The Trump admin truly isn't thinking about the small businesses that brought the tariff case to the Supreme Court because of how negatively Trump's broad tariffs affected them (in fact, they are "sleazebags," per #Trump ).
The admin is using #tariffs as leverage to get whatever it wants in world #trade and beyond.
In fact, in the video below, #US Treasury Secretary Scott #Bessent reports that the admin can impose "more draconian" trade embargoes— #SCOTUS said so!
Trump announced today that his new global tariffs are 15% after yesterday's Supreme Court ruling finding his broad IEEPA tariffs illegal.
He wants to keep his mob-boss strong-arming leverage!

The US don't even hide anymore these illegal inhumane interventions to cause misery, and therefore protests, and induce regime-change. It failed in Iran, for the moment.
Cuba's people are also under intense pressure from the US, who deprived them of the Venezuelan aid and threaten with sanctions any country willing to bring the necessary oil to have the economy functioning. Planes are stranded. There's no milk. A Gaza-like starvation campaign is underway.

When an economy is stable with a large market with foreign investors and buyers
and the value of the currency decrease... it can be an incentive to buy even more
but when the economy is collapsing, there are no foreign investors or buyers
and the currency devalues... It is a very bad sign.
#Trump and #Bessent can continue to lie, but lies $ BS do not help pay the bills.
L' #Amérique de #Trump réagit enfin au colossal accord entre l' #Inde et l' #UE: le ministre #Bessent le juge "très décevant" et estime que "les #Européens financent une #guerre contre eux-mêmes"
Puisque tu nous traites comme de la merde,on se casse, et on t'emmerde!
