Tariffs: Brazil
This was discussed in today’s Daily Chronicles and I copy that with Lula Da Silva’s response.
Tariffs have to do with trade and with the balance of trade, yes? Demented Donnie has turned his Tariff Letters (of which a bunch went out this morning again), into a capricious punitive stick. 50% for Brazil and there is… Continue reading

The US makes a ‘tremendous trade/tariff deal with Vietnam’.
With a sidewalk bowl of phở and a plastic spoon, Sony Thang breaks the spell.
They caved! They are traitors! They are empire! Is the cry that went up after the announcement of the Trade Deal with Vietnam. 20% Tariffs! 40% Transhipment Tariffs! 0% tariffs on goods from the US to Vietnam. Vietnam opens its market… Continue reading -

China – on the manufacturing street
A few days ago Trump felt sorry for China.
‘I was saddened to hear it… they are getting absolutely HAMMERED in China’ – Trump says his tariffs mean factories there closing, economy doing ‘very poorly”I don’t want that to happen to China’ he adds.
The little Telegram clip that I saw, is here: https://t.me/rtnews/93575

By Pepe Escobar at the Strategic Culture Foundation.

https://www.mfa.gov.cn/eng/xw/zyxw/202504/t20250406_11589042.html

The Chinese government strongly condemns and resolutely opposes such move.By taking… Continue reading

Vietnam Blinks (or did they Wink?)
After Trump’s 46% tariff thunderclap on Vietnamese imports, Hanoi didn’t flinch, it countered. Not with confrontation but with conditions. It is important to check the actual response from Hanoi vs. Trump’s post.
Vietnam has signaled readiness to cut tariffs to zero, but only as part of a mutual agreement. In other words: reciprocity, not subjugation.
This isn’t… Continue reading -

Dmitry Medvedev
From his Telegram Channel
Trump has roughly bent the global trading system over the table by imposing duties on nearly the entire world. The consequences will be global. Counter-tariffs will be imposed on goods from the United States. Old supply chains will be broken, but new ones will form.
And what about us?
Russia barely does any business… Continue reading
