The tariff guy announced tariffs?! Who could have seen that coming? Especially after ha already had set up tariffs a few month back and gave a 90 day pause for negotiations and that pause now ends. Totally unpredictable.

If they are surprised that he threaten them with new tariffs, they should resign
