He’s gonna raise tariffs regardless, just do it
Also what the fuck is a “tariff investigation”? It’s hard to believe he’s shying away from saying he’ll raise tariffs again, he’s certainly threatened it often enough, but maybe the TACO title is starting to bother him. Maybe he’s trying to figure out a way to threaten tariffs that won’t look so obvious when he inevitably backs down.
To the extent that they’re measuring anything, it’s bilateral balance of trade, though they’re fudging those numbers too based on Trump’s prejudices and grudges.
David Ricardo figured out that balancing bilateral trade flows was a stupid idea over 200 years ago. As a modern economist put it, I have a bilateral trade impalance with my barber too. So what?
Probably because he’s just that dumb.
Blowing hot air as usual. Didn’t a federal court just rule that Diaper Don doesn’t even have authority to impose tariffs? Pay no attention to the Epstein files behind the curtain though.
Dictator Trump doesn’t really care if he has authority to do anything though. Look at all the shit he is getting away with.
So he’s already killing that trade agreement he made to give the EU lower tariffs. That was to be expected.
Of course he did - that’s the sort of service they’ve paid him for.

“Im gonna tax my people even harder if you do this! Oh, and then I’m gonna keep that money rather than return it to the company that got fined. That’ll teach you!”
EU should double the fine
