child.
Why bother when they've already have 100k+ of military age men cross the border under obidens 4 yrs of graft and corruption! 😂
THANX maga
You're welcome!
@@lindasheldon6940enjoy those trump price hikes👍
I find it interesting the this "news" report mentions that Mexico will place 10,000 troops at the border to halt illegal migration - but it does not mention that Mexico got the US to agree to take measures to halt the smuggling of US illegal firearms into Mexico.
Maybe that's why Sheinbaum was smiling when she negotiated the 1 month delay. Let's see if the US can hold-up their end of the agreement?
China is very inspiring and I wish them peace and prosperity 🇨🇳
😂😂
Good.
...just the fact that China made it ONLY a 15% tariff tells you how terrified they are of losing all that American business....Chinese economy already on the rocks.
Everybody should be outraged if trump or anybody on his team to have a meeting without recordings or interpretation
TRUMP: watch XI call in US DEBT. Check mate.
Fentanyl can be made in Mexico or South America not necessary in China
It doesn’t matter where its made, the American junkies will gooble it up..
It's not about where it's made. It's about China allowing precursor chemicals to be just shipped
But the parts and raw materials all are from China, you can't run away from China!
It could be made in your garage... what's your point?
There should have been more concern about electing a Senator, Dave McCormick whose company Bridgewater Associates invested millions in China’s company HumanWell, in the company that makes Fentanyl. So he financed the manufacturing of fentanyl.
Does this effect ALL of Ivanka's and Daddy's Chinese made products??? Those MAGA caps are going to get pretty pricey!! But hey, the eggs! New cap instead of eggs!
Er how is buying the most? And which products are actually required each way?
They aren’t wrong though…
When Trump campaigned on not starting any new wars he didn't say trade wars so technically he didn't lie lol
Panama, Greenland..... He thinks he can threaten people? He starts the conversation w threats?
Uhh, saying he's going to "take" other nations isn't starting a war? Um. . . okay?
Keep the crap. We'll make our own
Good luck with that
By whose labor? tRrump is trying to deport all our cheap labor. We're still going to pay more. Gee, thanx a ton, MAGATS!
You already do. It's called MacDonalds
You can't afford your own.
If only US wages were such that the workers making the products could afford to buy them. About time the reasons for the breathtaking wealth inequality was examined a little closer and with less conflicted interests involved.
USA doesn't send much to China...
No. And our auto sales there have been steadily dwindling anyway
Number 1 buyer of US soybeans, though Brazil is moving up fast. The US coal industry is increasing dependent on exports. Both red state products.
Tariffs are on imports, not exports...
Because us made products are garbage
I have a feeling that, China is trying to make Trump angry and embarrassed, so he will raise the tariff into 50% maybe. In that case, prices of grocery, phones, shoes, tools, everything in America could raise further, say another 20-30%. Isn't this what China wants to see?
Voters ask for this make chaina great again
NO Valentine's dinner, gift, birthday party, anniversary gift, and dinners. 2025 and 2026
She’s not in Beijing lies
Time for a level playing field
Who started
Sounds like a great idea to me
Dems: 2022 price increase… Hold.. 2023 price increase… Hold.. 2024 price increase… Hold… 2025 prices… Now let’s start blaming the republicans..
🇨🇳 won't back down, my friend.
10,000 soldiers.. the ones they were placing there from mid last year.. and which way are their guns pointing USA?.. Oh yeah.. at YOU..
Love the comments about Canada at the end. The deal the spokes man was talking about was already announced in December 2024.
BIG win for trump, negotiating a deal that was already made. 😂
What a loser.
December 2024? December....2024? Wonder why?🤣🤣🤣
@@nellymoo635was made with Biden apparently
Thats how they answer. from 1.9 to 25% gdp.its not a game anymore.
Trump is ignoant
Not a fan huh
If you're going to call him ignorant, at least learn how to spell it.
I so ignoant
@@getacare2735 WAAAAAAAA! I can't get my Chinese CRAP anymore!!!!
Ummm. Hes a businessman who has been president previously. Weird comment. 🤣🤣🤣
BRICS+ countries are eating 🍿 and feeling very thankful to DT's trade war against China.😂😂
What does China buys from the US?!?
We have such high trade deficits when all is said and done we will have a better deal.
Lessening of drug and human trafficking on the borders is also a win.
Easy to see when you are above political drama.
U.S. consumer demand is higher than the demand for U.S. goods on the other side. U.S. consumers are programmed to be rabid consumers before they can walk. In addition, goods from abroad are usually more affordable to U.S. consumers than U.S. goods are to international consumers.
All of the countries involved, especially Canada and China, have worked with the United States to stem the flow of fentanyl into the country. Even though Mexico has made some efforts, it has its _own_ drug trafficking problems that complicate matters.
Indeed, it's easier to reason when you take politics out of the equation. 🙂
Let this be a lesson to our fellow Americans..if these countries dont care about our health and safety they dont deserve our dollar..period..w out our dollar their tariffs are worthless..thats why its important to be 100 percent self efficient in our own country
"Your dollar" is $27Billions debt.
@eduardoangeles9876 no need to add the 's'...
Thank you for pointing it out. English is my fifth language. I still have a lot of improvement to make.
Apple users are crying right now. Their yearly “upgrade” for the “latest and greatest” device 😂 US doesn’t sell much to China compared to China needing the US as China has a lot of products here. China will eventually fold like the rest
I still don't think you understand how tariffs works. The more you buy the more tariffs you pay.
You're not quite following how tariffs work. This hurts US consumers. It doesn't hurt the Chinese government.
both of you most likely said the same for mexico and canada and look where they ended up. they both folded within a day. china is the real rival but china isnt stupid either so itll take longer for china to fold
@@stevegonzales527folded in a day by just reiterating the deals they had already both proposed? How is that folding?
Don't count on China folding. USA and China will be at war within the next 4 years!
Way to go MAGA!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Trump and Maga are all losers.
The Chinese economy is already on life support. We'll buy elsewhere and MAYBE start buying from them as before after they crash. The US economy is in great shape and getting better...MANY of the World economies are in the same shape.
10%-15%, which I think is a very restrained and polite response
Ah, Panama is tbe scape goat.
He lost the first one why start another....
Mexican troops will escort migrants to the best border-crossing points.
I guess Trump does not realize that the cartels pay better than the Mexican army.
CCP 🤡bots doing overtime in the chat
MAGA bots have been doing overtime crying about "illegal aliens," DEI, and the "woke left" everywhere they go. 🙂
🤣🤣🤣yup!
Who care CHINA ????
Trump must be making MAGA and Elon very happy
the only countries left for trump to troll is Canada 🇨🇦 and Mexico 🇲🇽
So ….. he gave extra 30 days wish trump GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!
I’m glad these countries are standing up to the orange bully.

At this rate the Americans are going to have to start making their own stuff. ITs going to be bad for the unemployment figures(Many Many Less Unemployed people). But at least people will have money in their pockets again.
You said the opposite of reality twice there buddy. Less jobs and everyone will be worse off, if your a troll do better. If you a actual person. I pray for you.
@@DyslexicLivesMattress But what you are saying doesnt make sense. If were only importing raw materials and we produce everything at home. Surley there will be more jobs. Suddenly we will need factory workers. Its the chinese factories that will loose jobs. Since theyu wont be able to sell their stuff for love or money.
I wasnt trolling but I admit I might be wrong. But logically if were going to be making our own stuff then surley that means there more people working. More people paying tax and more growth of our own economy?
As Trump stands down😂😂😂😂 yea after Mexico’s and Canada gave him everything he wanted!
China is mad because Sam’s club is shutting down the Chinese grocery store in China by competing better. Chinese people though love Sam’s club. I love the videos of the middle age ladies crawling into the end cap for the refrigerated salmon!
US needs to move factory jobs to India. That's the only way to subdue China in the long run. Only India has the population and scale to take on China in the long run.
Jobs are already being redistributed through out the Pacific Rim. Combination of China now becoming a higher cost producer and Tariffs imposed by the USA. China will survive and India? Well India has a big problem of it's own. It has an incredible lump of poverty which overwhelms their economy. In short they are too poor to consume.
Both sides are just setting up their chips for the negotiation table. No worries.
Export controls on metals lol. China can finally do bad things guilt free. By guilt I mean bad image.
Lol Trump got scared
Everywhere I go I see people supporting China! Yes China China China💪💪💪
Every country trump is playing games w is giving China a way into that country. The world is not going to put up w his behavior.
It's all postering on China's part
No It's trump Brainless CRIMINALITY !
Mighty impressive though.
Like it was "postering" by Canada and Mexico? Trump saw the writing on the wall. The one Mexico will never pay for.
"postering"?
China are putting up posters everywhere....🙄🤣🤣
Not sure about all but its cultural. Lets see. Go with India.

Good day America, better is yet to come
😅😂 now he wants to work with Mexico 🇲🇽 and Canada 🇨🇦. This guy needs to go. America 🇺🇸 is getting destroyed btd.
Like forever ♾️ lol 😆
American policies can not damage the Chinese people not at all as Chinese can survive in simple life style but remember that It will be very painfull for Americans to bear such situations.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Its not about damaging anyone its about resetting to a better standard for Americans. American quality second to none.
