Mainecat Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Trump tarrifs = Republican tax increases. Now it’s the EU US moves to put new tariffs on billions worth of EU imports Source: AP LONDON -- The United States wants to put tariffs on $11.2 billion worth of EU goods — from airplanes to Gouda cheese to olives — to offset what it says are unfair European subsidies for plane maker Airbus. While the size of the tariffs is small compared with the hundreds of billions the U.S. and China are taxing in their trade war, it suggests a breakdown in talks with the European Union over trade at a time when the economy is already slowing sharply. The U.S. and EU have been negotiating since last year about how to avoid tariffs that President Donald Trump has wanted to impose to reduce a trade deficit with countries like Germany. The U.S. Trade Representative's office released late Monday a list of EU products it would tax in anticipation of a ruling by the World Trade Organization this summer. The U.S. had in 2004 complained to the WTO, which sets the rules for trade and settles disputes, that the EU was providing unfair support to Airbus. The WTO ruled in May last year that the EU had in fact provided some illegal subsidies to Airbus, hurting U.S. manufacturer Boeing.

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted April 9, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 9, 2019 I’ll reserve judgement on this but generally I agree with Trump on defending our products and workforce through tariffs and trade deals.

They are using unfair business practices that directly hurt American industry creating a propped up competitive advantage. I’m all about punishing them. The US tried to fight it in the WTO and that failed. Fuck em. I don’t like Tariffs, but sometimes you don’t have a choice. 7 minutes ago, Highmark said: Derp... Deep derp?

Mainecat Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Just wondering how this effects hundreds of American companies large and small who have invested millions to develop EU business partners. The EU will be looking for lower cost alternatives just on our increased raw materials taffifs alone. FUCK TRUMP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted April 9, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 9, 2019 Glad to see the WTO is on top of things. Why the fuck would we want to be involved in these organizations at all? The U.S. had in 2004 complained to the WTO, which sets the rules for trade and settles disputes, that the EU was providing unfair support to Airbus. The WTO ruled in May last year that the EU had in fact provided some illegal subsidies to Airbus, hurting U.S. manufacturer Boeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
