President Donald Trump on Friday said he is “recommending a straight 50% Tariff on the European Union” after complaining that trade negotiations have stalled.

The steep new import duties would start on June 1, Trump wrote on Truth Social. The EU “has been very difficult to deal with,” Trump wrote. “Our discussions with them are going nowhere!”

Trump’s announcement came less than 30 minutes after he threatened to impose a tariff of at least 25% on Apple if the company does not start manufacturing iPhones in the United States.

Stock futures sank immediately following Trump’s posts, which showed the president once again wielding the threat of massive import taxes in response to economic activity he disfavors.

Derp.

Classically business scale themselves that way. 1/3 US, 1/3 Asia and 1/3 ROW. It is super normal. In particular for small tech businesses. If they can't manage that they suck at international sales.

He's a moron....... But I'm guessing for him to be so concerned about all this. He has to be affected financially by it somehow.

I say we up the Tariffs 😂

Are you as dumb as Lloyd and need the Internet to think for you? Never been in a position of management of any type to see where your companies markets were?

Was at Automate and SAE NVH recently and almost every single company there with US roots said their sales are way down. All because of the morons tariff bullshit.

Perhaps a question you can think about so you understand the answer. Why did apples stock drop?

If one were not a half assed business guy you saw the writing on the wall and backed up your supply line, regardless of the 1/3 rule idiot boy proposed above.
