Trump Suggests US Could Slap 10 Percent Tax On iPhones, Laptops From China (cnbc.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNBC: President Donald Trump suggested he could place a 10 percent tariff on iPhones and laptops imported from China, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal published Monday. He also said it's "highly unlikely" that he would delay an increase in tariffs from 10 percent to 25 percent on Jan. 1, just four days before a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. "Maybe. Maybe. Depends on what the rate is," the president said to The Wall Street Journal about the possible iPhone and laptop tariffs. "I mean, I can make it 10 percent, and people could stand that very easily."
Why do you give a shit about Ukraine, which is on the other end of the world and which isn't a major US trade partner or ally?
Yup, that's the problem with Democrat partisans and similar Establishment running dogs: For twenty years Washington's public policy was to offshore our entire industrial base and utterly neglect our infrastructure. Thereby impoverishing our working people, severely hampering our ability to fight a defensive war against a symmetric enemy, and fostering a culture of despair. Apparently the Establishment - President Trump's political enemies - considered that a "win".
Remind us again why America should give a flying fuck about the security of Western Europe? The Euros are always boasting about how rich and enlightened and wonderful Europe is. Maybe it's time for them to take responsibility for their own national security.
You guys, leave APK alone. He's harmless and there's absolutely no reason you should be mistreating him this way.
Have a little decency for the holidays at least. Let's see if we can all be a little more human to each other.
You are welcome on my lawn.
