    It appears that steel companies are benefiting enormously- steel prices for domestic steel have gone up by more than the tariffs. There has been a small drop in the last two weeks, however.

    But companies which consume steel are likely to hurt, and some have been indicating this. Wherever steel or aluminium is used in manufacturing, the costs are rising. Motorcycle manufacturers, white goods makers, soft drink and beer companies are likely to be affected.

    Trump is on track to wreck the US economy, like he wrecked most of the businesses he ever started. Extreme tarrifs (=taxes) and destroying trade and other agreements are just the first steps.

    But we'll, they asked for it and didn't stop him, so c'est la vie. Just keep your money out of the USA for a while.

    Yes, terrible don't invest in US:)

    I purchased an additional 9 properties in US since March 2018, low inventory - historical lows, what does this mean BOOM times. Had 14 offers on one property.
    Give it a miss....... I don't need the competition:p

    The US housing market has an inventory problem


    So far since Trump -
    *Record Stockmarket
    *3.7 million new jobs created
    *Has not given any Uranium to Russia
    *Has not given plane-loads of cash ($150B) to Terrorist regimes (Iran)
    *Peace talks and ongoing discussions with NOKO - long term denuclearisation, world peace, and prosperity for the NOKO Citizens through better trade conditions and lifting of sanctions (subject to denuc).
    *Repatriated $7T of Company profits back into the USA through tax cuts programs.

    Economy is a *****..... ... 4.1% GDP...….:rolleyes:

    Obama created more jobs.
    No uranium was ever sent to Russia
    The money sent to Iran was theirs, owed by the US for a long time.
    North Korea talks did nothing
    Trump Has Nobody to Blame for North Korea but Himself

    Trump is a clueless, lying, destabilising and dangerous fool.

    A good unbiased source on how good Trump's new deal is - delivered by Trump.

    There's a lot that's not known yet. There appears to be good and bad for each country. So far it looks like a few headline differences, especially in areas which Trump has been vocal about, but details about a lot of areas aren't known yet.

    All these countries talking tough saying they would start dealing with other countries, that they don't need the US all seem to be rushing to get new deals signed with the US

    You do realise that Tony Swartz - the actual author of the book - has admitted it was a work of fiction.
