#Trump #tarrifs forcing #Pakistan to divert hard earned cash reserves to the american regime.

Naked attempt to pause Pak's exemplary #EnergyTransition, and force us to buy American oil in a deal to have the tarrifs removed.

Why couldn't they offer us solar panels instead? Oh wait.

We have a huge American hangover. Its past time we tried "balancing" between the US and China and rework our policies to reflect a multipolar world.

Trump's #TradeWar With #China Is Now Hurting #Hollywood —and US #SoftPower

On Thursday, #Chinese officials retaliated against President Donald Trump’s tariffs by imposing new restrictions on US movies. That’s a big blow to America’s cultural cachet in the nation.

WIRED · Trump's Trade War With China Is Now Hurting Hollywood—and US Soft PowerBy Angela Watercutter

My key takeaway from the past weeks of political and economic madness originating from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. is to remind myself not to think of the future as a linear extrapolation of how we got to where we are today. It's challenging but very liberating and empowering at the same time. (And yes, in hindsight the beginning of the global Covid pandemic in 2020 was a similar tipping point.) #tarrifs #COVID19 #randommusing

"Imagine trying to manage a supply chain right now.

Every 48 hours, the WH is announcing, or un-announcing, or re-announcing, or creating massive carve outs to, a new trade rule.

Why would anyone anywhere build a new factory under these conditions?"
-D Thompson

Trump’s admin exempted smartphones, computers & other electronics from its so-called reciprocal tariffs in win for Apple (& shoppers). This lowers the CN tariff from 125%.

Large USA companies most affected by Trump's trade war is iPhone and Tesla because these companies have integrated their businesses with China (🥰 Tesla tarrifs). Trump would like these companies to move their manufacturing to USA, but this will take time and money.
I'm not aware of any Chinese companies that are affected to the same extent. China has even used tarrifs as an opportunity to propose closer ties with Europe.
Who will be more affected by Trump's tariff war in the long term? #tarrifs
