It isn’t anything different than Biden spending package and inflationary practices.

At least we are trying to reset the global markets with it rather than taking it without dinner first.

Admittedly it’s a longer term play than Joe’s. But it’s still a continuation of the same for the consumer with a possible long term gain.

Interesting that externalities like pollution are now considered a variety of "government failure."

Can someone explain why we couldn’t have just not tariffed these goods to begin with and what we gained from implementing them that is no longer necessary?

I give him credit for being a fast learner.

Don’t be too hasty. There’s still time for someone to make a TACO joke and Trump to instead double the tariff.

Sorry American cattle farmers, globalism is back. I can’t wait to hear thethe tell me all about how this is brilliant because domestic demand is greater than supply and so we need to import it to lower prices for consumers without a trace of irony.

I want to know why Trump doesn't just buy Argentina and make it the 51st state, Seems like the smart move.

To solve short term supply constraints on something essential like beef? Yeah I’m very much in support of it. What I don’t care about is the same thing happening to non essential goods like toasters.

Argentina is effectively ours right now as will the rest of the western hemisphere will become.

Looks like truckers are seeing big raises now thst illegals are getting booted.

Odd thing that deportation solves almost all issues.

I’m assuming you get to go down the list of all goods and determine for the rest of us what’s essential vs non essential

Wasn’t one of the big tariff talking points getting Australia and other countries to buy our beef? And didn’t we place tariffs on beef?

A friend from Argentina talks with great fondness of the beef from his homeland. I, for one, welcome our new Argentinian beef imports.

Correct... another disastrous dumb assumption policy from the worst president since FDR

Foods kind of easy but maybe not

Why is this even the question. I think we should absolutely have alternative solutions for things line food lined up to cover supply shortages. That’s what’s happening here. Responsible management of our countries economy.
