I think it’s unlikely with the UK, as we trade either at a small deficit or surplus depending on the cycle so what he’s saying ‘Hey Keir, why don’t you buy a bit more of our LPG?’. US is the biggest producer of it. Whereas he wants the Germans to buy a lot more of it with the Russian pipeline switched off. Musk mouthing off with the AFD looks rather stupid in that context.

benjii Posted February 3 Posted February 3 21 hours ago, Tamesaint said: USA is in danger of losing its "soft power" status . Without doubt ever since WW2 it has led the western world. After just 2 weeks of Trump however this dominance is beginning to crack. In Canada there is great anti American sentiment with a don't buy American boycott of goods. Withdrawing foreign aid will create a vacuum in the third world which will be readily filled by Russia and China. European leaders are understandably wary of the mercurial US leader. Trump probably doesn't care about soft power. Maybe he is right but America will lose out if it no longer leads the western world. He's not right, he's a fucking idiot. 3
benjii Posted February 3 Posted February 3 19 hours ago, LVSaint said: Many of Trump's supporters in their bubble are clearly not understanding the implications of tariffs. Right wing news sources and the Truth Social propaganda machine are not discussing anything other than, this is all good because it will force nations to shore up their borders, ending immigrants and fentanyl entering (only 1% of fentanyl arrives from Canada). Oh, and the exporters will be made to the tariffs...just like Mexico paying for the wall, right? Wait a few months when they're, and all our wallets are hit with the implications of tariffs (and their reciprocations from other trading countries), more farmer bailouts, etc. EU and UK tariffs next up. I'm sure it'll happen, Trump hasn't been backing down on his promises lately. Frankly, the idiots get what they deserve. They voted for Trump because he said he would make life cheaper. However he also said he would make all imports way more expensive. Obviously he lied about the latter point, though, because he pretended tariffs are paid by foreign exporters. Either that or he's a div. Stupid people. 4

Gloucester Saint Posted February 4 Posted February 4 3 hours ago, AlexLaw76 said: seems to be getting his way so far. So he claims. On defence spending amongst some NATO members, he’s always had a point. On tariffs, there will be claims and counter-claims. He wants countries to buy more US LPG but it’s a stupid way to do it, because when he’s out of his honeymoon lap he’s pissed off key allies like Canada for a long time. And it’s far from certain that all of the GOP Senators will back him either - see budget amendment saga over Christmas. Only takes 3 or more GOP to rebel - and the remaining non-cult GOP Senators do not like any trade restrictions bar China, Iran and Russia (just about on the latter).
Guided Missile Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 On 11/06/2018 at 18:03, Guided Missile said: All the politicians, millionaire liberal "luvvies", middle class European sheep and most of the rest, were wrong about Trump. I liked him when I first read "Art of the Deal" back in 1987. Anyone that rubs politicians up the wrong way and is well on the way to achieving world peace, fair treatment for American workers and jobs for minorities is OK by me. It just shows what a successful businessman can do, compared to a career politician. So, ladies, it looks like the two threads, Trump and Brexit, are going to intertwine in a predictable fashion. Trump threatens tariffs and the EU backs down, thus protecting US jobs. The UK, independent of the EU, negotiates a trade deal with the US, thus avoiding tariffs...thus protecting UK jobs. Apart from those mentally challenged DEI posters on ignore, I look forward to anyone, anyone, who can support either the EU or Starmer. Brexit is coming home. Let the insults begin.... 5

benjii Posted February 5 Posted February 5 There are various possible explanations for this statement: - he just said it off the cuff without thinking - he said it for a strategic reason, such as prompting escalation from Iran and creating a pretext for war on Iran - he said it because he wants his friends and families to be given nice contracts in the development projects I would say the last one is most likely, and the top is least likely, but the middle is likely to happen at some point. 2
