		ggm 9 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China, ... I didn't say this is sophisticated. I said they expect the outcomes people are complaining about. They've workshopped this, and are aware how this is playing out. I would be very surprised if there is a significant leak of "we didn't expect this" anytime soon. Trump believes in tariffs, I don't.

Apparently much of the rest of the world believes in them as well: almost every country has tariffs and had them long before Trump.

Usually targetted tariffs to protect specific industries, not across the board like this. This is next level.
