THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. White House Narrows April 2 Tariffs - WSJ Mar 23, 2025, 17:26 GMT-4 DJN 4 min read By Gavin Bade, Josh Dawsey and Meridith McGraw WASHINGTON - The White House is narrowing its approach to tariffs set to take effect on April 2, likely omitting a set of industry-specific tariffs while applying reciprocal levies on a targeted set of nations that account for the bulk of foreign trade with the U.S. President Trump has declared his April 2 deadline to be "Liberation Day" for the U.S., when he will put in place so-called reciprocal tariffs that seek to equalize U.S. tariffs with the duties charged by trading partners, as well as tariffs on sectors like automobiles, pharmaceuticals and semiconductors he repeatedly said would be enacted on that day. Those sector-specific tariffs, however, are now not likely to be announced on April 2, said an administration official, who said the White House is still planning to unveil the reciprocal tariff action on that day, though planning remains fluid. The shift was first reported by Bloomberg. The fate of the sectoral tariffs, as well as tariffs on Canada and Mexico that Trump said were justified by fentanyl trafficking, remains uncertain. The White House didn't respond to requests for comment on if or when any of those tariffs are still planned to go into effect. The focus of the reciprocal action now looks to be more targeted than originally thought, according to people with knowledge of the planning, though it will still hit countries that account for most of the U.S.'s imports.
2A is the only amendment 'conservatives' believe in.
The Trump administration’s proposal to vet social media profiles of green card applicants already legally in the U.S. has been condemned in initial public feedback as an attack on free speech.
I care my freedom of speech being protected so I have the right to say what I want without being censored.
But why should we take in green card applicants who hate Trump and MAGA?
They don't just hate Trump they hate western civilization.
Which is why the left loves them. The left loathes western civilization too.

This dude flip flops more than John Kerry.
It's almost like his actual goal is achieving a purpose not just imposing tariffs.
Shouting doesn’t win a debate and neither does grabbing at straws.
As much as you love to believe you have magical law powers and denigrate others by calling them names (which some are super sensitive to), the fact is that no amount of BS can overcome the very first sentence of the US Constitution.
We the People of the United States.
Thats a wrap. no Venezuelan passport holder is a person of the United States, no matter how many liberals support their activity.
We the People of the World is your dream but that was not Madison’s, or he would have wrote it that way. No lawyer can change those words no matter how much they hate Donald Trump or love MS-13 gangs members.
Ok no shouting. “We the People of the United States. Thats a wrap. no Venezuelan passport holder is a person of the United States, no matter how many liberals support their activity.”
Is Venezuelan passport holder/refugee subject to American law when he is in the US (not in embassy)? If he shoots someone on the Fifth Avenue, can he be arrested and charged based on American law? Why and why not?
your ignorance about USAID is killing thousands of people, destroying good will built up over generations and helping destabilize poor areas of the world which will suck us into war.
But you sure showed those transexuals. You did that, boy oh boy did you. With extreme prejudice.
You absolute idiots.
Wait, it is the responsibility of the US taxpayers to create good will throughout the world and fund other countries stupid fantasies and sesame street knockoffs?
You need to wake up. especially silly when 80% of that so called USAID money went back into the pockets of the crooked liberals pockets.
Almost all of the Constitution applies to anyone on US soil, citizen or not.
So keep repeating your lie and I'll keep shouting the truth back into your ear.
Think about which side of that transaction you want to be on. The liar or the truth guy.

Wait it doesn’t say ‘We the citizens of the United States’????? What???? Are you telling me that the constitution doesn’t mention citizenship from the beginning?
gee whose argument could this help?

Let’s check in on the Trump admin on how it feels about Western Civilization and our links to Europe:
JD Vance: Denmark is not doing its job, and isn't being a good ally…if that means we need to take more territorial interest in Greenland that is what president trump is going to do. Because he doesn't care about what the Europeans scream at us…

Citizens are mentioned in the 14th, just so people like you understand. I have yet to see where Venezuelans are mentioned. I wonder why the Venezuelans have an embassy here since they are US People? Crazy huh?
Billionaire Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick: “Let’s say Social Security didn’t send out their checks this month. My mother, who’s 94, wouldn’t call and complain,” he said. “Whoever screams is the one stealing.” Social Security recipients receive on an average of $65 a day—an amount Lutnick likely couldn’t survive on for a single day.

No one can survive on social security alone which is one of the primary reason it's been so harmful to our society.
Democrats passed it in 1935 as means to buy votes with absolutely zero thought of the future.
It was a Ponzi scheme from day one and we just happen to be the generation that's left holding the bag.
We should all be a little easy on AGIP for awhile while he tries to understand why Venezuela has an embassy here for US People. Let’s give him time to research a proper answer since it hasn’t readily come to him.

Literally millions of Americans rely on Social Security for all their income, Richie Rich.

Yank lies and says the constitution only gives rights to citizens. Thats all there is to it. He’s a trumper and Trumpers watch their leader lie day and night and be rewarded for it. So they think it’s cool to lie. degeneracy is not pretty.
Yemen: to keep the shipping lanes clear, not just to help israel
Syria: we were fighting the Islamic State
Libya: We wanted to rid the world of a very nasty terrorist tyrant
why in the world do you think all these wars were for Israel?
(I do know why - you are bats't crazy about the Jews. )
Anyway. As you know, Israel is a liberal democracy, the only one in the middle east so it is a natural ally. Furthermore, it has helped the US enormously in terms of intelligence about a region that hates the USA.
Obviously lots of trade between our two nations helps too.
There is no genocide. You have a better argument for apartheid though.
Why does that region hate the USA? Maybe because we bombed the shyte out of them on behalf of Israel and Big Oil?
First of all, let's dispel this ridiculous notion that Israel is this amazing little democracy that we support for totally benevolent reasons.
Israel is not a democracy, it is a RADICAL right wing paramilitary "country" that hides behind a perversion of Judaism that is Zionism, a violent, racist settler-colonial ideology.
I'll give you a more accurate reason for the invasion of those countries that you listed:
Syria: is a direct neighbor of Israel that Netanyahu and the Likud (Zionists) have wanted to conquer since the inception of Israel. They had already done it with the illegal Golan Heights annexation and are now taking even more territory in the Southwest while the actual terrorists who our media called "rebels", who were funded by the CIA (look up al-Jolani CIA connections) carve up and destabilize the country further. Additionally, there were plans for a transcontinental oil pipeline from Qatar to Turkey which was proposed in the early 2010s, which the Assad government flatly rejected... *coincidentally* this was when we decided Assad was a boogeyman and set up the false flag gas attacks to have an excuse to wage war on his government.
Libya: Wanted to establish a currency that would compete with the U.S. dollar - the Libyan dinar. Libya was a successful and prosperous nation, the greatest in Africa, and they wanted to provide the African continent with a way to be non-reliant on the U.S. dollar which the United States has weaponized to take control of vast swaths of natural resources in Africa. This one was Israel was less directly involved in, but the United States war machine/economic hitmen/deep state maliciously took over this country and it is now a shadow of what it was 15 years ago.
Because we all know how we "spread democracy" around the world, i.e. covertly conquer and exploit nations as close as Guatemala (Guatemalan genocide) and as far as Iraq (where we killed a million Iraqis and stole their oil). The CIA has staged more than 60 covert coups around the world since the conclusion of World War II. The United States empire is not benevolent. It is the eminence of a dying capitalist machine.
As for the obvious, unquestionable genocide in Gaza - agip, I've never liked you, but even I'm shocked that you deny the genocide that is happening. That is unusual for someone who is more left leaning though not totally unheard of.
You may also want to copy and paste any of these searches into google and investigate some of this for yourself:
Israel sniping children, doctors, journalists and international aid workers Israel using AI to profile and kill civilians
Israel history of testing weapons on Palestinians to support their arms exportation business
Israel indoctrinating civilians with lies about Palestinians to instill racism and hatred towards them Israel illegal occupation of Palestine since 1948 Israel illegal blockade and border control of Palestine since 2005 Israel illegal settlements and land theft in the west bank Israel illegal detentions and rape and torture of prisoners Israel bombing hospitals, aid convoys, and refugee camps
Israel disallowing journalists, human rights groups and aid convoys to enter the Gaza Strip Israel having prior knowledge of impending October 7th attacks and moving their military to the other side of the country to allow it to happen, thereby sacrificing their civilians to inflate the attack and have justification to begin the genocide Israel repeatedly reneging on terms of cease-fire agreements Israel destruction of arable land, medical and residential infrastructure Israel perpetrating 9/11 in order to goad the west into attacking their enemies in the Middle East to weaken them, steal more land and ethnically cleanse Israel attacking the USS Liberty in 1967 to goad the US into war with Egypt
Operation Cast Lead
Gaza Freedom Flotilla
42 kneecaps in one day
Haavara Agreement
Samson Option
Or maybe just go to the @eye.on.palestine instagram account if you want to see videos of IDF soldiers shooting children in the head. Maybe that's what you need to get it.
Israel doesn't even hide that they are trying to conquer the Middle East at this point, proudly displaying their "Greater Israel" icon on the lapels of their terrorist army:

The fact is , SS could easily be fixed, with a modicum of financial discipline. It's a math exercise. Bt Dems continuously using it as a scare tactic, saying that Rep want to eliminate it? Thats complete BS, No one could run on that, the biggest voting block are Boomers+.

You lied to us when you said for 4 years the border was secure as 12 million illegals strolled across. Do you wish now you had been honest with us?

No one can survive on your minimum wage...there's your issue, and social security is always going to be less than that otherwise why work
Social Security is one of the things that has made our country (Australia) that great to live in. Our taxes pay for it and it benefits the whole society
Meanwhile Trump is making Canada Great Again. His actions against a friendly neighbour caused a resurgence in the support of the Liberal govt who was destined to lose the next election, instead Carney has called a snap election 9 days into leadership to take advantage of the support.
Trump is also making Australia Great Again, as Canada are now buying $6.5B worth of Aussie Radar Technology that was originally going to come from USA
It’s time to stop pretending Trump is just using crazy to distract everyone. It was only 6 months ago when all the expert pundits said Trump eliminating the department of education was not to be taken seriously because Congressional Republicans would never allow him.
Trump is conditioning Americans for taking actions to take Greenland from a NATO ally because “he wants it”.
“JD Vance: Denmark is not doing its job, and isn't being a good ally…if that means we need to take more territorial interest in Greenland that is what president trump is going to do. Because he doesn't care about what the Europeans scream at us…”
