Thank you Trump for causing this global crisis so that I'd type my ranting nonsense and MillionMilesAway would smartly remind me about that awesome song. You really play 9D Chess.

Excellent!

One thing is clear, the US has gone rogue and cannot he trusted. We need to start investing in our own weapon systems in Europe. Stop buying their stuff and at the same time extend trade deals with current partners, including China. Hit them where it burst and reduce our dependence on their costly weapon systems.

As individuals, buy fuck all from the cunts. Not even a can of Coke. If you’re demented and buy JD, give yourself a shake and buy real fucking whiskey from your better educated and looking cousins north of the walls.

Said it before , wouldn’t give them the steam off my piss . Enabling this twat into power will be a stain on that nation for decades .

Some things are harder than others. Would struggle to ditch my iPhone but there are other American things, such as Amazon where there’s only a small inconvenience and/or increase in cost.

I’m definitely making a conscious effort to buy less American stuff and would certainly welcome that principle being extended at governmental and commercial levels.

China has told its airlines to not take any further deliveries of jets from US aviation giant Boeing as a response to Trump’s tariffs, Bloomberg News reports, citing sources familiar with the matter.

Beijing also told carriers to suspend purchases of aircraft equipment and parts from US companies, the sources told Bloomberg.

American planes aren’t the only imports impacted by the China-US tariff tit-for-tat.

The entry of US agricultural items such as beef and soybean into China has also been limited this year, a source told the Financial Times. Countries such as Brazil have in turn seen increased trade and are charging premium prices for their goods due to the demand.

China also halted the import of US logs in March, citing the detection of pests, and its Tesla website has suspended orders for two US-imported models, according to Reuters news agency.

How about putting 25% reciprocal tarriffs on American imported cars PM??

That's going to do nothing
They sell around a dozen US built cars a year in the UK

A dozen, are you sure. Where are Teslas made? Alternatively you raise the tax on the big US tax dodging Internet companies. Meta, Google, Amazon, Cisco.

Fair do's re companies, but who their right mind would buy a yank car.

Seems plenty have bought into the Tesla sham. They really are nasty cheap cars.

Yanks.

Oh. You said "right mind". We clearly aren't. Or some of us aren't.

I was being facetious with that numbe

And tesla's are also made in China the Netherlands Germany and Canada

I thought you would have imported a decent German car.

I drive a German car (leased). The rest of the family fleet is all Japanese. The last American car I owned was a Ford Explorer more than a decade ago.

Plenty of foreign import over here. Honda, Kia and Hyundi are fairly commonplace, and I've seen plenty of BM's, Audi, VW and Mini knocking about.

Toyota also a huge brand here. I will say I am seeing more of the electric Ford Mustangs around. But I'd say the plurality and perhaps even majority of American vehicles I see are the big American trucks relative to sedans, SUVs, compacts, etc.

The Tacoma is a pretty decent truck for the money.

As for US vehicles, Jeep's are pretty common, as are the F-150, GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Siverado and Dodge Ram.

It really does amaze me that people use these things as a runaround. My Neighbour drives a GMC Yukon as his daily commuter vehicle. He works local and probably does no more than 20 miles a day.

I'm sure there are plenty of big American units. Do you see many of these?
