Now there's a surprise, Vietnam, you know one of the "deals" Trump was boasting about, apparently agreed to an 11% tariff in return for certain conditions it follow regarding imports and transhipments, so they had a "deal" with the Trump admin negotiated with his representatives. Trump ignored all ...

In today's random developments, the 10% baseline tariff might now be 15 or 20. Canada is getting 35%, Brazil 50%, pharmaceuticals 200%. Canada, remember, was part of USMCA, which Trump initiated because he hated NAFTA. But his first term "deals" are all forgotten now. What's the point in trying to ...

Further to my previous post I have seen a number of videos where members of the Trump Admin refer to AUKUS as a "policy," no it isn't a fucking policy, it's a fucking strategic agreement, written on paper and signed by various heads of state, it's not a fucking policy. See this is where it all goes ...

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

What are we doing even talking to this guy? We have an agreement? Nope you gotta pay extra money! And you have to do what we say whether you agree with it or not.

But Australia is now facing the prospect of a Trump administration review demanding it pay more for submarines ...

Trump has sent a letter to Brunei saying if they set up factories in the US there will be no tariffs, which will be set at 25% until they do that. What is Brunei's primary export to the US? Hydrocarbons, oil and etc, not sure how they are expected to set up a factory in the US to manufacture oil ...

Been a while for this thread, but it seems things are picking up in Russia again with a recent number of...notable...deaths.

There was that oil executive a week ago, almost a typical Russian Oligarch death you might say;

Andrei Badalov, vice president of Transneft, Russia's largest state ...

Ah yes Albo, this is what you get for sucking up to Trump, sweet fuck all and a big slap around the face. C'mon guys, it really is time to break ties with the US, we've lost enough money on the AUKUS agreement, if you think we are ever going to get nuclear subs while Trump and his cronies are in ...

Trump is blaming Biden for the Russian invasion of the Ukraine, bizarre as that might seem, not Putin's fault at all apparently!

“We’re trying to help out with a Biden-created monster, this whole thing that’s happening with Russia and Ukraine,” Mr Trump claimed.

“And I’m not happy with ...

The deals are done, the letters are sent, detailed and comprehensive trade agreements they aren't. For instance Laos just got a flat 40% tariff from the US on all goods sent to the US. Now Laos has very little to send to the US, in fact electricity is its main export, yeah you can see the problem ...

$800 EV's. No chance these would ever be allowed on the road over here, they can fit three abreast in a standard traffic lane, two easily into a standard parking bay, electric windows, reversing cameras, the lot, unless you want a seat belt of course, then you are out of luck!
