of course it has nothing to do with,
that the price of gas there is seasonal, depending on the consumption of the period, if I remember correctly -
the same for the labour market, it picks up in the spring, just usually to a greater extent....

Well, if that's the case, then even more so. Price of gas goes up in the summer months by a few cents due to demand. Yes, yes, it's the changing seasons. It has nothing to to do with the changing of any policies.

I'd love to see a time frame on that made up chart.

But as you may be aware, people went back to work after the COVID lockdowns and those were counted as "new" jobs under Biden. Also, the government expanded under Biden, (or whoever was running things) and 25% of new jobs were government jobs.

As far as you made up chart goes.........

Hmmm, from CNN no less.

Yet Trump is a genius for predicting the future accurately, six months ahead..... If I ask him, he might tell me the lottery numbers.

Sorry, you'll have to do better than that. Just because you love/hate him doesn't mean he's not doing a great job here.

There is no champagne made in the US.

Eric Trump operates a winery bought by the Donald and then transferred to his son shortly afterwards. If this were the Bidens conservatives would be pointing out the obvious conflict of interest.

Tariffs placed by the EU are of equal monetary value to those of the US. It is cheap populism to look at these product type by product type.

...

U countermeasures on US steel and aluminium tariffs explained

On 12 March, the United States imposed tariffs of up to 25% on imports of steel, aluminium, and certain products containing steel and aluminium from the European Union and other trading partners. In response, the Commission is launching a series of countermeasures to protect European businesses, workers and consumers from the impact of these unjustified trade restrictions.

The new US measures

The US measures implemented on 12 March consist of three key elements:

Reinstating the June 2018 section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminium products. These covered different types of semifinished and finished products, such as steel pipes, wire and tin foil.
Increasing the tariffs imposed on aluminium from the original 10% to 25%.
Extending the tariffs to other products, notably:
Steel and aluminium products, such as household products like cooking ware or window frames.
Products that are only partly made of steel or aluminium, such as machinery, gym equipment, certain electrical appliances or furniture.
In addition, the US Secretary of Commerce will establish by 12 May 2025 a system whereby the US will continue to extend the list of steel and aluminium derivatives products subject to additional duties of up to 25%.

The US tariffs will affect a total of €26 billion of EU exports, which corresponds to approximately 5% of total EU goods exports to the US. Based on current import flows, this will result in US importers having to pay up to €6 billion in additional import tariffs.

The EU's response

The Commission has launched a swift and proportionate response, designed to defend European interests through two countermeasures:

The reimposition of the suspended 2018 and 2020 rebalancing measures;
The imposition of a new package of additional measures.
Reimposing suspended countermeasures

On 1 April 2025, the 2018 and 2020 rebalancing measures will automatically be reinstated once their suspension expires on 31 March. For the first time, these rebalancing measures will be implemented in full. Tariffs will be applied on products ranging from boats to bourbon to motorbikes.

A new package of additional measures

Since the new US tariffs are significantly broader in scope and affect a significantly higher value of European trade, the Commission launched on 12 March the process to impose additional countermeasures on the US. These will target approximately €18 billion worth of goods, which will then apply together with the reimposed measures from 2018. The objective is to ensure that the total value of the EU measures corresponds to the increased value of trade impacted by the new US tariffs.
