We regret but have to temporary suspend the shipments to USA

Even aside from the advisability of the tariffs -- it turns out there might be a reason that tarrifs haven't usually been imposed with like weeks notice, after months of back and forth, with no real advance implementation planning on the government's part and not enough time or reliable info for anyone else to do so either?

It is very strange to me that the government seems to be going for maximum shock and uncertainty on the US economy. Again, apart from the advisability of the actual tarrifs, they could have been implemented in the usual way to allow people to plan for them (and possibly give feedback on them), but they were not.

If your goal was to see the US recede as the global economic leader you couldn't create a better playbook than the one being done by this administration.

Shock and uncertainty causes large dips in the stock market. As as long as the economy isn't completely toast by the time you backpedal completely, it'll recover somewhat.

Just imagine the money you could make if you could induce such events on demand, with only you and your friends all being prepared for it!

Just a thought. Purely hypothetical. No one would do that. Surely.

Stocks going down you say? Not to worry, Uncle Sam will graciously buy your shares on the open market to keep them from dropping further.
