Trump Slams Reporter on Camera Who Tells Him the Meaning of His 'TACO' Nickname: 'Don't Ever Say What You Said'​

The president's temper flared when a White House reporter shared the unflattering nickname that Wall Street has started using for his tariff plan​


  • President Donald Trump snapped at a reporter during a live press conference on Wednesday, May 28.
  • The reporter asked if he had a response to some Wall Street analysts dubbing his tariff plan "TACO trade," which stands for "Trump Always Chickens Out."
  • "Don't ever say what you said," the president fired back. "That's a nasty question."

This Woman Is Showing The Effects Of The Tariff War In China, And Hooooo Boy You Are Not Ready For This​


https://sg.yahoo.com/news/thank-trump-womans-viral-video-200816832.html


Here in the US, we're experiencing the effects of President Trump's tariff wars every single day as prices continue going up. If you're wondering how the tariffs are affecting people in other countries, Emily (emily.socialsss), a Canadian living in China, recently shared a video explaining exactly how things have changed for her in the grocery store over there.

Emily's video starts out, "Hello from China. So, I'm in a grocery store right now, and I wanted to show you how the American tariffs are affecting Chinese customers."

"So, I was gonna get some beef for dinner tonight, and I saw this," she says, holding up a package of beef. "What used to be here is American beef. But now, as you can see, it says Australian beef."

"And I did look around," she added. "I couldn’t find one single pack of beef from America. So I guess China just stopped buying beef from America, and it went straight to Australia."

"The whole idea that China is hurting because of the American tariffs? Well, they’re not, because they are not as dependent on the US. In fact, only 18% of Chinese imports come from America. And for stuff like beef and soy, they can just go somewhere else easily."

Trading Economics says that the number is even lower than Emily suggested, putting the percentage of China's imports that come from the US at around 7% in 2023.

According to the USDA, the US exported $1.58 billion worth of beef to China in 2024. Reuters also notes that in 2022, "soybeans were the No. 1 U.S. product imported by China," but that "the U.S. has lost competitive advantage to Brazil."

"So I guess I’m having Australian beef for dinner tonight instead of American beef," Emily continued. "And honestly, because of the food quality, I probably trust Australian beef better."

"And this box of beef right here is 50 RMB, which is about $7 USD."

"So to answer the question, China ain’t hurting. And if anything, I think we’re probably doing even better because now [we have] better beef that tastes better and at a better price."

@emily.socialsss / Via tiktok.com

"So, thank you, Trump, for that," she concluded.

Unsurprisingly, commenters had a lot to say on the topic. "USA put sanctions on themselves," one said.

The video even made its way over to Twitter (now known as X), where even more people shared their opinions. "So Trump trying to beef up American exports, actually lead to losing customers to export to," said one.

Trump keeps using steel from Shanghai in his speeches when Canada and the EU are biggest exporter to the US. I just wonder if Trump research into these before he blurts out.

Trump announces tariffs of 30% on Mexico and the European Union​


https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/12/business/trump-tariff-mexico-european-union


President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened duties of 30% on products from Mexico and the European Union, two of America’s biggest trading partners, in an ongoing tariff campaign that’s upended global trade since he retook office in January.

“The United States of America has agreed to continue working with the European Union, despite having one of our largest Trade Deficits with you. Nevertheless, we have decided to move forward, but only with more balanced and fair TRADE,” Trump wrote in the letter to Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, which he posted to Truth Social.

Trump has imposed a slate of tariffs on US trading partners this year – then paused, modified, raised or lowered them, in a chaotic barrage of policy actions that’s left everyone from major nations to individual Americans trying to figure out how to plan for the future even as economic uncertainty grows.

The EU and Mexico join a growing list of countries whose imports will face updated duties on August 1, since Trump began posting tariff letters on Monday with rates of up to 40%.

In his letters to the EU and Mexico, Trump said that all imports were subject to the 30% tariff, excluding “Sectoral Tariffs,” such as the 25% auto tariff.

Von der Leyen said in a statement that the EU remains “ready to continue working towards an agreement” by the August 1 deadline.

But, she said, a 30% tariff on EU exports would hurt supply chains, businesses and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. The EU “will take all necessary steps to safeguard EU interests, including the adoption of proportionate countermeasures if required,” von der Leyen wrote.

Products from Mexico, meanwhile, have mostly been able to enter the country duty-free, granted they were compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) Trump negotiated in his first term. In his letter addressed to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Trump said that tariff barriers were imposed to stop the flow of fentanyl into the United States, which he has previously used to justify earlier tariffs on Mexico as well.

“Mexico has been helping me secure the border, BUT, what Mexico has done, is not enough,” Trump wrote.

Mexico’s economy minister Marcelo Ebrard posted on X that a Mexican delegation told United States officials during a Friday meeting that plans to establish a new tariff rate would be “unfair treatment and that we did not agree.” But the United States and Mexico are negotiating to find an “alternative to protect businesses and jobs on both sides of the border.”

In the tariff letters, which were dated on Friday, Trump said that any retaliation of tariffs charged on US imports would be met with pushback from the United States. Trump said that “whatever the number you choose to raise (tariffs) by, will be added onto the 30% that we charge.”

He blamed both tariff and non-tariff trade barriers as additional reasons for imposing tariffs on the EU and Mexico.
