So chips and stuff like that.
So where do you think this thing is going to land? And what's the difference between what we send to China and what they send to us?
Well, that's bananas. I don't know if I can assume 27 pounds of bananas.
Yeah, and a lot of investment banks have come out and talked about how these crazy tariffs and China's 125% retaliatory tariff. First of all, are you surprised with how tough they've been in the negotiation?
So a lot of iBanks are now saying, and the IMF are slashing growth forecasts, saying that there are higher chances of recessions because of all the tariff drama. So if nothing changes, do you think there's going to be a recession? Do you think the writing's on the wall?
That is for sure. And I think that people, you know, and the markets are just having whiplash every single day and really craving some certainty. China, of course, is dominating a lot of the news. And I think people realize that so much of our stuff does come from China. And so the trickle down is...
serious and the talks are just escalating, but a lot of other countries have come back to the table, which I'm sure you're not surprised by. What about Canada and Mexico? I mean, these are our homies. What do you think about our long-term relationship with them?
We are a great service to America as a matter of fact. So do you think tourism from Canada, from where else is going to get affected?
But also the perception. I mean, Fred, you are one of the most dapper gentlemen I know and such a good diplomat around the world for many, many years. What do you think the perception now of the U.S. is with all of this? How has that changed and how is that? Well, it's hard to do great things for the dollar either.
That's really interesting. Hold on to your wallets. Money Rehab will be right back. And now for some more Money Rehab. Just stepping back to the goal of all of this and bringing manufacturing back to the United States. In theory, this sounds amazing. You know, in practice, do you think it's going to work to help the middle class? And these are the goals.
I mean, I think everybody wants to get behind that idea, but is it possible?
You recently wrote, Fred, that as Trump doubles down on his America first rhetoric, he is at best ignoring the most crucial fact about the American economy. It runs on trade. Can you explain how Americans benefit from trade?
Like our travel to other countries.
Yeah, there was that commercial. Yeah, you won't get a lemon.
Yeah. So if the US is the number two exporter in the world, number one, maybe with services, who do these retaliatory tariffs actually hurt? Like, aren't they just hurting that country?
So China is saying, we're going to get Airbus instead of Boeing now?
Yeah. And these really complicated supply chains, too. So with the iPhone coming from the Congo and I don't know, you know, Netherlands, Switzerland, Korea and the United States. So how do these companies then navigate a supply chain? How do you even, you know, how can you price in for a P&L or as companies try to go raise money or go into markets?
Treading water a little bit. But you say that tariffs aren't all that bad. What kind of tariffs actually help Americans?
So when we talk about, and by the way, I think a lot of people agree with that. That that doesn't seem like a controversial move.
The rest of it, do you feel like is just a bunch of negotiations that are going to calm down?
