The US agreed to actually discuss the situation and potentially come to an agreement. Because of that upcoming discussion we'll delay ~~adding an additional 25% (though~~ the original 25% ~~will remain in place~~ for now). Should that discussion not go well, we'll just continue with the plan to impose more tariffs.

Sounds reasonable to me. None of us want this trade war. If you're willing to negotiate an end, we'll hear you out. That doesn't mean we're going to back down.

That's not how I read this, this seems to be suspending the initial 25% electricity surcharge.

Looking at a few sources, I'm not entirely sure tbh.

Even so; I don't mind showing a bit of restraint given an opportunity to negotiate an agreement. Helps demonstrate that it's not the citizens of those states we're upset with; they're just caught in the crossfire between us and Washington.

We can always put the tariffs back, and in the meantime we can continue to expand into other markets and strengthen relationships with other nations.

Just watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW0pjiFCHZU Yes it's the original 25% he's putting a hold on while they talk about things.

It sounds like the US said "We're struggling to control Trump, please don't escalate while we try to talk through it"

Then impeach, and remove him...their inability to Run a Government with supposed allies, isn't our problem. Get your shit together and remove him if he's a loose cannon of stupidity.

Impeach Trump? It’s already happened…twice. What difference will a third time make?

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There is no restraint with Trump.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

There's no restraint, no respect for others, no compromise, no ability to complete a single thought while speaking, no willingness to reconsider his own choices, no humanity, no compassion, no thought given to how poor people will fair, no idea how to be a man, no inkling how to act appropriately, no understanding how to deal with negative feedback, no humility, no selflessness, no desire to learn facts, no belief in truth, no leadership skills, no idea how not to commit crimes, no understanding of what an oath is, no acceptance of justice for his crimes, and last but not least, no understanding of the Constitution.

The citizens of those states voted for him. I'm sick of blue vs red state. Even the blue states have a high percentage of people who voted for this.
