Trump made a U-turn on tariffs, pausing all global tariffs for 90 days to negotiate with around 70 countries - but NOT China. Tariff rate against #China will increase to 125% effectively immediately. US

China just announced an additional 50% tariffs aimed at US imports to match the 50% US tariffs targeted at China that kicked in yesterday. Full scale trade war at this point. #tariffs #unitedstates #china

Apple will probably move their supply lines somewhere else in SE Asia (probably India) now that the 104% tariffs against China kicked in.

The AI race is so real that Google is paying some its former engineers who've quit the company a year's worth of salary in order not to join rival AI firms

With the global tariffs that US set it's trying to create a new global trade arrangement. It will negotiate in-group not 1on1 with the countries that expressed willingness to negotiate for a Bretton Woods

Indeed. Already, lots of top US CEOs including Elon are lobbying Trump against the tariffs.

US/China tariff war has interesting dynamics. US makes a move, China responds, US raises the stakes (tariffs) based on China response, China responds again to the new tariff rate, etc. Who will fold first?

Trump just threatened an additional 50% tariff on China if Beijing does not remove it's 34% tariffs by tomorrow.

Not to late to awake a giant like Europe - which has been asleep for decades.

VAT is applicable to any countries' firms (incl. EU ones) and by most European jurisdictions. Not specifically targeted to US firms. A French firm that sells products or services in France,

The EU is not rushing to announce counter-tariffs to the levied 20% tariffs by US. When it will, expect it to target services (Apple, Amazon, Meta, Google, etc) where it maintains a $ 120 Billion trade

Let's see how it goes.

Its getting complicated for everyone.

China just announced that it will impose an additional 34% tariff on US imports as a response to the Trump administration tariffs aimed at China. Going into a full fledged trade protectionism war #tariffs

In the course of US history there've been three times that it enacted massive tariffs: 1828, 1930, 2025. Interestingly they are almost 100 years apart from each other. (- Other tariffs were enacted inbetwen

After the global tariffs that the US introduced it feels like we've moving into a new global paradigm. Is this the end of global economic liberalism?
