US

So 10% tariffs on our exports to the US.

Looks like every country started at 10% and only got bigger.

It we export so much beef to the US, why would me import it? I can never understand that.

We import more than we export to the US. I give it to the weekend then our tariff is dropped

And why would we import an inferior product?

[Booney]

We haven't imported beef from the US for about 20 years because of Mad Cow Disease.

That was my point, it was pointless bringing that up especially early when most were listening intently

Aus Beef Industry believes it's a 10% tariff not a total ban.

It’s still a little unclear whether Australian beef will be banned from the US.

Anthony Albanese said beef was part of the discussions with the US “but that didn’t progress, and so, that is where we’re at at this point”. “We’ll of course seek further clarity about all of the decisions that are made,” he said. “But the decision as well is to impose across-the-board tariffs on all goods entering the United States.”

The Red Meat Advisory Council (RMAC), however, insists there is no ban.

“While Australian meat exports will shortly be subjected to a 10 per cent tariff, there is no ban on Australian red meat and our trade with the US will continue,” RMAC chair John McKillop said in a statement.

10% tariff imposed on Australia because we have a 10% GST?

The easiest way that he could raise enormous sums is to have a tax on stupid Americans … oh, hang on.

The US Congress could remove the ‘loophole’ in the Executive Orders that he has used to impose tariffs. In fact the Dems tried to force a vote in Congress on it which they were entitled to do, and a vote had to be held within 15 days (or something close to that from memory).

The Republican response? The changed the definition of a day for this specific Legislation to 365 days to defer this.

You just can’t make this shit up.

The Dems should have changed the duration of 19 Jan 2025 to 20 Jan 2029 to a day when they had the chance.

Everyone else gets 10%. I would be interested to know the reasoning (or otherwise) on some of these countries. Bangladesh?

Quick google shows they imported $10 Billion from Bangladesh last year - mainly suits & clothes.

Most likely based on something he saw in QAnon.

A Big Mac to go up by 10%

The Yanks do all this to us and then we announce United are flying direct to Adelaide from the US at a time when travel to the US is declining and of course the SA government is subsidising them.
I know we are going to see a massive uplift in US military contractors coming here but I’m not sure subsidising them is a good look

I was thinking the same thing on the way to work
Problem is Trump would probably ban Qantas
Then again........ he would be doing Australians a favour forcing them to use a 1st world airline

Claim: EU tariffs on the US are 39%, so he imposes a 20% ‘reciprocal’ tariff.
Fact: EU weighted average tariff rate on the US? 3%

Claim: UK tariffs on the US are 10%, so he imposes a 10% ‘reciprocal’ tariff.
Fact: UK weighted average tariff rate on the US? 3%

Claim: Vietnam tariffs on the US are 90%, so he imposes a 46% ‘reciprocal’ tariff.
Fact: Vietnam weighted average tariff rate on the US? 5.1%

Claim: Taiwan tariffs on the US are 64%, so he imposes a 32% ‘reciprocal’ tariff.
Fact: Taiwan weighted average tariff rate on the US? 6.4%

What about Australia?

Claim: Australia tariffs on the US are 10%, so he imposes a 10% ‘reciprocal’ tariff.
Fact: There are effectively no tariffs on US goods due to the Australia and US Trade Agreement, AUSFTA, an agreement he just unilaterally reneged on.

* Trade-weighted average tariff rate is defined by dividing the total tariff revenue by the total value of imports

A dartboard may or may not have been used to determine the tariffs, which may or may not change at any time.

No real surprise there is no tariffs on Russia

Da Comrade, although trade between the US and Russia is tiny, approximately $3B each way.

I guess he didn't want to risk any pee pee pics getting out.
