Trump urges for $100 billion more in tariffs

President Donald Trump ordered his administration to consider imposing tariffs on an additional $100 billion in Chinese imports, a salvo that sent U.S. stock futures tumbling on concern the world’s two largest economies were hurtling toward a full-blown trade war.
The move threatens to unravel efforts by top U.S. and Chinese trade officials to lower the heat and reach an agreement that could stave off an escalating conflict.
U.S. stock futures dropped on Trump’s latest trade directive. S&P 500 Index futures slid as much as 1.6 percent, after the underlying gauge ended up 0.7 percent on Thursday.
“In light of China’s unfair retaliation, I have instructed the USTR to consider whether $100 billion of additional tariffs would be appropriate under section 301 and, if so, to identify the products upon which to impose such tariffs,” Trump said in a statement issued by the White House.

It really is amazing to see so many (not all) Republicans and/or conservatives fall in love with tariffs overnight. I can’t figure it out

I’m not defending the tariffs, nipplebreath
I’m just correcting a poster who claimed tariffs have never been republican

It’s called re-negotiating fair trade you idiot. You don’t turn the ship without kicking up a large a wave you fool. Trade with China has been extremely onesided for 20’years Trump is doing what he said he would. Sit back and take some notes, you just might learn something

Yeah. And you’d think the party would never go down that road again and yet here we are
