Trump: Move to the US to avoid tariffs.
Tech companies: India it is!
I find it hilarious that their best plan is to build up another 1.5 billion country into a superpower
Which has the highest tariffs.
Does it? India?
Yup.
They literally have manufacturing facilities in the US as well due to the IBM acquisition. This article seems to gloss over the reality of them being globally diverse for a while.
HP and Dell manufacture more in PRC.
Yeah, there’s no evidence that this is because of tariffs. Companies don’t make big moves like this after only a week of changes.
What will happen is that the Chinese government will just take over manufacturing and plants and continue to make the same products under a Chinese name, the same way Russia rebranded a lot of companies that left then when the war started.
under a Chinese name
Lenovo is already a Chinese company. They're just moving production for US bound products somewhere else. I guarantee most of their production will still be in China.
So trump won’t tariff India?
Probably his brain is rotted and the last thing he remembers is that last thing someone told him.
Why would he? India is no really a challenge.
Yet.
All it would take is for him to have a bad interaction with someone vaguely Indian and he’ll throw down a tariff.
Yep. Remind him that Kamala Harris has half Indian ancestry and he'll be ready to colonize it right after Panama, Greenland, and Canada.
India is no really a challenge.
And Canada is?
Yes. Canada and Mexico are transit countries for products coming from China. Plus, he wants to reduce Fentanyl (but I doubt this is the real reason).

What? No.
Plus, he wants to reduce Fentanyl (but I doubt this is the real reason).
Yeah, we all doubt it: 0.2% of US fentanyl came form Canada. Zero point two percent!
Enlighten us. What is the reason?
Our Prime Minister and Foreign Minister believe Trump is using tariffs to force an annexation of Canada, just as his idol McKinley tried in 1870 (he also failed miserably)
You just answered it yourself. It failed miserably and it will obviously fail again. Nobody can seriously believe that the USA colonizes Canada. Consequently, it can't be the reason for the tarriffs.
No one believed people were dumb enough to vote for tRump once, much less a second time after his insurrectionist mob tried to stage thr violent overthrow of our system of government.
And yet... Here we are.
Nobody can seriously believe that the USA colonizes Canada.
Nobody could seriously believe a US President would allow an unelected billionaire into the halls of power and society to tear it down from the inside, but here were are.
Nobody seriously believes Project 2025 is real, or that the USA will backstab Ukraine, or that they would turn against the rest of NATO, or threaten to kick Canada out of Five eyes, or...
When will you fucking guys wake up? Your country is being taken from you and you're all standing around like "nuh-uh, no one can be stupid enough to do that!" Well I have news for you: there are people that stupid, and half of your countrymen are equally stupid.
Yeah, because tariffs are only reserved to large competitors on the world stage like, check notes, Canada?
Tariffs are reserved for those who tariff US goods.
It really helps if you pay enough attention to know what’s going on.
Read project 2025, it views India as the most aggregious.
You're applying logic when logic doesn't apply. Why would he tarriff Canada?
Because Canada tariffs us.
What tariffs are Canada imposing on the U.S. that is not retaliatory?
Winning
These companies will never come back.
Come back where? China?
Come, not coke
