U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he intends to impose auto tariffs “in the neighborhood of 25 per cent” and similar duties on semiconductors and pharmaceutical imports, the latest in a series of measures threatening to upend international trade.
On Friday, Trump said levies on automobiles would come as soon as April 2, the day after members of his cabinet are due to deliver reports to him outlining options for a range of import duties as he seeks to reshape global trade.
Trump told reporters on Tuesday that sectoral tariffs on pharmaceuticals and semiconductor chips would also start at “25 per cent or higher, and it will go very substantially higher over the course of a year.”
Hey, no one could afford healthcare before, now they can’t afford healthcare plus 25%!
Good. This will totally kill US industry. Maybe this will tell the most conservative managers and company owners that they have to spend their political influence on stopping him.
Read the headline and thought that ketchup chips were just a step too far for the orange butt plug (it’s semiconductor chips).
Lol, I thought the same. Ketchup and All Dressed are the two best flavours of chips, both are Canadian.
Tariffs on crisps are next week

Potato chips

Those in the UK and Ireland often wonder the exact opposite question. It’s a regional difference in the English language.
It is even in the link: Chip! Ha, gotchu!
