Summary
Global leaders criticized Trump’s new tariffs, which range from 10% to 49%, warning of trade wars and economic fallout.
The UK and Italy urged negotiation, while Brazil passed a reciprocity bill. China and South Korea vowed countermeasures.
Australia and New Zealand rejected Trump’s logic, citing existing trade deals and low tariffs. Norfolk Island was baffled by a 29% duty despite having no exports.
Financial markets dropped, oil and bitcoin sank, and leaders warned of inflation. Analysts say Trump risks fracturing global trade with little to gain economically.
If I was Prime Minister, I’d impose a retaliatory tariff of 9000% just because it’s all just this stupid.
Call it the Goku tariffs, but drag it out over an hour or two with a lot of screaming.
Wouldn’t it have to be 9001%?
Spoiler
Power levels are bullshit.

Your reply has a lot of Yamcha energy.
You’re absolutely right, I can easily hear that comment in his voice too
ISO PTSD trigger warning! Hide that shit the next time.
You’re hired
Call a press conference, build up to announcing the 9000% tariff but then end the conference promising to come back next week and make the announcement.
PEOPLE OF THE UK!
I NEED YOUR ENERGY TO CHARGE THESE TARIFFS! AHHHHHHH \o/
