>The Trump administration is working on an executive order that would initiate investigations into "unfair" product dumping from foreign companies — an action that could lead to tariffs on a wide range of products.
>Steel and aluminum will be targeted.
>Other products, including household appliances, could be targeted as well.
>If the investigations result in new import duties — as some senior Trump officials believe should happen — it could make some consumer goods more expensive and could hurt the stock prices of American companies that rely on cheap steel imports. A good number of American manufacturing companies, however, could benefit from this hit to their low-cost competitors.

BREAKING: NEW EXECUTIVE ORDER INCOMING
>Scope: This investigation could result in penalties that would be much broader than the anti-steel dumping measure the New York Times previewed last week.
>Timing: Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is running point on this executive order, and an administration source tells me it could arrive as early as late April. But there's no point getting too wedded to that timeline, because Trump has slowed the pace of executive actions and this is an especially sensitive one: If it's clumsy, foreign trading partners could see this as the first shot in a trade war.
>What Ross says, through a spokesman: "Trade negotiations and discussions should happen in the board room, not in the press room."
>The narrative: If this investigation leads to penalties on foreign trading partners, it will be a big (and much-needed) win for Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, Peter Navarro, and other economic nationalists in Trump's orbit. Given the Syria strikes and Bannon's demotion from the NSC, their clout has appeared to diminish. The Goldman wing, meanwhile, will likely oppose aggressive trade moves.
Fucking zionist puppet am i rite guys?
HAHAHAHAH poor Xi. Probably got scared as fuck seeing the missiles go off
Ah, good old socialism. But it's not socialism when a Republican does it, right?

Trump supposedly told Xi that he was bombing Syria in the middle of a high-stakes meeting; I wouldn't be surprised if the madman did!

One of the main campaign issues he ran on has been protecting American industry. Besides, who fucking wants Republicanism when you consider the Republicans in Congress and the Bushes.
Is it socialism when your grandmother dies of aspiration pneumonia that she gets from my cum?
>trying to have more products of better product for the people of your country since they don't have the means to investigate it themselves is socialism
products of better quality*, I guess I am disabled
>denying literally international aid
>increase the prices of your products
>other countries will still buy the products with lower prices from other countries
>hurpadur maga
That's one big retarded thing about Trump, he's a businessman and doesn't understand free trade, even when he has products made in other countries
I hope we santion leafland out of existence.
Free trade is how England went from being the mfg for the world to being poorer than Mississippi per capita.
