Arrr, matey! Just after Cap'n Trump slapped a 10% levy on China’s gold, the crafty Chinee fired back with a 15% tax on our precious coal and grog! Aye, they be taxin' our ships and tractors too! Let’s hope they cease sendin’ their devil’s dust! Yarrr!
Avast ye scallywags! Just moments after our fair President Trump unleashed a mighty 10 percent tariff upon the good folk of China, the crafty sea serpents in Beijing struck back with the fury of a thousand cannonballs! They be throwin' a 15 percent tax on our precious U.S. coal and liquefied natural gas, along with a 10 percent levy on crude oil, farm contraptions, and a few of our noble vessels!Aye, these tariffs set sail on February 10, and Trump be seekin' to teach that scallywag Xi Jinping a lesson for lettin' the foul flow of fentanyl seep into our ports! “China hopefully be stoppin’ sendin’...” he declared, as if he be commandin' the winds to change course!
So, here we be, caught in a tempest of trade, where the only thing firin’ faster than cannonballs be the taxes! It’s enough to make a pirate wanna hoist the Jolly Roger and sail far from these landlubber negotiations! Aye, mayhaps we need a parley with the chaps in Beijing over a tankard of rum, lest we find ourselves in Davy Jones' locker of economic ruin! Arrr!
