      From the article at the top of the page.

      According to The Wall Street Journal, the Biden administration will announce plans to roughly quadruple tariffs, to 100 percent from the current 25 percent, as well as tack on an additional 2.5 percent duty.

        Correct. Tariff’s on Aluminium and Steel. More importantly, WSJ cite the video of Biden giving a speech about steel and aluminium.

        Imagine this as a headline:

        Breaking News: President Biden Announces War on Chinese Soda.

        That is an equally true title.

          And Semi Conductors. But that’s besides the point. This is corroborated all across major media. You’re just gaslighting at this point, hoping someone reads your comment and just never checks.

            I’m gaslighting? Me? Not the news article trying to convince the left that they’re anti-EV?
