Hello friends of Liberty, of course I know that Ursula von der Leyen is not qualified to be in charge of the European Union, but of course to be in charge of a table with some cardboard and some cards and some balls she would be number one.
She does not act like a president of the European Community, because what she has just done in front of everyone, the trick of the little ball, I have been scared because she is so good at playing with language that she has made a verbal trick that the majority of people have bought, I have seen the video that you are going to see below on social networks with its corresponding comments and of all the comments that I have read, no one has noticed the trick, Nobody, Let's see if you fall for the trick.
What this “lady” is saying is that because of Trump's tariffs we are going to suffer great inflation. Have you got it? I quote, “Tariffs will also hurt consumers, It will be felt immediately, Millions of citizens will face higher grocery bills, Medicines will cost more as well as transportation, Inflation will increase and this particularly harms the most vulnerable citizens.”
What do you understand? that prices are going to rise because of the tariffs. Everything he has said is true, except for a small detail that omits that all of this is going to affect the Americans, not the Europeans, the inflation and increase in prices of a product is suffered by the country that imposes the tariff, not the one that imposes it, because the trick is that at no time has he said to the Europeans, he says millions of people, he does not say Europeans and therein lies the trap.
Let's go back to the topic. Imagine pork that we export to the United States, if the one that sets the tariff is the United States, it is meat that leaves Spain and goes to the United States, and then if it is sold for 10 per kilo plus the 25% tariff, then it will be worth 12.50 per kilo instead of 10, those 1250 per kilo, who pays it? the sending country, no, the receiving country, the United States.
If you put a tariff on eggs, eggs will be more expensive in the United States, because it will be what the egg costs plus the tariff. The fact that the United States puts tariffs on all products that enter the United States cannot cause prices to rise in the country of origin. Yes, the other way around, but from Europe to there the only thing that is going to suffer is the economy of the companies that live off exports. The citizen does not have to see it unless they cheat and accuse us of inflation to the United States to justify what is coming upon us due to the loss of value of the euro.
Imagine that here we have millions of tons of eggs that are exported to the United States, Trump with his tariff policy makes eggs so expensive that Americans no longer buy Spanish eggs. Those eggs are not thrown away, they are incorporated into the national market. What happens? which lowers the price of eggs.
Tariffs on food products not only do not have to be noticed in European supermarkets, but they would have to be noticed downwards, all that food that is exported abroad and that stops being exported there due to the tariff policy stays in Europe and will cause prices to go down, and if North Americans pay those tariffs the prices remain as they are now, it makes no difference whether they put a tariff or not.
The difference is that the American will pay 25, 100, 70, 90% more for the imported product that he buys, but that will be borne by the North American consumer, not the European consumer. The tariffs are imposed by Trump on the products that enter his country, not those that leave his country, so it is a trap that this “lady” has made with that tough face.
