Trump is threatening to jack up tariffs on China by an additional 50% unless Beijing abandons its retaliatory duties on U.S. imports.

Trump in a Truth Social post gave China until Tuesday to undo its 34% tariffs, imposed in response to the “reciprocal” duties unveiled at the White House last week.

Trump also wrote that he will cancel all planned talks with China if they do not comply with his demand.

    If they bomb your local city and then collapse does that change the fact they bombed your local city?

      i doubt very much that they want a nuclear wasteland next to them nor do they have any history of using nuclear weapons; however europe’s ally does and they’re already in the process of screwing over europe more than russia could ever hope to achieve.

        Lol, who doesn’t have a history if using nuclear weapons? The successor state to the nation that regularly tested nukes?

            There’s always a first for everything and it isn’t as if the Kremlin being run by decent caring people who have what’s best for people in their hearts.

            They are in fact quite bad possibly worse than the USA.

              they could only wish that they were worse than the usa; we’re king when it’s comes to committing genocides and fostering political violence.

              we’re so good at it that our victims refuse to believe it happened, even when you have proof.

        Russia wouldn’t care, because Putin would be able to hide away on some cozy island in Oceania or wherever.
