There will be few changes in the tariffs since Trump is using another way to impose them.

Some of Shitshizpants' tariffs were humongous: he imposed a 50% tariff on Brazil for trying and convicting Bolsonaro, when the actual fact is that Brazil bought more from the US than vice versa.

How was Bolsonaro's conviction a threat to US security?

Of course. we cannot expect Trumpaholics to accept anything involving percentages. Trump has no clue how tariffs or percentages work. Imagine that! A businessman who can't compehend percentages!

But lowering a tax from 50% to 15%, an only for six months seems to be a very drastic change.

Your understanding of foreign affairs and international finances is flawed.

Nooooo, it is Shitzhizpants that levied tariffs based on the false assumption that international trade is only fair when every country A buys the same value of products from country B as country B buys from country A. And unless this is the deal, then the country that fails to buy accordingly is cheating. This is NOT SO, and that is what the Supreme Court very belatedly decided.

The reason this is not so is that some countries have different resources and climates than others. I doubt that any two countries equal in what they can export.

One huge fact is that Canada has immense hydroelectric capacity. It also is very accessible by water, so that ore can cheaply be delivered to aluminum plants in the Great Lakes region. Canada can produce more aluminum cheaper than any other country. This mean that Canada can sell aluminum cheaper, and to the demented an feeble mind of Shitshizpants, for companies like Alcoa to sell aluminum cheaper is cheating.

Somehow, Shitzhizpants also thought that it was a national emergency for the US when Brazil arrested, tried an imprisoned the environmental disaster named Bolsonaro to prison for staging a coup. You know, like Shitshizants tried in on Jan 6.

Trump understands tariffs. You clearly do not.

Tariffs are TAXES, and they are paid by those importing goods into the US by importers. No tariffs are paid by any foreign government. Over 90% of Shitshizpants miserable tariffs were passed on to consumers.

And Shitshizpants' tariffs did NOT shift the trade balance between the US and exporting countries, The reality is that the balance was MORE UNFAVORABLE to the US. Trump is just stupid.

Shitshizpats is so moronic that he does not even comprehend percentages, claiming that he has lowered prescription drug costs by 600%.

Being as I am a capitalist investor, I understand that everyone who wants to make money on investments has to understand percentages.

Tariffs can be both beneficial and harmful, depending on their purpose, implementation, and economic context.

Benefits ​

Protecting domestic industries: Tariffs make imported goods more expensive, giving local businesses a competitive edge and helping emerging or “infant” industries grow without being overwhelmed by established foreign competitors.

Job preservation and creation: By shielding domestic manufacturers from foreign competition, tariffs can help maintain existing jobs and potentially create new ones in related sectors like logistics, retail, and services.

Encouraging local production: Higher import costs incentivize companies to manufacture domestically, which can strengthen industrial capabilities, promote technological investment, and reduce trade deficits over time.

National security and strategic purposes: Tariffs can protect critical industries, such as defense or energy, ensuring that essential goods remain available domestically.

Context ​

The impact of tariffs depends on how they are applied, which industries are targeted, and the broader economic strategy. Short-term benefits, such as protecting jobs or nascent industries, may be outweighed by long-term costs like higher prices, trade tensions, and slower economic growth. Public opinion also varies; for example, Americans generally support protective measures if they have clear objectives and safeguards, but they are concerned about affordability and trade uncertainty.

Conclusion​

Tariffs are neither inherently good nor bad. They are a policy tool that can protect domestic interests and generate revenue, but they can also increase costs for consumers, provoke retaliation, and disrupt global trade. Their effectiveness depends on careful design, targeted application, and alignment with broader economic and trade goals.
