Victor Reacts: Wait a Minute—Didn’t Democrats Say Tariffs Would Only Hurt Us? (VIDEO)
Democrats told us that tariffs would ONLY hurt the United States, so why are other countries lining up to drop their tariffs and come to the table?
with The Gateway Pundit reported,
President Trump’s tariffs are already having an impact.
Earlier this week, Trump announced a sweeping new trade policy that included a universal 10 percent tariff on all imports into the United States.
In addition to this baseline measure, the administration introduced a system of reciprocal tariffs targeting countries with significant trade surpluses over the U.S.
The tariffs vary in severity, with higher rates imposed on nations deemed to have particularly unbalanced trade relationships or who refuse to buy American goods.
However, many countries are already offering the U.S. concessions:
Vietnam — Following the announcement of a nearly 50 percent tariff on their imports, Vietnam has immediately entered negotiations with the White House.
President Trump reported a “very productive call” with Vietnam’s Communist Party General Secretary To Lam, during which Lam expressed a willingness to reduce tariffs to zero contingent on the signing of a free trade agreement.
India — India has initiated discussions with the U.S. to address the trade barriers.
Officials are reportedly exploring the possibility of reducing or eliminating tariffs on certain U.S. imports and increasing purchases of American goods.
Israel — Israel wants to negotiate terms and potentially secure exemptions or reductions and has already agreed to scrap all its tariffs on U.S. imports
Prime Minister Netanyahu will further discuss the issue with Trump on Monday.
European Union (27 countries) — The EU has proposed lowering car tariffs and increasing purchases of U.S. energy and military equipment in an effort to negotiate exemptions and reductions.
Trump has long complained about the EU’s unwilligness to buy American cars.
Japan — Japan has signaled a willingness to negotiate by pledging increased imports of U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) and investments in artificial intelligence.
South Korea — South Korea is looking at possible trade concessions that would involve leveraging strategic sectors like semiconductors to reach a favorable agreement.
Thailand — Facing the prospect of billions in losses, the Thai government is planning to increase imports from the U.S. and reduce tariffs on American products to address the trade imbalance.
The American worker has been getting taken advantage of for decades and our so-called leaders have been allowing it to happen. That ends now. All it took was one president that was willing to put America first.
And one final note, if Tariffs don’t work, why did all these other countries put such steep tariffs on us?
