      Isn’t this just explicitly unconstitutional? I feel like theyll never pay 15% on shit and will workaround it somehow.

      I guess national security can be ignored for a cut of the profit now. A tiny one too, in comparison to the expenses of the government.

      So, the chips they produce in Taiwan and export to China will have to pay taxes in the US? That seems odd

      I guess that GOP mantra of smaller government was all a LIE…….with ICE, National Guard activations, and squeezing corporations for kickbacks. Soon…..it will all be government controlled!

      Extortion and all the Trump sycophants say, “okay.” It’s unbelievable there isn’t any uproar from Republicans.

      Another day, another thing the gop allows the constitution to be trampled on

      Waiting for the next few to say

      More like a 15% bribe that goes into the coffers that regular citizens won’t have access to.

      Create a warehouse in another country with no extra tax or sell to another company in that country, then send the goods from there to China. Will that work?

      Congrats on the Republicans helping an export tax transition into a special agreement.

      They don’t need to actually pay it, they just need to make Donnie believe they will for now

      Another major media outlet presenting this as „unprecedented“ (MAGA sees that and thinks „Trump is amazing“) and not UNCONSTITUTIONAL, which it is.

      The only mention of it as being wildly illegal is in *paragraph 13* where it is presented as some sort of complaint from Trump critics, rather than a factual reading of the plain text of the constitution.

      „On social media, some investors called the arrangement a „shakedown“, while others compared the requirement to a tax on exports – which has long been considered illegal in the US.“

      No, it is not something „investors say“ and it is not „long been considered“ anything.

      It is a constitutional violation, plain and simple. Article I, Section 9, Clause 5 of the U.S. constitution plainly and flatly forbids this. I don’t expect the BBC to be up to date on the massive pile of U.S. laws and statutes, but the U.S. constitution is a short read, and „No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State“ is pretty fucking simple language.

      Aside from the fact it is unconstitutional and sets bad precedents, and that it will result in higher prices for US consumers, I think the other interesting point is that it means for NVIDIA and AMD it is still MORE COST EFFECTIVE to pay an additional 15% tax to manufacture in China than it is to manufacture in the US.

      How does anyone think this whole tariff nonsense is going to drive more manufacturing back to the US?

      I mean…. Granted the limited intelligence of the extortionist, it’s not outside the scope of some of the most brilliant minds to not entirely give accurate numbers, sales or revenue for that matter. 🤭

      These are the types of things authoritarian governments do.

      „Land of the Free“?… F**k off! Never say that again!

      Export tariffs are a great way to increase exports. /s

      It’ll be huge, nobody would’ve thought.
