They are levying tariffs on countries that have tariffs levied on them, and have done for years.
Does the EU impose costs on US imports? Yes, it does. Does Canada impose costs on US imports? Yes it does, nearing 400% in some cases. But that was all fine and nobody objected. It is a problem now that the US is seeking a fairer and more level playing field. It is a problem because the US tax payer doesn't want to subsidise waste and idiocy in other countries any more.
If you complain about this then you will appear like:
a) a hypocrit
b) a beggar
Persisting with one sided economic and moralistic arguments is delusional.
Why are so many of you begging? Don't you have any self respect?
Of course, it isn't you as such. You are just following regime narratives and instructions, as usual. I get why the numerous champagne socialists in our establishment are cheesed off. The David Millibands of this world, and there are many more, earning a million a year doing fake jobs. The wife of failed politician, Rory Stewart, whose charity lost a load of money and can no longer teach modern art in Afghanistan. All paid for by ordinary US tax payers, many in the Rust Belt living in towns that are falling to bits.
It has been like a vast money laundering operation to rinse ordinary Americans and transfer their wealth to posh grifters from Britain and elsewhere. On absolutely fake and ludicrous activities.
It is all of a piece with the situation on tariffs, on defence spending and so much else. They've had enough of it. I don't blame them. Try to see it from their point of view. Or are you too childish?
Our pathetic PM, who sums up everything that is wrong with THIS country and Europe, has failed to negotiate effectively with a president who has a soft spot for the UK. Campaigning against him during their election won't have helped, nor will all the poisonous rhetoric from Labour politicians during his previous term and over the summer.
Our establishment only have themselves to blame, and we pay the price. If you are doing the bidding of these clowns, then what does that say about you? It is bad enough that people vote for the useless cretins.
If we can afford Net Zero, a massive welfare state, foreign aid to countries with space programmes, and the costs of mass immigration, then don't be surprised if the Americans wonder why we need subsidising by them. It is like giving financial support to a hard up neighbour and then finding out they've been investing in expensive paintings and holidays in Mauritius. Think about it.
