Trump pauses some reciprocal Tariffs for 90 Days, Raises China Tariffs to 125% [Update@post270]

[deltexas]

What does China intellectual property theft have to with exempting iPhones and computers from tariffs?

If anything, the biggest theft of intellectual property is in smartphones and computers and Pharma

Resident Runner. I like that.

There's a lot more theft than iphones. Even the EU had a convern on it. For example- China doesn't allow US auto manufacturers to set up base completely- they have to have some partnership with a local Chinese company. Look at their copycat Chinese cars-- wxact replica copues. And many more like that..

And by the way - you can use the Resident runner tag for your friend here.. no intellectual theft there

The trigger effect is on. So says the guy who uses language like this and complains when others use it against him.
On topic Trump has no love lost for Trudeau..tariffs on Canada still there. And the biggest thing- he's after the Red dragon hegemony.

I'm used to Chinese, Japanese and Korean "industrial" post docs faxing their lab notebooks on a weekly basis.

Even the EU had a convern on it. For example- China doesn't allow US auto manufacturers to set up base completely- they have to have some partnership with a local Chinese company. Look at their copycat Chinese cars-- wxact replica copues. And many more like that..

Well aware of the problem.

I'm just amused that conservatives are up in arms over a problem that they created and I definitely don't trust the orange felon and his motives.

And by the way - you can use the Resident runner tag for your friend here.. no intellectual theft there

He has a few options.

Claim he won and countries negotiated with him.

Somehow blame Biden and Obama.

Possibly the most mentally unstable political leader in 21st century. He is like a madman from a mental asylum.

LOL. Orange turd is finally feeling the heat.

He’s managed to fumble the trade war, tank America’s credibility, and he’s not even 100 days in.

Well, Trump supporters are all cut from the same cloth whether it's one shouting from Texas or another ( ) echoing him from Nalasopara, Mumbai. Funny thing is they also happen to be Chaiwala supporters.

The burn here from the resident runners, the halls and similar posters and the sweepers shows trump must be doing something right! Its Its okay - lookd like perennial imf nations are vehemently against trump. Its ok if the china trade off hurts USA short term.. the China hegemony is what Trump is after..

 

[Rajdeep]

That message was a reminder to our resident Jaychands about who the alternative was. I am sure an Indian holding the most powerful position in the world would surely have not made them happy.

You would but guess the American citizens voted for a different opinion. And good to see you hiding crude abusive language behind smart words. Keep it up.

Half Indian half black. We would praise the black half for good decisions and pin the bad decisions on Indian side. Don't worry bro we had it all worked out

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Nah...Islamists are the biggest stupid in the world. They are not just stupid but a pure nuisance. Trump supporters and BJP supporters are simply fighting that nuisance.

I thought Trump was fighting China.

He is really playing 4D chess. Tariffs on the whole world to fight China. Then, tariffs on China to fight Islamist.

If this wasn’t market manipulation nothing is market manipulation.

It’s a classic … how to make money when economy is at high.

Conservatives are so dumb they could only see the debt but not the deficit that always improves under a democrat President since Clinton.

Such a self goal

Wrong assumption. Debt has increased under every USA prez since 2000. Including obama and biden. Deficit increased more during 8 yeara than prior. Bidens build back better package is such a disaster with no accountability

Debt/ deficit is what i told initially in the post where you said I was assuming, you are doing exactly what Conservative leaders tell their followers - just about debt and not the deficit that causes long term issues.

We can keep continuing to argue on the difference but I have no patience anymore to define the differences, so peace you should believe what you want to.

Yes I understand . And if you looka the deficit table as well- you will see by year.. and shows how the presidents have fared irrespective of the party.

And so thats how it should be. Every country should send all illegals back.. wish the biden gov had that spine..

That one is working out for India check who are being deported, mostly Panjabis, hardly any legal ones.

Those guys are acting so privileged, they are asking Indian government to compensate them for going illegally to US lol

Now if only Canada and UK had done the same maybe just maybe Air India wouldn’t had gotten bombed all those years ago.

Y’all still wasting time debating Karoline Leavitts of PP?

Trump fumbled the trade war he started for clout, handed adversaries, and even allies like Japan, a map to America’s weak spots, and exposed what every president before him was smart enough to quietly manage. But hey, what do you expect from the guy who bragged about writing The Art of the Deal and then negotiated like he skimmed the CliffNotes.

The fallout? It’s coming, slow, steady, and ugly.

His team will keep gaslighting the public like it’s the second coming of sliced bread, but the numbers aren’t loyal.

Barely 100 days in, and it’s already a full blown circus.

No debate left, just receipts and regrets.

Question is did Trump voters learn anything? Will they elect another madman? I hope not.

Did you read the entire politico article in post 517. Or just using snippets that you get. If you read the "whole" article -maybe you will understand the situation better instead of just misstating things

Your blue eyed orange messiah lost the trade war, badly.

And now his WH press secretary is on permanent press play, trying to gaslight everyone like we didn’t just watch him fold like a cheap lawn chair.

Tariffs on Chinese electronics? Lifted. Game over.

Meanwhile, he played the stock market from the White House like a casino, and just like millions of other Americans, you weren’t invited to the table.

And if you actually read the article, it doesn’t suggest he lost the trade war, it spells it out.

This trade war fiasco feels like deja vu,right up there with him casually suggesting people inject bleach to fight COVID.

Same energy, loud, reckless, and dangerously confident in being catastrophically wrong.

Trump exempts smartphones and computers from new tariffs

US President Donald Trump's administration has exempted smartphones, computers and some other electronic devices from "reciprocal" tariffs, including the 125% levies imposed on Chinese imports.

In a notice, US Customs and Border Patrol said that the goods would be excluded from Trump's 10% global tariff on most countries and the much larger Chinese import tax.

It marks the first significant reprieve of any kind in Trump's tariffs on China, with one trade analyst describing it as a "game-changer scenario".

Late on Saturday, while travelling to Miami, Trump said he would give more details of the exemptions at the start of next week.

"We'll be very specific," he told reporters on Air Force One. "But we're taking in a lot of money. As a country we're taking in a lot of money."

The move came after concerns from US tech companies that the price of gadgets could skyrocket, as many of them are made in China.

Exemptions - backdated to 5 April - also include other electronic devices and components, including semiconductors, solar cells and memory cards.

"This is the dream scenario for tech investors," Dan Ives, who is the global head of technology research at Wedbush Securities, posted on X. "Smartphones, chips being excluded is a game-changer scenario when it comes to China tariffs."

Big tech firms such as Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft and the broader tech industry can breathe a huge sigh of relief this weekend, he added.

The White House indicated the exemptions were made to ensure companies had more time to move production to the US.

"President Trump has made it clear America cannot rely on China to manufacture critical technologies such as semiconductors, chips, smartphones, and laptops," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

"At the direction of the president, these companies are hustling to onshore their manufacturing in the United States as soon as possible."

Trump, who is spending the weekend at his Florida home, told reporters on Friday he was comfortable with the high tariffs on China.

"And I think something positive is going to come out of that," he said, touting his relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

These electronic goods are still subject to the 20% tariff on China related to fentanyl, White House Deputy Chief of Staff on Policy Stephen Miller posted on X.

Some estimates suggested iPhone prices in the US could have as much as tripled if costs were passed on to consumers.

The US is a major market for iPhones, while Apple accounted for more than half of its smartphones sales last year, according to Counterpoint Research.

It says as much as 80% of Apple's iPhones intended for US sale are made in China, with the remaining 20% made in India.

Like its fellow smartphone giant Samsung, Apple has been trying to diversify its supply chains to avoid an over-reliance on China in recent years.

India and Vietnam emerged as frontrunners for additional manufacturing hubs.

As the tariffs took effect, Apple reportedly looked to speed up and increase its production of India-produced devices in recent days.

Trump had planned for a host of steep tariffs on countries around the world to take effect this week.

But on Wednesday he announced he would implement a 90-day pause for countries hit by higher US tariffs - except China, whose tariffs he raised to 145%.

Trump said the tariff increase for China was because of the country's readiness to retaliate with its own 84% levy on US goods.

In a dramatic change of policy, Trump said all countries that had not retaliated against US tariffs would receive the reprieve – and only face a blanket tariff of 10% – until July.

The White House then said the move was a negotiating tactic to extract more favourable trade terms from other countries.

Trump has said his import taxes will address unfairness in the global trading system, as well as bring jobs and factories back to the US.

China urges Trump to correct mistakes and heed ‘rational voices’ on reciprocal tariffs​

China’s Commerce Ministry called the U.S. tariff exemptions a “small step” and urged U.S. President Donald Trump to “completely abolish” the reciprocal tariffs, which include a 145% duty on imports from China.

“We urge the U.S. to heed the rational voices of the international community and domestic parties, take a big stride in correcting its mistakes, completely abolish the wrongful action of ‘reciprocal tariffs,’ and return to the correct path of resolving differences through equal dialogue based on mutual respect,” the ministry said in an online statement, according to a CNBC translation.

The ministry also said China is “evaluating the relevant impact” of the tariff exemptions on some tech products announced late Friday.

The White House did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.

The response in China to U.S. tariffs can be seen in both state media and social media. The recent exemptions are being presented domestically as Trump is backing down and further evidence that Chinese supply chains are not easily replaceable by U.S. companies.

“Public opinion widely views this as another retreat by the U.S. government on its tariff policies,” the official Beijing Daily wrote.

On China’s popular social media platform Weibo, the hashtag “Trump administration retreats again” ranked No. 2 on the hot search list.

The Trump administration late Friday exempted some widely used tech devices and components, including smartphones, computers, semiconductors, solar cells and flash drives, from reciprocal tariffs, according to guidance from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The move was viewed as a major win for tech giants, including Apple, which manufacture many products in China. But the long-lasting effects on the U.S. economy and small businesses from the China tariffs may be irreversible, CNBC previously reported.

A 20% tariff on all Chinese products still remains in effect, despite the tariff exemption announcement.
