The irony with tariffs is that the customer (you and me) pay the tariff and not CN seller.

Doing his best to bankrupt America just like his casino.

It's retaliatory cuz they don't wanna share their rare metals/elements that we need for everything. I voted for him but he's making peptides impossible and killing my 401k. They better make a deal...

I really hope he and Ping meet at the APEC summit and work out a solution, this situation is hurting everyone.

Does India make peptides?

Trump is acting like a 5 year old tyrant with a bad tantrum.

That’s not quite how it works. The U.S. imports many rare earth elements from countries like China because we lack large-scale domestic production. A 100% tariff would be a U.S. action—essentially a tax on imports—which would raise costs for products that use those materials (like electronics, EVs, and manufacturing equipment).

Other countries could retaliate, but the tariff itself isn’t because they don’t want to share—it’s the U.S. trying to pressure or protect certain industries

They do but it's way more expensive than China from what I've found. Almost US prices from multiple different sources I've looked into. Almost.

What I read was china was gonna make us use permits, with restrictions and requirements and Trump said I guess there's no sense even meeting next month and then said I'll slap another 100% on the 30%.... seems like a reaction to china's action but I'm not a political science major.

I voted for him too, but I’m more upset about his bitch move to allow Qatar to put an Airbase in Idaho as part of the peace deal with Israel and Palestine. He lost me with that shit. That’s pandering at its best. I say accelerate letting them destroy the each other.

I agree with this and I’m a conservative libertarian. It’s getting old already.

Does India make peptides?

Yes, but you might as well go to a domestic vendor considering the price points. You can find lyopholized on IndiaMart and Kawwal sells some pens and liquid vials.

Yeah, you’ve got the basic idea right — China did announce new export restrictions on certain rare earth materials and minerals, which are essential for tech, batteries, and manufacturing. The new rules would mean U.S. companies have to apply for permits and meet extra conditions to import them.

Trump’s response about “no sense meeting next month” and threatening another 100% tariff is definitely a reaction to that. So you’re right — it’s back-and-forth pressure.

The tricky part is that tariffs like that don’t just hit China — they raise costs for U.S. manufacturers who rely on those materials, which can ripple into higher prices and market drops. That’s probably what’s showing up in your 401k.

So yeah, it’s a real standoff — both sides using leverage, but in the meantime, it creates a lot of uncertainty for investors and consumers.
