Apparently lots of UK nationals having issues getting into the states now, is this true? Heard it from someone who was just given a grilling on why they are coming in etc? Checking online history in interviews at customs? WTF is the orange Buffon turning the country into? I’ve no plans to go less wales make it to the 2026 World Cup where I could land in a spot of bother as I’ve sod many times I don’t expect him to survive that long. Also, Vance is a fukin cnut and I’m standing by that right now…..

I posted on this thread earlier last week about the requirement of declaring social media accounts when even transitting through the States for a few hours to change planes - and that mobile phones have been checked in some cases regarding anti-US sentiments.

By the way, I'm in Ireland at the moment and there is considerable concern about Trump's proposed tariffs; a whacking 27% of Irish exports go to the USA, the major importer of their goods!

Are you aware that Ireland charge tariffs on USA goods going into Ireland ? Tariffs are common between non EU and EU countries

You can argue the amount but it's a fact of business

The last 2 months USA has now attracted close to 4 trillion dollars of new investment into the USA

This so called ' Liberation day' tomorrow will be interesting and could go a bit crazy around the world markets !

Think it's the wrong thing to do mind

The point is that Ireland is considered to be the most exposed country in the EU regarding high US tariffs.

yes there are a number of large medtech firms who relocated to Ireland for their favourable tax rates. and the US market is massive for med tech, not just because of the size, but firms can charge a lot more there for the same product

That's true but it doesn't deflect from the immediate concern here.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Listening to his speech on these tariffs.

He has a way of doing things that is surely unique in the world?

Five minutes into the speech to a global audience he pulls up some autoworker to talk in very straight terms about his job and factories closing in Detroit etc.

No one else does that do they?

Laughable. His unilateral declaration of a trade war will make every poor person on the planet worse off.

Well I guess we are about to find out.

One likely scenario though is that it actually leads to a rather rapid reduction in tariffs given he cites those on US goods as justification for the changes.

I think it's a power play more than anything
