The Onion has the best headline for situations like that

Italy hasnt even recovered to 2008 levels
I could do this for many other European countries if you want
The words honest and fair have the opposite meaning of how you use them, which makes your post incredibly hilarious.

So FoxNews, thanks for confirming. "Let's look at the most positive stat for me, see, you're worse, lul"
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...09144289505174Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable
This fucking guy.
I wonder if this is 125% on top of the whatever amount he has set. Well at least he gave up on the tariff nonsense for the world. Except the 10%, we can return to the world of not knowing when he plans to destroy trade in the US ,defunding science and disappearing people to El Salvador . Peace at last![]()
So China will just sell their shit to the US through a proxy like Vietnam with 10% tariffs, and vice versa. Wow what an amazing turn of events, absolutely unbelievable.
The real question is if this will stay too!!!
He has folded like a bitch on this one. No reason to believe he wont fold on the new round of tariffs
Worth pointing that 10% tariffs are still pretty bad but at least its not the collective suicide he has been planning. Its going to part of the radiation poisoning we are being subjected to. Defunding of science, destruction of due process and destruction of state capability
Trump is a weak, pathetic coward. He tried to bully the free market but he blinked first.
Now I get to go to all my Alabama relatives, the ones saying "hey, if 170 countries all have tariffs they must be good things, right?" and shove this delay in their faces. They'll be fed an excuse by the usual sources (Russian bots), but they'll have to look for it.
So with this 125% tariff, other companies might be able to replace Chinese products, at a more expensive price. This will take time and will only work if guaranteed; tough luck with this presidency.
90 days does nothing, sure short term it's a relief but everyone who source their products from China are fucked, China is Americas third largest marked, so everyone exporting to China is also fucked.

You do realise many counties in Europe have been around 1000+ years, the US is a blip in all that history and I would bet many will still be around when the US fragments, which if you carry on with trying to run a country as a business will happen. Oligarch's are just kings and lords without the title.
