Trump, obviously scared to impose the total cost of his tariffs on consumers before elections and Christmas spending, announced late this evening that he will impose the new tariffs Monday but will hold off on the full 25%.

He should know the Trumpkins will happily pay the 25% and if he is going to be a bad arse he should go ahead and impose the entire tariff.

The Chinese have said they will not talk if he imposes the tariffs. So much for this being a negotiating tactic.

It is discouraging. It look like the talks were about to start again and we could make some real progress and then this.

quote:

Officials had said the duties would start out at 25%, but ended up deciding to phase them in, starting at 10% next Monday before going to 25% at the beginning of 2019.

“We wanted to give people more of a chance to look for alternative supplies…to make adjustments,” a senior administration official told reporters. Other officials have said they also wanted to diminish the impact on consumers in the holiday shopping season.

That is what I said when I read the breaking news just a few minutes ago.

Not these Trump tariffs again.

You should be disappointed and whine about Trump only imposing 10% if you are ready for war.

When did liberals start to argue like a college freshman that took his first econ class? They used to understand that you couldn't explain trade agreements with a single supply and demand curve.

I love American jobs and families. That is why I like cheap imports and inputs that enable the employment of literally millions of Americans.

What is the purpose of 25% tariffs again? I believe you may have accidentally left that part out.

When China cheats, everyone loses but them. If you can't accept this truth, you're a moron.

You honestly should move to China because it seriously looks like you support them over us. They won't even acknowledge they have done anything wrong yet, so no we weren't about to make real progress.

China can’t make it to Christmas without our soybeans. They bend the knee in November. Stop acting like you know what you are talking about.

The same as the 10%--to get more favorable treatment of big lobbying US multinational companies that want to build plants and invest in China?
