Dude read the room Trump got a big win with his Ukraine deal. Now he tightens the tariffs against China bigly.

China is fairly fucked as they do not ship food to the USA.

That sounds more like 2 sets of people got screwed here.

First are the Ukrainians who got their country destroyed because they decided to fight a proxy war for the US regime and now are getting what's left for them (since US has already decided the occupied parts belong to Russia) from their resources plundered by the US regime!

Second are the Americans who want to receive any kind of package with international shipping who now have to pay a much higher price because their government is so desperate for money that it is trying to squeeze every penny it can out of everyone including its own taxpayers!
Americans purchasing power just got weaker with this up-to 145% tariff Trump imposed on them (not on China).

I completely agree with you. The US government has been sacrificing its own peoples in proxy wars since 2022. Along with the loss of its own resources a large area has been occupied by Russia. The US has been continuously providing weapons and financial support for years to continue the war from the luxurious mentality of Ukraine joining NATO. And now its turn to pay for it. According to the recent agreement, the US will have to give a significant part of Ukraine's valuable mines.

The US government will now accept almost all of Russia conditions because till today they have not been able to weaken of their main opponents. On the contrary, US relations with NATO countries have deteriorated, especially after Donald Trump came to power.

I think Trump wanted to show his power to the governments of every country in the world through his tariff announcement, but his decision is being criticized by the people of his own country and he is still immersed in confusion.
