Does anyone know if Trumps tariffs will affect horse imports into the US??. If he’s dumb enough to put tariffs on coffee that the US can’t grow in their own country & tariffs on an uninhabitable island I expect there will be tariffs on sales of horses to the US.  It may well affect the export market here. 

 

 

 

 

if you read the reports from even the media outlets that hate anything trump does,well they are suggesting a cup of coffee will go up about 50c.

articles quote coffee shops, saying they expect to put the average  $5.20 cup ,up to $5.70. 

50c a time,thats going to break the bank for some.

As to you saying he put tariffs on an uninhabitle island.

i saw that TV one news story and thought,TV one, just taking more cheap shots with a story that anyone,if they had the inclination,would realise was full of holes. Sad,but thats tv news media in nz these days. 

The Trump administration put  the blanket  10% tariff on every country/terrirtory except a handful like russia and north korea. The countries exempted trump obviously is currently wanting something from and they view that of more significance than what they would get $ wise from tariffs.

So what the trump administration did,was say everyones getting this blanket 10% tariff,because it was simpler for people to understand that.

Some smart arse in the media in the usa of course thought they can mock the trump administration by finding some obscure territory with only a few penguins and make out,hey look at how  ridiculous the trump adminstration is.And news outlets around the world,the likes of tv one,ran with the story,again showing they think their viewers are gullible.

You know ,it was a bit like that clip they had on tv one last night,where they asked some man in china at a trade fair,what do you think of trump. That man described trump as crazy.I saw that,rewinded it and the woman asking the question from the bbc was shaking her head and mockingly smiling at the man as she asked the question,clearly inviting such an answer. 

as far as the tariffs effecting usa harness racing ,i read a week or two ago that yes ,work needed to be done on negotiating a way around the tariffs as the effect on horses coming and going from countries like canda would be impacted. But,as winston peters keeps saying,they need to let the dust settle and the negotiations take place and peiople shouldn't get too carried away just yet.

more TV one rubbish on tonight about the trump adminsitration. 

I just watched it,rewound it and thought,why can't they just report the facts.

At one point it said about those deported to el salvador..."have disapperared into a legal black hole,with little evidence for their gang member status"..

well ,even the mainsteam usa media who don't like trump ,have come to realise they are on a loser running stories about that angle,as even they realise they can't hide they were mostly deported due to the seriousness of the crimes  commited.

yet tv one ragain run a segment where they tell only some of the facts.

had tv one just stuck to the story that a judge has said some didn't get their due process of an immigration hearing before deportation,then that is true.

Actually,the case the media has been using to highlight how someone innocent has been deported ,has been imploding in the last 24 hours.

It was all over the left leaning meida in the usa, that a loving family man, was ajn example of someone who shouldn't have been deported. They even had a democrat senator fly to el salvador today and demand the el salvador government release that person .

but thats all turned to custard now,as the trump administration have released all the dretails of the mans interactions with authorities. Including drug dealing,wife beating and the fact he had 2 usa immigration court hearings that had previously ruled he was part of a ms13 gang and was deported,only to reenteer illegally again.

Also why didn'ttv one mention that the people deported,like the bloke mentioned,if they returned will virtually be certain to get an immediate immigration hearing and be immediately repturned back to el salvador.

you know,i find it bizzare that nz news media,especially tv one, still think people can't think for themselves.Mind you look at how they helped fool everyone about the covid shot i suppose.

how about they run some segments about what the latest research is finding no,.That will never happen.
