Reported as US News, which not World, but the tariffs have an impact on virtually every country on the planet (Russia excluded), so I'll allow it.

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.

I read the oil prices plumeted along with the stocks and crypto currencies, so Russia is indirectly impacted as well. Does that make up for all the bullshit? No, but it makes my day a little bit better.
That was the goal.
In Rubio's confirmation hearing, he literally said that the goal of the administration is to end global Post WWII stability.
Cost us all? Maybe the business owners and Americans. And probably only American businesses owners. USA isn't the entire world, if you can't export to America you'll export to Canada, France, Kenya, Indonesia, Japan.
There are difficult times ahead - but in the end it will make Europe more united and stronger!
"Stronger" isn't automatically a good thing.
It's like the old joke; I work out three times a day; get to bed every night at 9 pm; read at least two good books a week; don't eat a lot of candy and treats. I'll be so happy when I get out of prison.
It will most likely make Europe, along with the US and most of the world, poorer than would otherwise be the case.
Now, now. The rich, especially in the US, will become richer by a lot. And that's all that matters... for them.
isn't that exactly what trimp is saying it'll be like for america
Or more fascist, who knows?
In all fairness, the last 80 years of economic order has been shit for 99% of the population. So I don't get too excited about experts that suggest going back to a less broken system as the answer. We need to rethink our whole economic systems outside of the current ideas.
The world economic system includes many places that aren't the USA and many of them were doing pretty well. That to me would suggest that there's another problem to blame for the crappy situation people are dealing with in the US. I'm all for rethinking a system to help benefit more people but I really don't think that's what's happening here at all.
