Jesus, Trump is basically deep-throating Israeli cock and it's still not enough. The "chosen people" could rob you off all but your last dollar and you'd still be the villain to them.
When you're the special Chosen People, everybody else should voluntarily give every dollar to you, obviously.
What's even more ironic is that this headline alone makes it seem like he is at least not sparing them from his general America first plan, unless israel is getting tarrifs lightly compared to other countries. I could be wrong about Israel getting any hits from him, though.
Several countries have tariffs of only 10% so these ones for Israel are middle of the road.
Somewhat related, have you noticed that EU leftist pretend the the tariffs only affect Americans and Trump is an idiot but at the same time he is dooming the world?
Europe has a lot of tariffs, both hard and soft. Look up eudr
Tariffs only hurt Americans and tarrifs are hurting our allies is somehow a congruent position in their minds
I fear for rosewater vendors' livelihoods.
What does Israel export again?
Subversion and Destruction
Honestly, still a bigger tariff than I thought. Thought he would skip Israel altogether.
It's proving difficult to actually find any information about other countries' tariffs right now, but if the tweet is correct then they are correct to complain: Trump is within his rights to threaten retaliatory tariffs on countries that tariff American exports, but if they remove their tariffs then your retaliatory tariff should also be 0%.
It's a rabbit hole. The retaliatory tariffs are based on tariffs, their VAT, currency manipulation, other trade barriers, etc. not just straight tariffs.

Edit: I stand corrected. Someone reverse engineered the tariff formula and found it's just (imports - exports) / imports. Ex: If a country imports X from the US and exports 2X to the US, the admin is claiming that country charges the US a 50% tariff. Any trade deficit is being considered a "tariff charged to the USA." With maybe an artificial 10% floor?
Next they need to remove AIPAC. If that works, we can follow it up by tariffng the various raghead countries until they shut down CAIR.
That's doable. Prove that AIPAC worked with hamas and you can sic the military on 'em.
I don’t think it’s just based on their hard number tariffs. They could easily find multiple ways to just reject American goods by saying they don’t meet regulations etc etc
Trump needs to nip that in the bud too
Trump should have tariffed Israel first.
Oof, anything but the money
We're just asking Israel to give the money back to us in a roundabout manner.
I'm 100% behind this lmao
