Could be good for British GDP and transport stocks as I speculate they could pass goods from china to UK 10%? and then from UK to USA...
That's a very good point, the vast majority of people I saw in my trips to the US were wearing absolutely horrible shapeless jeans, K-Mart/Costco/Target type made in Indonesia/Vietnam/Laos stuff. Same places hit with massive tariffs initially but got the reduced tariff everywhere non-Chinese did.

If I was a Chinese company I'd be renting a warehouse anywhere else, importing and relabelling them as Made in UK/Indonesia/Vietnam/Laos, and shipping them to the US, 145% tariff down to 10%

Some fucker has probably already done it though, I'm always too late to the party :lol:

Dow Jones almost fully recovered. FTSE100 back to exactly where it was.

Agent Orange just issued a Aug 1 deadline for 25% tariffs on a bunch of countries including Japan and South Korea.

I wonder if the markets will take him as seriously, at least initially, this time around.
