Tarrifs = higher prices, non tariffed good prices will also rise because they can and still be less than tariffed goods. Prices will rise overall, this is not my opinion, its a fact. Bone bone (and maybe Blitty) can confirm.

Also the possibility of the US dollar value falling vs other currencies may make things costlier as well.

You must not have read that list.

Hundreds of billions, trillions, some of the biggest companies in the world.

Anyway, it's not going to fail.

Just gonna be tough sledding for the next few months.

Time will tell, I'm sure patience will run thin if prices continue to rise.

Vietnam to cut tariffs

MSN

 

[roguejuror]

Vietnam is the next China in terms of cheap manufacturing/labor

and even though they share a similar hard line central party structure it has positioned itself as a rival of China, they are both very distrusting of each other

there's a huge bet in Vietnam by the west

Active tariffs result in higher prices, no doubt about it. I think here the idea was that some of the threat was a negotiation to drive prices down... I have no idea what the plan is now.

I don't think anyone knows the plan. It's still early, but the economy is the biggest reason he was hired. He's been good on the other issues.

Define "not a lot", Bone Bone

This is likely going to kill Nissan, and will hurt Porsche badly.

This thread is increasingly bewildering.

Autos manufactured in Mexico and Canada are not considered imported for the purpose of tariffs only non north American parts. The MI econ numbers use an economic definition of imported.
Direct imports are small.

I have no clue about where most cars are made. Are a lot of Toyotas and Hondas made in Canada/Mexico?

 

[Boner_18]

A lot of a lot of cars are made in Canada and Mexico (and the US).

I did not know that. Trump said "any car not made in the US" yesterday, did he not?

I think he said that to appeal to all the F-150 bros with Fuck Joe Biden flags.

But he’s full of shit.

The NY real estate guy Trump? Don't know. I haven't actually viewed or read what he said.

The Problem With Car Tariffs: What’s an Import?

Supply chains extend across U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada, making it hard to say what’s American-made.

Looks like it's complicated. NAFTA and successors defined imports as not including NA assembled vehicles. Regardless, it's much more (on a total car or part of cars in sum) than I thought.

Trump : You have to buy my stuff.

World: We don't need your stuff

Trump: How dare you not need our stuff.
=======================================================

Trump: we don't need anyone else. They only take our stuff.

World: fine.

Trump : but you can't work together! You have to buy my stuff.

This is some Pixar despicable me stuff.

Despicable Me is from Illumination Studios (a Universal property). Both Pixar and Illumination are American media companies, another huge export of our great nation as evidenced by your reference.
