World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"In 2024, China was the top supplier of goods to the United States, accounting for 16.5 percent of total goods imports. U.S. goods imports from China totaled $438.9 billion."
lol that would be hilarious to see. If he manages to piss Mexico and Canada too (same numbers), the USA will import nothing in the next few years.
I don't think its going to take very long for tariffs to bite American consumers. A month ago I bought a $1000 technology item that is manufactured in China. I see that same item's price has raised to $1200 in the last week or so. This was an item ordered from online, so its possible they didn't have a large inventory onshore in the USA.
There are bricks and mortar retailers that have weeks or months of inventory warehoused in the USA just as part of their normal supply chain. However without replenishment, popular items will sell out and simply not be stocked again because the tariff affected margins will price out consumers for many of those goods. I'd say if these tariffs stay as they are (or get worse) our retailers are going to have lots of empty shelves in 3 months.
We saw what happened with toilet paper in 2020 and said “wouldn’t it be great if everything could be like this? At least we wouldn’t have a black lady as President!”.
We are so racist and sexist as a country that we couldn't stomach voting for a black woman to be president.
America is more sexist than racist. The problem is its incredibly racist to begin with in first place.
America is sexist.
The south is so unimaginably and violently racist it almost makes their insane sexism seem petty in comparison.
It's the other way round IMO. It's incredibly racist but the misogyny is even more. I have lived and traveled in US and the racism exists outside of major cities but misogyny is universal. Even in liberal cities you can be sexist in the open, in the hiring practices etc.
Can you link the item I just wanna see it for myself so I can show idiot trumpers proof
I'm not sure it would help for your proof. It just shows the new higher price now.
He’s already pissed off Mexico and Canada. He’s pissed off most of the world.
It's about to get absolutely stupid. Like I know everyone thinks things are bonkers now, but up until this week vendors I work with, that supply electronic equipment either partially or entirely manufactured in China, were still honoring quotes created weeks ago. This week we're being told that quotes we've had in the works for weeks or months are now likely going to be pulled and not honored, and that was BEFORE this additional increase. We're talking large spend that's likely going to be delayed indefinitely, which will almost certainly shrink the entire GDP and cause mass layoffs, and we'll be in a depression before we know it. I wish I was being hyperbolic, but I'm watching multi million dollar spends planned for the better part of a year evaporate because quotes won't be honored.
USA turning into Cuba
USA turning itself into Cuba.
It takes a next level pants on head stupid to do this to yourself unprompted.
It's not impossible though. It's like every country opened their eyes and said fuck it because Trump makes no exception in hating everyone.
I only know the USA from movies and TV, and the USA always got a free pass because they ruled the world, they are number 1, they have the best quality of life, and a lot of other lies that we kept telling ourselves because they were the good big brother that was, until recently, relatively "smart."
But Trump pissed every country on earth at the same time, and it's like we realized we were wrong since the 80s about everything that happened in and out of the USA.
It's good for me because we will be more self reliant without this erratic big brother. It's very bad because Russia won't be affected, Americans will be poorer, and China seems now to be the most "reliable" super power that can still make and sell everything. But countries getting back some of their Independence is always a nice thing. Millions will suffer though.
Personally i see this as a good thing for everyone else than the USA. Every other country can now explore other markets, buy and sell their products to countries that actually want their products and make money from deals they did not have previously.
The USA on the other hand, has shut the door to all markets, and lost any credibility that it may have had. Not only this, but the stability that it has lost will be tough to undo
