WHY THE TARIFFS?
Soo many questions. Just note: Trump has multiple objectives: Increase revenue while preaching onshoring. He claims it to be aiming for a non-political base on reciprocity and a fairer trading system worldwide. The goal? You have a universal tariff across the board.
How to get there:
- Read his books. It’s not one round of negotiation it is MULTIPLE ROUNDS.
- He uses sector-specific surcharges and country-specific duties, often involving multiple rounds of negotiation.
- Immediate result? Distortion in his own and everyone else’s economy.
- His goal: Lower dollar, lower taxes, cut regulations, border.
- It takes time…1 – 4 months. And it will be over. In the meantime tariff talk rules the ‘news’ roost.
