President Donald Trump announced plans for sweeping tariffs Wednesday, saying “our country has been looted, pillaged, raped, plundered” by other nations.
The aggressive rhetoric came as Trump showed a willingness to dismantle a global economic system that the United States helped to build after World War II. Trump held up a chart while speaking, showing the United States would charge a 34% tax on imports from China, a 20% tax on imports from the European Union, 25% on South Korea, 24% on Japan and 32% on Taiwan.
“Taxpayers have been ripped off for more than 50 years,” Trump said in remarks at the White House. “But it is not going to happen anymore.”
The president has promised that factory jobs will return back to the United States as a result of the taxes, but his policies risk causing a sudden economic slowdown as consumers and businesses could face sharp price hikes on autos, clothes and other goods.
The tariffs are expected to follow similar recent announcements of 25% taxes on auto imports; levies against China, Canada and Mexico; and expanded trade penalties on steel and aluminum. Trump has also imposed tariffs on countries that import oil from Venezuela and he plans separate import taxes on pharmaceutical drugs, lumber, copper and computer chips.

Its a lie a recession its coming
Who is this? PINOCCHIO
HE IS SUCH A LIAR AND AN IDIOT!!!
TARIFFS DO NOT BRING WEALTH TO THE COUNTRY PLACING THE TARIFFS!!!
THIS IS NOT GOING TO BRING JOBS BACK TO AMERICA BECAUSE WHY WOULD ANY CORPORATION WANT TO PAY THE DAMN TARIFFS TO IMPORT WHAT THEY NEED AND THEN TURN AROUND AND PAY MORE MONEY TO BUILD ANY FACTORIES!!!
SO DUMB!!!!
They also are not going to pay higher wages WHEN THEY CAN PAY PEOPLE IN OTHER COUNTRIES AT A LOWER WAGE!!
THINK ABOUT THAT, STUPIDS!!!
THIS IS THE HEIGHT OF INCOMPETENCE!!!!
Hey , president if you really want to help the economy, just make your bodies the richest pay the same taxes the working people pay.
I just can’t watch nor listen to this abomination, nothing but lies and they are clapping, what jobs and factories are we seeing coming back.
Make Everything More Expensive leadership.
i'm saying this as a liberal and someone who has a strong dislike for Trump, this should've been done a long long time ago… as a business man we need to support local business and national companies, just take a walk around your home and look at everything and really look at what was actually made in America (most of you will struggle to find 10% of your home is made with items made in America)
good luck building anything big without cheap steel.
The people in this country have enjoyed in their whole lives. They have not been "looted, pillaged…", – what Trump described are totally nonsense.
Not in the stocks market! 😂😂😂. .. Crash tomorrow.

This was the only video that shows JD's reaction to Trump not being able to find him in the front row, which I appreciate. But why the hell? Did you cut it off when the speech wasn't over with?
Yea let’s give the chips to china instead. US, King of chips ?
He is disgusting
Vance is a shit-stain. They gave Vladimir Zelenskyy so much crap for not wearing a suit. He doesn't wear a suit because he's in solidarity with the citizens of his country, Ukraine! Shame on Trump and Vance. He is NOT my president
hahahahahaahah, 50 years!!! I love the number 50. hahahahahahahaha, bong ma vnch van se con vat vuong tren nha trang va am anh chu sam dai dai dai hahahahahah
THE POWER LIES WITH THE CONSUMER! STOP BUYING AT RIDICULOUS PRICES!!!
The problem is corporations just pass the costs onto the consumer. In the last couple years profit levels have been at all time highs. Now companies aren't going to take a loss because the cost of business has gone up, they will just charge more & more for the product. People need to boycott and refuse to pay these ridiculous prices and companies will be forced to stop charging ridiculous prices, or they just won't sell anything. 🌠
Today start great depression. Stock market will be crash.💥💥
USA.. leader of the free world 😂😂😂😂😂
This is the one thing every American should support Trump for. It is only fair that we place tariffs on nations that placed them on our goods.
We been getting screwed by the BEST OF FRIENDS, didn't even get the privilege of a lubed reach around.
Sorry USA, nur I‘m going to ban every US company article for the next four years. Just sold my iphone
You know, they keep saying there will be temporary pain. It don't matter if it last a day, a week, a month, a few months, a year and so on. Of course, you spend money to make money, but in this case, no matter how long the so-called pain will last, when a paycheck to paycheck house hold takes a hit, that household will almost never recovers and more than 80% of American households are paycheck to paycheck and either breaking even, ahead up to $500 after ends meet or up to their necks in bills. Why do they keep hurting us? Besides, who is "we" in "We are going to be making so much money."?
25% Tariff on foreign made cars will make domestic made in USA cars will be cheaper.
oh it will be remembered alright. but more like how October 24th 1929 is remembered
AI will took american jobs in near future

The applause still swells— as if the abyss were a scenic overlook. Meanwhile, Trump marches steadily toward his seventh bankruptcy, as if failure were a cornerstone of his business model.
Trump will always find a way to place himself at the center of the world stage. It’s never about coherence, substance, or truth. It’s about attention—pure, unfiltered, and desperately needed. This isn’t political strategy; it’s a psychological condition.
Whether it’s a faucet dripping off-beat or an economic indicator contradicting his narrative, Trump demands change—not out of necessity, but because he cannot tolerate contradiction. Any deviation from his desired reality becomes the occasion for a new storyline. Not to solve problems, but to conceal failure.
To Trump, success isn’t an outcome—it’s a performance. When that performance collapses, he simply builds a new set. A fresh illusion. Another layer of lies to mask incompetence. The method never changes. Tragically, neither does the audience. Too many still follow, clinging to the illusion of salvation, while ignoring the charlatan behind the curtain.
America will pay the price for this delusion. Trump is not the savior of the nation—he is its undoing. With his belligerent foreign policy, reckless trade wars, and calculated destruction of long-standing alliances, he has eroded the international credibility of the United States. The “golden age” he promises is a mirage—a dangerous fantasy born of nostalgia, arrogance, and nationalist myth-making.
As he maneuvers toward his seventh bankruptcy, he’s dragging the country into a crisis of historic proportions—politically, economically, and socially. And there is every reason to believe he won't fall alone. He may pull others—perhaps even entire continents—down with him. Including Europe.
Europe must stop flinching at every outburst from Washington. The transatlantic partnership, as we knew it, has been unilaterally revoked—not by us, but by a man who confuses power with entitlement and governance with grievance.
Our response cannot be passive. It must be strategic and bold. We must recruit American scientists. We must build a European Silicon Valley. We must pursue military autonomy, develop a global satellite infrastructure, and finally tax digital monopolies like Amazon, Google, and Facebook with conviction. We must also cultivate a sovereign European media culture that can stand independent from U.S.-dominated platforms.
If Europe acts wisely, it can emerge from this crisis not weakened, but strengthened—as a confident community of states and as the last stronghold of a liberal democracy that remains unmatched in its balance, openness, and human dignity.
The path is ours to choose. But we must walk it with resolve. And we must show the red card to every force, foreign or domestic, that seeks to undermine or dismantle our pluralistic democratic order. Europe is worth every effort. So is our democracy.
