More than 50 countries have reached out to the White House to begin trade talks, the US national economic council director Kevin Hassett has told ABC News’ This Week programme. He said:
“I got a report from the USTR last night (the office of the US trade representative) that more than 50 countries have reached out to the president to begin a negotiation.”
“But they are doing that because they understand that they bear a lot of the tariff.”
“And so I don’t think you will see a big effect on the consumer in the US because I do think that the reason why we have a persistent, long run trade deficit is these people have very inelastic supply.”
“They have been dumping goods into the country in order to create jobs say in China.”
“What the fuck is going on, are you fucking stupid”
“Yes, finally, they’re reaching out to us for negotiations!”
It’s true. The first delegation has arrived in Alaska today, on the way to meet with President Trump in Washington. He will make them pay their fair share!
At least they wore suits
Alaska’s a long way from where penguins come from, isn’t it?
Ok, so they do actually have economic advisors helping them and….oh? They talk like they don’t understand how tariffs work either? Hm.
Only that great stable genius, author of The Art of the Feel, can fix this mess that Biden foisted on us so many awful years ago, doncha know, he alone, so sad…
