penwing (they/them)The EU is supposedly charging 39% so Trump is charging half that(ish) - 20%The UK is charging 10% and we're being hit with 10% or the full whack...So, erm... Well done to Starmer?There are a few countries with 10% and 10% so it seems Trump has decided 10% is a minimum, but still, we're being "reciprocally charged" more than our neighbours and may even be reducing DST to placate him for this "generosity"<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/UKPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UKPol</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tariffs</a>

penwing (they/them)So, if I'm understanding the Liberation Day Reciprocal Tariffs thing right, "Trump" has arrived at a "tariff" figure each country is "charging" and setting reciprocal based on that. Our "tariffs" include "currency manipulation" and "barriers to trade" as well as typical tariffs. The reciprocal is half that figure for most countries.<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/UKPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UKPol</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tariffs</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MaySo 'Liberation Day' has produced a general 10% tariff for all imports plus top up 'reciprocal' tariffs on trading 'partners' depending on their particular (taxation) circumstances... Trump is also going big on restoring (especially for Big Pharma).So we are now entering a political economic experiment few of us signed up for, the consequences of which remain unclear (despite historical parallels) - but one things is sure:buckle up its going to be a bumpy ride!<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/trade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trade</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tariffs</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politics</a>
