He calls that negotiation. That's why China ignores him. He doesn't have the actual authority to play that game since tariffs are to be voted by the Congress to be effective. Sooner or later his house of cards will scramble. He is relying on this false pretense of emergency to bypass the Congress for now to play his stupid negotiation game.

First, manufacturing jobs aren't jobs of the future. That's why manufacturing was moved overboard. Second, your estimate is way too agressive, it takes decades and some supply chains cannot be moved at all. Third, the current unemployment rate is around 4% which is almost full employment. Where will you find the workers for these manufacturing jobs current people in the USA aren't qualified for?

Interesting how you, Americans, are totally incapable to see thing outside the dichotomy Reps vs Dems.

Who is in charge now? So, who is trying to create low value jobs using tariffs to force manufacturing to move back to the USA?

Days after the USA ambassador in Canada said Trump was done with the 51st State shit. I suppose Trump will rename the ambassador function to embarrassador by an executive order.

Nothing to worry about, Trump will create manufacturing jobs to make your degree completely obsolete and give you a job to pay your debt.

Obviously you don't know how research funding works. But worst, you don't know what motivates people to work hard to earn a research position.

That's a lot of MAGA to sterilize.

The jobs of the future aren't in the manufacturing. These are the jobs of the past.

Yeah, almost terrorism. They refuse to be my lackeys and lick my boots. They want to have a saying in world economy and enrich themselves and they aren't even American!
