The #trade imbalance with a country like Vietnam has resulted in the US slapping levies of 46 percent as part of Donald Trump’s so-called ‘liberation day tariffs’. The country is a manufacturing hub and the prices for sneakers by brands like Nike and Adidas will end up costing more, potentially hitting workers hardest.

And yes, the #Trump #Regime is dellusional thinking the #USA is irreplaceable when in fact it most certainly is!

#Manufacturers like "P.R." #China, #Vietnam, #Japan, #India et. al. are quick to #pivot to other #markets like the #EU and the #GlobalSouth.

  • Just like penalizing #tariffs and #taxes in #Brazil didn't really get them much #industrialization and instead merely made certain items and products just unaffordably expensive to import and buy.

The matter of the fact is that this ain't 1945: the #US needs the #world more than vice-versa, espechally since the world moves on and both #EU and #NATO will continue to exist, thrive and expand even without the USA!

And because of #idiotmath.

Sorry for a tiktok link but I think the quality of the explanation justifise it. For those who are unwilling to view tiktok the presenter very clearly explains the real math that went into the fatally flawed logic & matches it to the seemingly complex, but actually embarrassing logic. Bottom line is that #Trump expects a 1:1 #tradebalance with every country. As if #Vietnam could ever manage that...

Walking through an #OldNavy store (budget clothing in USA) & noting that everything I'm checking is made in #Vietnam or #Bangladesh. I don't remember what the #tariff on Bangladesh was but 96% rings a bell for Vietnam. Old Navy, like most retailers in their space, has something like 7-10% margin. Prices here will effectively double leaving #lowincome & #middleincome folks in a pinch and Old Navy and similar companies in trouble. Everyone is in trouble.

To Lam, Vietnam’s top leader, in Hanoi last month. He was one of the first world leaders to reach out to President Trump after details of the new tariffs were announced.

Se está extendiendo el rumor de que #Nintendo podría repercutir los aranceles de #Trump no a los consumidores estadounidenses, sino a los europeos. De ser cierto eso, Nintendo merecería perder completamente el mercado europeo para siempre, y esto lo dice un exfanboy de la marca.

#Vietnam, donde parece que se fabrica la #NintendoSwitch2, está negociando ahora con #EstadosUnidos, así que la situación puede cambiar.

As #landmines are in the news recently, a story about a rat who has uncovered more than 100 landmines and pieces of unexploded ordinance in #Cambodia. Unfortunately there are millions more in the country, a legacy of the #Vietnam war and other conflicts. A doctor I know used to live in the region- he told me innocent children are often the victims. But it's left to charities to clear up the mess

"This kind of heavy-handed approach could undo years of careful work rebuilding U.S.-Vietnam trust after decades of war."
