    Are we really going to do this today?

    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.
