Forget about a recession, the U.S. is headed directly towards a possible depression and bringing Canada down with it if those numbers are even remotely true. That’s almost 1-2 months salary wiped out for 1/3 of households in the US when most of those people are living paycheck to paycheck.

Aha! Trump is secretly doing the bidding of the Kiwis! No, not New Zealanders, not even the bird… it’s the fruit’s fault!

I don’t understand why some countries get a gain from additional tariffs.
The article doesn’t explain the mechanism.

My unfounded guess is that they sell products that normally compete with a soon to be crippled US market, so their products can fill the void. Think car sales from China to the EU after the tarrifs cripple manufacturing, for example.

Australia’s top 3 export markets are China, South Korea and Japan. If they put retaliatory tariffs on the US we could pick up extra business as we will have a price advantage. When the US duped our old conservative PM, Scummo, into pissing of China they put up trade barriers and our “mates” including Canada, NZ and USA all gained at our expense. It’s nothing personal.
We don’t export much to the US and 10% is as low as it goes. It’s a tax on US consumers.

Is country A is tariff 20% and country B is tariff 10%; that mean country B have an advantage against country A and can get some of the marked A is loosing.

Maybe they already had some sort of tariff? Maybe it modifies the existing trade deal somehow? Idk I’m not an economist just a peasant.

Aside from fossil fuels, they mostly only trade with China, right? They’re kinda “isolated” like North Korea.
