mtutiger Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Trump aides ready ‘universal’ tariff plans — with one key change Quote Two weeks before Trump takes office, his aides are still discussing plans to impose import duties on goods from every country, the people said. But rather than apply tariffs to all imports, the current discussions center on imposing them only on certain sectors deemed critical to national or economic security — a shift that would jettison a key aspect of Trump’s campaign pledge, at least for now, said the people, who cautioned that no decisions have been finalized and that planning remains in flux. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations. The potential change reflects a recognition that Trump’s initial plans — which would have been immediately noticeable in the price of food imports and cheap consumer electronics — could prove politically unpopular and disruptive. But consideration of universal tariffs of some kind still reflects the Trump team’s determination to implement measures that can’t be easily circumvented by having products shipped via a third country. Exactly which imports or industries would face tariffs was not immediately clear. Preliminary discussions have largely focused on several key sectors that the Trump team wants to bring back to the United States, the people said. Those include the defense industrial supply chain (through tariffs on steel, iron, aluminum and copper); critical medical supplies (syringes, needles, vials and pharmaceutical materials); and energy production (batteries, rare earth minerals and even solar panels), two of the people said. It’s also unclear how these plans intersect with Trump’s stated intent to impose 25 percent tariffs on Mexico and Canada and an additional 10 percent tariff on China unless they take measures to reduce migration and drug trafficking. Many business leaders view those measures as unlikely to ever take effect, but some people familiar with the matter said they could be imposed along with universal tariffs on key sectors. The narrower list of initial tariffs may also partially reflect growing fears about the persistence of inflation in the coming year. The Federal Reserve in December signaled that officials expect just two interest rate cuts for this year, as price increases remain stickier than initially forecast. Expand Huh, I was reliably informed that the tariffs were paid for by foreign governments..... interesting. 1 Quote

romad1 Posted January 6 Author Posted January 6 (edited) Weird* how AOC is such a target for the MAGAs. She's a smokeshow and she's hardly Jane Fonda politically. *not really weird. Edited January 6 by romad1 Quote

CMRivdogs Posted January 6 Posted January 6 While I don't agree with some of AOC's politics, she has shown maturity and growth during her time in congress. Something I haven't seen with most of the MAGA chicks Quote
