Saudi Arabia was wasting 25% of the world's steel on their stupid straight line city, so this move will probably lower their costs considerably.

They must've given trump a dollar or two.

Man Trump is such a fuck up. I thought they already put a pause on these tariffs? I can't tell anymore because this dumbass goes with the wind. America is so cooked!

They did and then they didn't... And then someone gave him money so they stopped it... But now he's upset again... So now it's more!!!!

Who wants to bet how long they last before they get paused again?

They have to find someone with an undergraduate level grasp of Economics to explain tariffs as a pass-through cost to the entire administration.

So, probably a while.
