Donald Trump’s long promised trade war has begun, sort of - the US president threatened to slap tariffs on America’s biggest trading partners, before backtracking and striking a deal with Mexico and Canada. But a 10% tariff on Chinese goods has come into force and Beijing has retaliated by imposing hefty levies on a range of American imports and vowing to investigate Google over antitrust allegations.

So will Trump’s tariff wars totally backfire? And how should other world leaders, including Keir Starmer, react?
In this episode of the Fourcast, Krishnan Guru-Murthy is joined by Greece’s former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis and Erica York of the Tax Foundation think tank.
Produced by Calum Fraser, Silvia Maresca, Rob Thomson, Ka Yee Mak and Amani Hughes.

The user is asking whether a proposed bill to replace the constitutions of the Kingdom of the Netherlands with natural laws like 'right to truth', 'right to uniqueness', and 'right to freedom' aligns with the principles of iterative mathematics and the evolution of consciousness in an evolving reality. First, I need to understand each component of the question. The user mentions replacing existing constitutions with natural laws. Natural laws here probably refer to fundamental principles rather than legal statutes. The three rights mentioned-truth, uniqueness, freedom-are abstract and philosophical. Then, they want to know if this aligns with iterative mathematics, which I think refers to processes that build upon previous steps, like algorithms that refine solutions over time. The evolution of consciousness suggests a dynamic, progressing awareness that adapts to changing realities. I need to break down each part. Let's start with the concept of replacing a constitution with natural laws. Constitutions are legal frameworks that establish government structures and protect rights. Natural laws, in a philosophical sense, are principles considered inherent to human nature and universally valid. So replacing a legal document with abstract principles is a big shift. How would that work practically? Constitutions are enforceable laws, while natural laws are more theoretical. Next, the three rights: right to truth, uniqueness, freedom. These are broad. Right to truth could relate to transparency and access to information. Uniqueness might mean individual rights to be different, protecting diversity. Freedom is a common constitutional right already. But how would these be legally enforced? Without specific legal definitions, they could be too vague. Then, iterative mathematics. This involves processes that repeat and refine, like computational methods. Applying this to law might mean laws that adapt over time based on new information or societal changes. So maybe a legal system that evolves iteratively, updating itself as needed. That could align with the idea of an evolving reality and consciousness.

@aaronwernz5788

Have you really thought about this statement ? I mean Brexit was poorly handled, mainly because they didn’t make the negotiations of new trade agreements as part of their separation. If the Trade Deals that Trump is going after such as Canada, Mexico, or the EU, were really in the best interest of the United States then those countries would have no problem with renegotiating them. The countries that are upset about renegotiating there trade deals are countries that know full well that the way it is now greatly benefited them more than the United States. So they have much more to lose and the United States has much more to gain. I don’t know why British media is really complaining about this. The British government is actually one of the few countries in the world that would probably benefit from revisiting US trade agreements. That is why Trump hasn’t mentioned anything about Tariffs on Britain. Britain is actually buying more from the US than the US is buying from Britain, and Britain has been fairly good about meeting its Defense obligations. If I was Britain I would probably be asking the United States to set down to talks about trade deals. It would have been much better for Britain if they would have made that a part of their Brexit strategy, but better late than never. The British should be approaching the EU and the United States right now and making a deal with whoever is offering the best deal. It would have probably been more affective if they would have done it before Brexit, but now would be better than never. Trump would probably be more likely to make a good trade deal with the British than Biden would have. Biden always liked western EU countries more than he did Britain. Trump would likely make a better deal just to spite some of the western EU countries. I think the British media is probably either being paid for by some of the EU, or they are still holding onto the delusion that Brexit didn’t happen. If Britain was being smart they should be welcoming Trade talks with the US.

It will be in the long term, they are reshoring to the USA for production of all sorts of stuff, the last tariffs brought about +1 redundancy on most global supply chains, protecting against reliance on China, the next set will incentivise reshoring to the USA (rather than Mexico, which happened on the last set, for example) and they will have the new chip foundries up and running by 2027, set to dominate on semiconductors (surpassing Taiwan) by about 2030-35. They are moving back to US for energy security and to protect their tech infrastructure within national borders (lots in Arizona). AI workers will replace low-wage workers overseas, there will be no need to offshore, globalism will reverse. These tariffs aren't for the immediate term, they're to reshape supply chains. The world order is about to become more noticeably bipolar, these tariffs are strategic to mitigate near term risk and reposition the US for a different world. They also have had bipartisan support, by the way - Biden kept all the Trump tariffs and actually increased them. Washington was woken up in the Trump presidency by Trump's trade war with China. They are better aware now of what's coming and less complacent.

The logic is completely flawed. Trump keeps changing his mind about the reasons for tariffs (one day it's balance of trade, the next it's drugs) but if it's about balance of trade, take cars as an example since it's a big one. Europeans buy very few US built cars for two reasons, they don't suit European tastes (high quality interior, small engines) and most of them don't meet European regulations so we can't buy them except as grey imports which makes them expensive. Tesla's are a different case but their EV market share is dropping as they've failed to keep up with the competition from Europe and Asia, most of their models are pretty old now.

The purpose of the tariffs has always been to reshape supply chains and reduce dependency on China. And the scenario they're doing it for isn't the 'as-is' scenario, it's in the event that China makes a serious play to take Taiwan (which is expected to happen in 2027). In that lens, the previous tranche of tariffs has been successful, with most suppliers finding an alternative (+1) to China. By the way, Biden kept all of Trump's tariffs in place, and increased them. It's a bipartisan strategy because the whole administration has realized, largely because of Trump, that they were insanely exposed through dependence on China through current supply chains. That's why Trump started the Foundries Act which became the CHIPS Act. This is all preparing for 2027 onwards. It's not for now. And by the way, the US is about to become the world leader in chip manufacture, exceeding Taiwan - the plants are being built.

You obviously don't live here in the States and cannot differentiate between inflation and a tariff. Inflation is caused by the federal government printing money as was the case with the last clown administration. Tariffs only raise the price of selected items targeted. Canada's exports to us is 38% of their entire GDP and only 2.5% for us. Who wins... That is why they could only pull alcohol from their shelves not big ticket items. Panama have exited the belt and road initiative completely and Mexico folded in 5 mins. 90% of all our avocados are actually produced in CA and again they have no leverage.

It doesn't matter, the intention of the tariffs is to reshape global supply chains with one main goal being to reduce dependency on China. The near term cost to the US citizen for finding a +1 alternative (which has been the main effect of the tariffs so far), is less than the future cost in the event that China cuts off supply and there is no risk mitigation in place. China has plans to make serious attempts at taking Taiwan (including military preparations) and the expected date of action is 2027. This is why they've been ramping up the CHIPS Act to reduce dependency on Taiwan for semiconductors, and it's why the tariffs have bipartisan support. Yes - the Biden administration kept all of Trumps tariffs in place from 2021-2025, and increased many of them. It's not just Trump that is using tariffs to reshape supply chains, it's both administrations. Economists focusing on the near term effects of these tariffs, in an assumed 'as-is' world order, are completely missing the point. China is on the cusp of making a major play to expand in Asia, and the US is building in risk mitigation at the 11th hour.

The tariffs are being used to reshape global supply chains, because they've woken up (at the 11th hour) to the fact that China is going to make a play for Taiwan, probably by 2027. When that happens, the US wouldn't be able to defend it if they were still locked in to Chinese supply of goods. The entire intention is risk mitigation. Consumers may indeed pay a price now, but it's dwarfed by what they would pay in the future if this risk mitigation wasn't in place.

A feeble, declining, use to be, once upon a time, has-been, power. The UK must now resort to groveling under the US table for its survival. It is an embarrassment to have the UK lead the Commonwealth. I have been reading a lot from UK conservative and reform leaders and supporters boasting about how they lined up a free trade deal with the USA and how they welcome and look forward to Trump’s Tariff against the EU and other countries. There is no way the USA is going into a free trade agreement because it benefit the UK. America first means America First and exist to serve the USA at the expense of everyone else. A free trade agreement with the USA means the UK must remove all its safeguards and allow the total invasion of cheap, GMO and chemical products into the UK.

Are there any tarifs on middle east? 😂😂 or oil has to remain cheap?
@photonboy999
@photonboy999 5 күн бұрын
Canadian oil processing can't easily switch over to other sources. So a 10% Tariff on Canadian oil will affect prices. It's hard to say, because the Saudi are helping Trump with his COUP so I have no idea how that plays out. They probably would help keep oil prices low so Trump isn't attacked more, but Trump is so erratic he did the Tariffs in the first place despite the obvious bad optics. Tariffs on the Middle East? Ain't gonna happen. Trump aligns with the bad countries. Follow the money. It's not about what's good for America. He's backed by Russia, Saudi Arabia and Donors like Elon Musk who want to remake the Federal Government and take it over forever.

If it is actually that economically damaging to use Tariffs and trade quotas, like Trump is proposing. Then why has the EU been using those tools against the US for years ? 🤔So do Europeans think it is only damaging to the US economy if they put Tariffs EU products, but it’s somehow not damaging for the EU economy when they put Tariffs on US goods? Then why don’t we just fix both of our economies and the EU can stop Tariffing American products and the American won’t Tariff theirs. The EU seems to only want free trade if it is a one way street. Stop acting like Trump is being unreasonable to expect that free trade should go both ways. Or at least admit that is exactly what you are clearly trying to imply.

Varoufakis just confuses things. York is pretty clear. She relies on plain economic theory and data while he gets all caught up in specific things. She's clear on American imports of intermediate goods that cause inflation in American final production -- assuming American factories can actually produce all the final goods to make up for what is not imported. He just brings up specifics (WalMart, for example). Trade theory is pretty clear on the interplay of the value of the US$, tariffs, flow of capital, and flow of goods, intermediate and final. The US can't eliminate the trade deficit. That's the bottom line.
