US President Donald Trump has announced hefty tariffs on $US50 billion of Chinese import as Beijing responded in kind,
escalating a trade dispute between the world's two largest economies.

Key points:

Donald Trump vows further measures if Beijing strikes back
The tariffs would impact Chinese imports containing industrially significant technologies
China has threatened tariffs on US goods including soybeans, aircraft, and cars

Mr Trump, whose hard-line stance on trade has seen him wrangle with allies, said in a statement that a 25 per cent tariff would be
imposed on a list of strategically important imports from China.

The US Trade Representative's (USTR) office said the tariffs would begin on July 6, and be implemented in two tranches.

About $US34 billion ($45 billion) worth of imports on a tranche of 818 product categories — excluding television sets and other
consumer products — would the first to fall under the new rules.

A second tranche of tariffs on 284 product categories worth $US16 billion would go into effect at a later date after a public comment period.

Mr Trump also vowed further measures if Beijing struck back,but denied there was a trade war after announcing the tariffs.

Well he is on his way to trashing the economic growth that he and his followers like to falsely claim is his responsibility. This has to be one of the most idiotic moves yet but with regards to the cheeto in chief there is no ceiling to the idiocy.

I have had a growing suspicion over the last few weeks that Guliani actually hates Trump and is working against him. The suspicion grows with each interview Rudy does.

Go Rudy!

Revealed: Trump told G7 leaders over dinner that 'Crimea is part of Russia because everyone there speaks Russian'
as he called for nation to be allowed back into the summit

Diplomatic sources say Trump appeared to defend Russia's violent annexation of Crimea, saying most people in the peninsula spoke Russian anyway

During a discussion on foreign affairs on Friday, Trump apparently questioned why the G7 leaders were siding with Ukraine

'Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world,' he allegedly said

President Trump has repeatedly called for Russia to be brought back into the G7

It was thrown out of the international group in 2014 after the annexation

Trump simplified the violent conflict as 'something that happened a while ago'

Trump left early on Saturday, missing environmental talks, after arriving to a frosty reception

Trump questioned why allies opposed Russia's annexation of Crimea: report

President Trump reportedly questioned the reasoning behind NATO's opposition to Russia's annexation of Crimea and appeared to defend Russia's explanation for the move during conversations with world leaders at the Group of Seven summit last weekend.

Two diplomatic sources told BuzzFeed News that Trump told world leaders over dinner that Crimea was part of Russia because most of its population speaks the Russian language, adding that the president appeared to question why world leaders had sided with Ukraine over Russia.

"Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world," the president said, according to one source.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill on BuzzFeed's reporting.

Trump: 'Obama lost Crimea' to Russia

President Trump on Friday once again blamed his predecessor, former President Obama, for ceding Crimea to Russia in 2014.

Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Trump insisted that Obama was ultimately responsible for Moscow's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, because Russian President Vladimir Putin did not “respect” Obama or the United States.

“President Obama lost Crimea, just so you understand This was before I got there,” Trump said. “President Obama lost Crimea.”

Asked by a reporter to explain his accusation, Trump said: “Because Putin didn’t respect President Obama. President Obama lost Crimea because President Putin didn’t respect President Obama, didn’t respect our country and didn’t respect Ukraine.”

His accusation marked the second time in less than a week that Trump blamed his predecessor for Russia's invasion of Ukraine and annexation of Crimea four years ago.

He told reporters at the Group of Seven (G-7) summit on Saturday that Obama was responsible for the annexation, and called for the G-7 to readmit Moscow to the group.

Trump is right here,

the stupid European leaders got brainwashed by Obama and Kerry over Crimea,

Obama did really a stupid move over this, and it was probably a secret message to Putin over something we will never know about

**Dragonfly** · 16-06-2018, 03:12 PM

got to admire Trump over the Tariffs thing with the Chinese

not sure it will accomplish anything, but it will send the right message to World Trade Organization that new rules are in place, and globalism should stop

Although the lies have been told daily since he started campaigning, and his mental deficiency has poked through numerous times since then, in the last week the lies and the clear and present dementia has become so out-there that I find it impossible to believe that anyone, of any party, race, social class, gender, nationality, degree of patriotism, whatever, could still have confidence in this crass, utterly moronic buffoon.

Really? Within days the Chinese retaliated with $50B tarrifs of imports from the US.
And the Chinese have been smarter about it, loading tarrifs on products produced in Trump's base states.

it doesn't matter who the crazy person is, as long as the message is right

**Dragonfly** · 16-06-2018, 03:43 PM

Yeah, I know. I'm less incredulous at primitive people believing in tree fairies. That trump accolytes remain blind to his multiple deceptions, really simple to prove deceptions, makes it seem like, what has been said this week, that it's cultish blinkered non-thinking.
Why are there so many non-thinkers with blind faith in this dastardly moron?

If this is true (with the Crimea), then the Nobel comes sure... (And the EU will also be relieved, they need the trade with Russia anyway)

(forget the Singapore - that was achieved by NK/SK)

Dogma and fear plain and simple. Many white males and to a lesser extent white females are fearful of the demographic changes that the country is going through. Frankly America is becoming less white and they are deathly afraid of that reality. Hence the fake boarder crisis (migration on the southern boarder is at all time lows an has been since 2008), travel ban against mooslims, etc.

Then you add religion on top of that. Not true Christians however I am talking about evangelicals who are nasty hate filled hypocrites who are christian in name only. The fight against things like gay rights and abortion are above all else. Dogma and fear.

Thankfully for me most of these people are from the south and midwest and not out on the west coast where I live.

Disturbing if true. Judging by his actions, and by his supporters, it likely is true.

http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trumps-ex-wife-once-said-he-kept-a-book-of-hitlers-speeches-by-his-bed-2015-8

"According to a 1990 Vanity Fair interview, Ivana Trump once told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that her husband, real-estate mogul Donald Trump, now a leading Republican presidential candidate, kept a book of Hitler's speeches near his bed.

"Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed ... Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist," Marie Brenner wrote.
Hitler was one of history's most prolific orators, building a genocidal Nazi regime with speeches that bewitched audiences..... "

^ It is true.

**Davis Knowlton** · 17-06-2018, 11:02 AM

If he runs, I believe Trump will win a second term solidly, in the absence of any health issues (physical, not mental).

**cyrille** · 17-06-2018, 11:31 AM

Well didn't many people vote for him because they wanted to throw a spanner in the works?

By any reckoning they've got their spanner.

**Davis Knowlton** · 17-06-2018, 11:43 AM

^Of course that's true, and it will much depend on if a competent challenger can be identified. For the moment, I'm placing my bets on the stupidity of American voters.
