Good luck with APTA

If enacted, many US companies bringing in goods from China facing a tax of at least 104% - roughly doubling their cost in a matter of months.

Trump has responded to retaliation with similar enormous escalatory threats before.

Recall his threat to hit alcohol from Europe with a 200% tax; or place a 50% tariff on Canada’s steel and aluminium.

In both those cases, the two sides reached a kind of détente and the hikes never materialised.

But those clashes involved longstanding allies. China has been a target of Washington before Trump.

And despite clear signals from the White House that it is interested in cutting a deal around tariffs and TikTok, Beijing has yet to show much interest in negotiating.

Russia Scrambles to Shield Economy as Oil Prices Crater

The Kremlin pledged Monday to shield Russia, the world’s second-largest crude exporter, from a global “economic storm” battering oil markets. 

Russia’s Urals crude also hit its lowest level since 2023, with prices nearing $50. The oil plunge threatens Russia’s budget, heavily reliant on energy revenues to fund its costly military campaign in Ukraine. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said authorities are closely tracking the “tense and emotionally overloaded” situation to mitigate the fallout.

Donald Trump is continuing to defend his tariffs policies over on Truth Social.

In his most recent update, the president says "countries all over the World are talking to us" and that "tough but fair parameters are being set" in those negotiations.

Trump adds that he has spoken to the Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba this morning, and says that the country has treated the US "very poorly on trade".

"They don’t take our cars, but we take MILLIONS of theirs. Likewise Agriculture, and many other '"things".

"It all has to change, but especially with CHINA!!!", he adds.

Agreed
