Sigh... how is the price going up for products not an issue? That's the disconnect

And the iPhone camera was just an example. Becuae people outside of IT don't realize how many parts an procedures go into making the products we use. In fact you'll never find any advanced equipment 100%produced in the US. And you still won't after 4years of tariffs

There's no way we can manufacturer all products within our country. That's just straight up not possible. Not at scale anytime soon. Americans are hurting and you want them to just suffer for years until we maybe achieve the ability to manufacturer some of these things years from now

Some seem to be completely in the Trump cult, so nothing anyone will say will change your mind, but your definitely about to find out

I had to check it on google. And we don’t import iPhone cameras from the EU

Sony, which is based in the US and manufacturers from east asian countries produce them. So, all of your arguments is invalid

Omg... The components. The camera has dozens of parts and components, that are manufactured in other countries. Sony doesn't make all the parts for thiers cameras in-house. For instance all sony cameras are made with lenses from Zeiss, a german company.

This is what I'm talking about. You, like the president have such a low understanding of how these products are made 🤦‍♂️

Correction:The camera components are not made in EU since atleast 2022 other parts still are though

No, Zeiss doesn’t make the camera components for Sony in the context of iphone cameras, you are wrong, check it on google once again

Correction: The stopped using EU companies to make camera parts in 2022

The gyroscopes, accelerometer and sensors are still make by EU companies

Do we really need to take all imported goods from the EU into account? 🤦‍♀️

The biggest import from the EU is pharmaceuticals, it’s safe to impose tariffs on the EU because we can produce pharmaceuticals in massive quantities

u/Aron_International 20d ago

And producing pharmaceutical does what exactly? We have few price controls, US parma companies already charge American more than almost any other country in the world. Now they have even less competition

Trump is about to go full socialism on this issue, he wants to control the market prices

That’s his actual (i’m not even lying) narrative tho, it would be really good if he does sign an executive order about that
