I'm absolutely disgusted that we've announced we're just going to grab our ankles and back up for this. Similarly with Canada backing down on its electricity tariffs. All these world leaders bowing and grovelling at the feet of this imbecilic dictator are just validating him and it's only going to make him worse, which in turn makes everything worse. The rest of the world needs to unite and stand firm against trump.
That's the problem with countries being run by responsible adults. They tend to think of the interests of the country instead of petty payback and point scoring. It is a shame the US didn't elect such a person. Idiots try and drag you down to their level.
Tariffs raise domestic prices and the price of inputs for local industry. The US economy and it's citizens are being punished enough by Trump's stupidity.
Also the real prize for us is the export markets the US will be losing. When the US pushed their LNP stooge Scott Morrison into pissing off China, US exporters picked up billions of export business at our expense. Time to return the favour before Dutton does a repeat.
