Trump proposes 10% tariffs on Chinese imports from February
US President Donald Trump has pledged to hit the European Union with tariffs, adding that a 10% duty on Chinese imports could also come as soon as February 1.
Trump, who was speaking to reporters at the White House a day after being sworn in, cited the need to rectify the EU’s trade imbalances with the US while taking aim once again at Beijing over fentanyl trafficking.
“They treat us very, very badly. So they’re going to be in for tariffs,” Trump said of the EU. “You can’t get fairness unless you do that.” A day earlier, Trump accused the bloc of not importing enough American products, saying he would “straighten that out” by imposing duties or by urging for more oil and gas purchases.

The inflationary impact will be interesting and the 25% on Canada and Mexico will have more of an impact than 10% on China as Mexico is the largest exporter to the US, followed by China, then Canada.
Hopefully you find my posts helpful, but in no way should they be construed as advice. Make your own decision.

Donald Trump pardons ‘Silk Road’ drug kingpin Ross Ulbricht
United States President Donald Trump said today that he had pardoned Ross Ulbricht, the man behind the “Silk Road” online marketplace that facilitated millions of dollars of drug sales.
In 2015, Ulbricht was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of masterminding the “dark web” platform, on which some US$200 million ($353m) in narcotics were sold to customers across the world.
Ulbricht, who ran Silk Road under the alias “Dread Pirate Roberts” and who had also been accused of commissioning five murders, was sentenced to two life sentences for narcotics distribution and criminal enterprise.
It looks like pardoning Crims & other convicted sh*theads has signalled a new low for Trump

America is finding that Trump is introducing his religious beliefs. This narcotics criminal who is a bitcoin champion has been freed.

I think it a great outcome that Ross was pardoned.
Well done President Trump. Promises made, promises kept.

You could also say he has delivered 20% of his election promise within 3 days of taking office !! Glass half full or half empty.

When the contents of the glass are ultimately poisonous, half full or half empty is irrelevant. The result will be bad either way!
