China now asking other countries to impose tarrifs on the US.

Trump just fucked up the US economy because China can do an awful lot of damage with influence.

JUST IN: China vows to impose tariffs on US in response to Trump, calls on all countries to take action against US http://hill.cm/sqL3xgG

The Chinese Commerce Ministry issued a highly critical statement on Friday calling on countries to take “joint actions” against the United States over President Trump’s actions on tariffs.

The statement accused the Trump administration of being “fickle” and “provoking a trade war” by imposing massive tariffs on China.

“This move is not only damaging bilateral interests but also undermining the world trade order,” the statement said. “China firmly opposes this.”

China said in its statement that while it “does not want to fight a trade war,” it “has to respond strongly.”

“We call on all countries to take joint actions, resolutely put an end to this outdated and regressive behavior, and firmly defend the common interests of humankind.”

Syria, Israel, Africa (some countries), India, the Americas (except Mexico and Canada) Saudi Araba, to name a few will still trade with USA, I think.

Or maybe not.

Unfortunately trump'sters won't see the light until he crashes the economy.

And they'll still blame Obama. (You remember him, the black fella who cleaned up Dubya's fuckups and saved us from another great depression? )
