    Yeah, I feel somewhat guilty for trumpposting, but threatening Brazil for handling with its own internal politics is the lowest of the low for any country. Disgusting, even for him.

    I’d just try to replace every USA import with a chinese equivalent if I were Lula and divert e.g. meat exports to China and the EU. That would be fun to watch https://www.datamarnews.com/noticias/brazils-beef-exports-to-the-u-s-soar-by-498-despite-trumps-tariffs/ muricans without hamberders.

      Lol, that is exactly what I’ve been doing for months now. Why pay extra for a device which has a few final assembly steps in the US, when i can just source the components directly from China and build it in house?

      Switching up key suppliers to avoid paying taxes to the trump regime is a hard sell with the suits upstairs, but when the Americans start slapping additional taxes onto themselves and driving up their prices, they are handing me a divestment opportunity on a silver platter.
