That? https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/02/04/trump-china-tariffs-trade/ China swiftly retaliated Tuesday against President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on Chinese imports with levies on U.S. goods, which are slated to take effect Monday. They include 15 percent tariffs on U.S. coal and liquefied natural gas (LNG), a slew of new export restrictions and an antitrust investigation into Google, according to the Chinese government. Trump’s tariffs, which slap an additional 10 percent tax on all Chinese goods, went into effect after the United States and China did not strike a deal by 12:01 a.m. Eastern time Tuesday. China’s response further escalates trade tensions between the world’s largest economies. China’s customs and tariff regulator announced the 15 percent tariffs on coal and LNG, as well as 10 percent levies on crude oil, agricultural machinery and some vehicles. Its Commerce Ministry announced export restrictions on materials such as tungsten, which is used in high-tech products, and sanctions on two U.S. companies. The U.S. levies come on the heels of the White House’s decision Monday to postpone tariffs on Mexico and Canada after both countries pledged to enhance border security. Many Chinese products are already subject to tariffs, and the new measures are in addition to those fees.

Look it up then ______ The Fentenayl claim is complete trash, just more political theater. He cares nothing at all for poor rural hillbilly junkies https://www.cato.org/blog/fentanyl-smuggled-us-citizens-us-citizens-not-asylum-seekers. And migrants are not the ones carrying it An NPR-Ipsos poll last week found that 39 percent of Americans and 60 percent of Republicans believe, “Most of the fentanyl entering the U.S. is smuggled in by unauthorized migrants crossing the border illegally.” A more accurate summary is that fentanyl is overwhelmingly smuggled by U.S. citizens almost entirely for U.S. citizen consumers. Here are facts: Fentanyl smuggling is ultimately funded by U.S. consumers who pay for illicit opioids: nearly 99 percent of whom are U.S. citizens. In 2021, U.S. citizens were 86.3 percent of convicted fentanyl drug traffickers—ten times greater than convictions of illegal immigrants for the same offense. Over 90 percent of fentanyl seizures occur at legal crossing points or interior vehicle checkpoints, not on illegal migration routes, so U.S. citizens (who are subject to less scrutiny) when crossing legally are the best smugglers. The location of smuggling makes sense because hard drugs at ports of entry are about 97 percent less likely to be stopped than are people crossing illegally between them. Just 0.02 percent of the people arrested by Border Patrol for crossing illegally possessed any fentanyl whatsoever. The government exacerbated the problem by banning most legal cross border traffic in 2020 and 2021, accelerating a switch to fentanyl (the easiest-to-conceal drug). During the travel restrictions, fentanyl seizures at ports quadrupled from fiscal year 2019 to 2021. Fentanyl went from a third of combined heroin and fentanyl seizures to over 90 percent. Annual deaths from fentanyl nearly doubled from 2019 to 2021 after the government banned most travel (and asylum). It is monstrous that tens of thousands of people are dying unnecessarily every year from fentanyl. But banning asylum and limiting travel backfired. Reducing deaths requires figuring out the cause, not jumping to blame a group that is not responsible. Instead of attacking immigrants, policymakers should focus on effective solutions that help people at risk of a fentanyl overdose. -
A national home-building group said the tariffs threaten to slow residential construction. American fuel producers said it could mean higher gas prices. The generic drug industry trade association said it could increase drug shortages. Zippy Duvall, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation advocacy group, said U.S. farmers and rural communities would “bear the brunt of retaliation.” “It was Donald Trump who campaigned on lowering costs, and now it is Donald Trump who will raise them,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.). More homelessness, higher energy costs @sherpa there's your f'n energy president! Oh, fewer drugs so more pain and death, great job, and rural America gets what they deserve. Other countries will impose a trailor park tariff maybe

Mr. Trump says the tariffs will revive U.S. manufacturing. But Jay Timmons, CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers, said in a statement that “a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico threatens to upend the very supply chains that have made U.S. manufacturing more competitive globally.” Upsetting the economy? Hurting the USA? Wrecking businesses? -

Organizing the world response to Russian aggression was using the soft power of the US to pull everyone together, Ukraine is still alive and kicking. Also leading the fight to get manufacturing back in US, and restricting China access to technology. Those count? -
