Automobile Tariffs by Country 2024

worldpopulationreview.com

The yellow 20%.

Germany also has a 10% Foreign Car Vehicle tax.

So you're not talking about immediately after the war.

You're saying tariffs were responsible for the Japan miracle and Germany's recovery? Well that's just plain wrong on Germany. It was the opposite. Japan did institute tariffs to protect their industry but again, they were coming out of a war. Correlation is not causation.

Are you simply ignoring the rest of the post?

The link showed the current duty totals.
Germany with 10% and 19% foreign vehicle tax-29%
Compare that to the US at 1.5% total duty, the lowest among industrialized countries.

Blah blah blah. Never mind. Tariffs are good cause trump says they are.

Trump word salad anyone? Here is his answer when asked if tariffs will cause inflation. This makes Joe Biden look like a master communicator. Trump has NO idea what he's talking about. Maybe you MAGAs can tell us what he 'means to say!" because he doesn't know.


PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: It might, but it’s ultimately going to be much less expensive.

I’ll give you an example.

The so-called fat drug or fat, shot or whatever it’s called Ozempic or Mounjaro in London.

You get it for $88. In New York you get it for $1,200. You can’t even buy it. It’s very unfair. The identical package made in the same factory, shipped to different places, but made literally in the same factory in London.

It’s $88, and in New York it’s $1,200. And you can’t get it.

And the reason is because everything’s added on to the United States, because the United States has been too nice. You know, I had, I had transparency done and Biden canceled that transparency would have solved that problem.

But I’m going to solve it one way or the other, including, you know, they have a certain thing like rent control in New York, and I don’t like that. But at some point, nobody’s going to.

It’s not fair that other countries, you go to Canada all of the drugs are much less expensive. I suggested that some of the governors should go buy their drugs in Canada and send them back to here. It’s very simple. So I think we’re going to do some amazing things.

I can tell you exactly what Trump is doing. He is using the threat of tariffs to accomplish his diplomatic agenda and he is doing a F*A*N*T*A*S*T*I*C job. Now, Trump can't say "I'm using tariffs to punish Mexico for failing to stop the illegals and the drugs." He has to come up with some half-assed quasi-economic justification, and he does. The woke then squeal "This makes no sense!" That's OK. The woke can remain in a state of confusion.

This strategy is working with stunning success. Not just Mexico and Canada, but did you see how fast those tough-talking Venezuelans turned tail and came groveling in their own aircraft to pick up their illegal greaseballs?

Pretty soon all of our trading partners will realize that will Trump at the helm, the trade agreements will no longer benefit them to the extent that they have and the US will be getting much more favorable terms and concessions.
It'll be an "if you can't beat em, join em". Because in reality, they absolutely need access to the US economy, not the other way around.

Like the USMCA he took credit for..........then claimed Canada and Mexico were taking advantage of us on trade. He plays you idiots like a fiddle. Your post is a perfect example. You just ignore or forget that which doesn't fit your fantasies.

Q keeps claiming Canada and Mexico caved......over and over. Yet all trump got that wasn't already agreed on or offered was a fentanyl czar. Whoopee.

What is your suggestion to combat fentanyl entering the US?

One more time - it was agreed or offered A*F*T*E*R Trump was elected. I realize the Biden zombie had not yet staggered off the stage.

Oh, then it had NOTHING TO DO with the threat of tariffs after the election did it? Or or or did Trudeau KNOW that trump was going to make the tariff threat and preemptively announced the 1.3 billion? Yeah, that's the ticket lol.

Nothing about the Mexico troops?
