• Tariffs on electronics

    From Joseph Pereira@1:124/5016 to All on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 08:37:45
    Trump himself has now indicated that he has not yet decided whether the tariffs on electronics that come from China will remain at 20%. Companies such as Apple and Nvidia are extremely dependent on components that come from China. It is always the case that Trump 'forgets' what was agreed after a few days. So it seems to be another 'forgetting' action by Trump. The CEOs of the tech companies can once again go to the White House to explain that they can close their doors if Trump continues with the import duties.

    He isn't forgetting. He is f#$%ing around with it because he knows he can.
