[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UPDATE 2: Petro is indeed not backing down. Colombia will impose 25% tariffs on all goods imported from the US.

He also directs Colombia's foreign trade minister to explore other countries to export to, and promises to support local exporters hurt by US tariffs.

The trade wars have begun.[/quote]

So what?

Colombia exports about 27% of its goods to the US.  The US exports about 1% of its goods to Colombia.

Tariff away.[/quote]

You really aren’t afraid of isolationism? PP is right that China is going to pick up the rope. [/quote]

People go on to Amazon and go to Safeway and have NO IDEA how international trade, diplomacy, and economics work. They think America can just exist as an island unto itself and the rest of the world is beholden to us just because. It's mind boggling. [/quote]

Actually, with respect to the US relative to almost all other countries, trade is a tiny part of the economy. We are very insulated from trade disruptions in the US, despite being one of the original pushers of the current globalized system. [/quote]

Yeah? We just manufacture most things in the US yes? Grow everything too?[/quote]
