It’s like, nobody’s really getting off the hook for unfair trade balances, according to Donald Trump. But, like, the exemptions and exclusions to the tariffs he’s imposed on imports to America kind of suggest otherwise, you know? His whole “reciprocal” tariffs thing that he announced on April 2nd came with a 37-page annexe that, like, exempted a whopping $644bn-worth of American imports, which is, like, about a fifth of the total, man. And then on April 11th, he went ahead and exempted another 20 products, including smartphones and computers. So, like, what’s the deal with that?
Pity those American firms in China, you know? Xi Jinping is totally hitting back, man. And if you’re wondering how to swerve Donald Trump’s tariffs, well, good luck with that. Spanish businesses seem to be thriving while bigger European economies are just kind of stalling, which is totally wild. And did you know that LinkedIn is playing this unlikely role in the AI race? Yeah, crazy, right? Oh, and there’s this new way to recycle plastic that’s making waves. Who would’ve thought? Also, reclaiming the office lunch is apparently a thing now. And hey, the trade war might just reverse Hong Kong’s commercial decline.
Not really sure why all of this matters, but it’s kind of interesting, right? Like, who knew that all these different things were happening in the business world? It’s like a whole other universe out there. So many twists and turns, you know? Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, something new comes along. But hey, that’s business for you. Wild, unpredictable, and totally fascinating.
