Something strange is happening over there in the United States! On July 31st, Beijing time, those people at the White House suddenly announced that Trump had signed a new order, saying they would add a 40% tax on goods coming from Brazil. Goodness, with this increase, it goes straight up to 50%! Isn't this outrageous!
Let me tell you, the Brazilians must be crying in the bathroom right now. Just think about it, business is already tough, and now they have to pay so much more in taxes. Isn't this a recipe for disaster? I bet the bosses selling coffee beans and beef in Brazil are cursing right now!
Even more outrageous is that old man Trump is smugly saying he has reached an agreement with the South Koreans. From now on, everything shipped to the U.S. from South Korea will incur a 15% tax. But the South Koreans aren't foolish; they said they would throw $350 billion at the U.S.! My goodness, $350 billion! How much is that? I can't even count it on my fingers!
If you ask me, this old man Trump really knows how to do business. Look at him dealing with Brazil today and hitting South Korea tomorrow; his business acumen is impressive! However, we also need to be cautious. Who knows when he might turn his sights on us? When the time comes, will our goods also be subject to higher taxes when sold to the U.S.?
Sigh, doing business these days is really not easy. The U.S. is always finding ways to collect taxes, making the whole world anxious. If you ask me, we should keep our eyes open and see what new tricks this old man Trump has up his sleeve. But to be fair, although he loves to stir things up, his ability to make money is certainly not to be underestimated, don’t you think?
