US President Donald Trump on April 2 announced reciprocal tariffs on US trading partners, including 20 percent on goods from the European Union, a move that some experts fear will set off a trade war and cause the world’s economy to tank.
The issue might be that this isn’t actually a negative for the government and its cronies. They want to control their population and making everyone poorer actually helps with that. It could lead to a large-scale rebellion, but I think the conservative brainwashing is far along enough that most conservatives and especially the MAGAs will just ignore it.
Uhm, the EU has tarrifs on imports from outside the EU though? Obviously not as high as the US ones for the Asian countries here, but they are still there.
Maybe the US will understand that these tariffs primarily do over thing: raise prices for their own citizens.
Living in the EU, I’m looking forward to the non-tariffed Switch 2.

The point is that Orange Guy doesn’t affect my Switch 2 pricing.
