Obviously David sugar has no idea because he's a millionaire and I don't think that he goes in the poundland OR Farm Foods and checks out the food now he's right no one is buying Jack Daniels all Harley-Davidsons in the UK as they are all broke but because of this they're all buying all the cheap food imported from America filled with high fructose corn syrup which is the USA's biggest economy
England should not have allowed American foods to come into England and replace British Foods on the Shelf that's the one thing I miss about England is the American food is crammed full of sugar they even put sugar in bread I am addicted to Sugar because of this I never even had anything sweet when I was in the UK
All the British food there's no room on the shelves for anymore because it's been replaced by American Imports all the food that's crumb full of high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup in America as appeared on the UK shelves in grocery stores soon you will lose all the British Foods because there will be no shelf space Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Oreos all the different foods makes
You import a lot of US military gear – how about telling the US bases to pay rent!
Man said Harley Davidsons 😂😂😂😂😂
Mcdonalds Coca Cola Pepsi
Then Trump is right. Europe doesn't practice fair trade with America. Thus Trump is correct to damage Europe with these tariffs including the UK.
10% either way is no problem I had a lot of respect for this man not now
British government is weak and does not care for citizens or country Who is president trump coming too visit not are government no King Charles That tells u everything Are news stations ant taking about it cos are government scared of us getting on too what I see
We was only taxed 10% cause we do nothing it was not a favor
AMERICAN AMERICANS CUTTING BACK EUROPEAN CARS…. LOSES MONEY 💰💰
IMPEACH the idiots
We do not need dictators
Literally just bike frames
If we Brits had a 30 trillion debt and we were spending more than we could afford so decide to tax imports to put money back into my people's pockets I'm not sure what the issue is! Oh hang on relative to size, economic output, population, and being an island country where the mainland screws us whether a member or not we Brits should be doing the exact same! Oh wait where the EU is concerned the "deal" we agreed to prevents this! So no retaliation with the yanks would be a bad move!
Finely getting it. You don’t import from US but you sure want the American market.
What about tech and digital services? I’m thinking of stuff like iPhones, Apple watches, Macs, any part of the suite of digital services provided by Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, cloud services.
And all the west gets from europe is headache, socialism and trump.Deranged people. Oh, and the most corrupt country in the world, ukraine, you're all hypocrites
We don’t import America cars? Can’t leave the house without seeing a ford?
Whiskey
Software
I don’t own anything American and probably never will 😂
Maybe slap a 500% tariff on everything Microsoft produces? Might get people to finally move away from that dog of an opetating system. Mind you, you could slap 6000% on everything Apple producescand they're customers would still be queueing up to buy! 😅😅
33% of the entire global consumer market is hard to replace… 😂
1 of every 3 dollars spent in the world comes out of a US wallet… it's that simple, honestly.
I never understood what anyone thought they were going to do if the US implemented tariffs…
Honestly the US could implement global tariffs on all goods sold in the US and use the revenue to subsidize us businesses and have some left over for everything else.
The best option for the entire west is restore your manufacturing and get men back to work and out of the bars and streets. Stop building the wealth of the middle class all over South East Asia and rebuild your own.
You don't import from America. That's the point of the tariffs.
Jeans!?? It’s not 1985.
Ban American aircraft, ie Boeing, cancel all orders and charge extra fees if arriving by air on an American made aircraft.
Aye. There you have it …Europe and England?? If you want people to listen to what you have to say then make a fakin effort.
Where have all the intellectuals gone? Who really gives a toss what business men have to say? It’s never been clearer just how limited they are.
Allen Bradley Plc's think about it
In the four quarters to the end of Q3 2024, the UK imported £111.5 billion in goods and services from the United States. That’s substantially more than motorcycles and bourbon.
Just wait til British families see their Steinway piano prices go up.😅
