RE: We're gonna reap more hardships from these ridiculus US Tariffs
In general, I oppose tariffs and would prefer free trade. However, while many are complaining about Trump's imposition of new tariffs, they ignore the tariffs that other countries have had on the import of U.S. products for years. For example, Trump imposed an 18% tariff on all food imports from the Philippines. However, this is still lower than the 34% tariff the Philippines imposes on the import of U.S. goods. I believe Trump will drop these "reciprocal" tariffs if the other country does the same.
In the end the consumer loses about these "tax" on goods or products. Imported US products here are expensive and I hope that Mr. Trump really reconsider his wild decisions, the US government is in itself now directly run by Oligarchs although this world now is highly influenced by the elites to favor them and not the average person. 😆
