How's the world reacting to U.S. President Donald Trump's one-man #tariff offensive? In the debut episode of #GlobalQ, Xinhua's Simon Robinson looks at how Washington's attempts to reshape the global trade landscape may end up creating the very multipolarity it seeks to prevent.

China supports solar, wind and EVs, producing vast quantities of needed new energy. Canada says such support undercuts EV production in Canada, so it has a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs.

Canada could instead support the local production of wind, solar and EVs.

Because Canada is burning.🔥
And Trump attacking our jobs.🇨🇦

AND ____

This explains why 🇨🇦 Canola just got a 78% tariff from China.

The July data, which was released by #BLS, provides a clear sign that businesses are more readily passing along #tariff-related #costs to the #consumer after a prolonged period in which price gains were muted.

US companies that import products have largely been able to hold off on raising prices despite a universal 10% tariff that has been in place on all imports since April, along with higher levies on steel, aluminum & products from China & Canada.

#tariff drama, uncertainty

Japanese officials believed they had secured a deal that would set a standard tariff rate of 15 percent for all of its products shipped to the United States.

In a July 31 executive order Japan, along with other trade partners, was issued a new tariff rate that would be “stacked” on top of existing ones. In Japan’s case, that raised tariffs on items such as its beef exports to the United States from 26.4 percent to 41.4 percent.
