White House announces blanket tariffs on effectively the whole world. 175 out of 194 countries have VAT on the US Posted by EUstrongerthanUS
Y0___0Y on February 13, 2025 11:41 pm He didn’t enact tariffs. He signed a memo saying he’s going to maybe some time in the future. Total nothing announcement to bait the media into publishing “big strong trump tariffs the whole world!” articles, which they’ve done. If these tariffs actually happen, inflation would rise astronomically in the US.
Pretty_Good_At_IRL on February 13, 2025 11:44 pm Seems extremely unlikely that anyone would reduce VAT for American imports, as wouldn’t that effectively be a tax subsidy for imported American goods?
Key_Environment8179 on February 13, 2025 11:46 pm I don’t know what VAT is, but from context, I’m guessing it’s not like a tariff at all.

Teach_Piece on February 13, 2025 11:54 pm Isn’t this effectively a VAT for the united states? Aren’t you guys in favor of VAT? This seems good actually.
