Is it the most important effect of tariffs? No. But it's a nice public one, especially for people who aren't in the market for a new car.

Here's hoping someone does something about the White House's embarrassing decrees.

Dormamu, I came for bargain... Somehow it's putting a smile onto my face. In Europe is now difficult to preorder, and I didn't get one. But, if the units for US are halted, maybe, they will be diverted to EU? Then I'll buy.

> Trump hit China with an additional 34% duty on Wednesday, and hit Vietnam, where Nintendo has moved some of its production, with a 46% tariff.

It's ironic that all of these companies spent massive amounts of money to move their production facilities outside of China, just to have the rug pulled out from under them again.

    The tariffs are incoherent as they don't align at all with foreign policy.

    Not the first or last time for this admin.

      They don't even align with countries. You know why those odd territories have been given tariffs - because they have tlds. They can't even put a list of trading countries together.

        Or ISO-3166 numbers, but yeah. Most of those islands don't have independent trade policies, even the ones with people on them.
