"I wonder what impact, if any, tariffs will have on US FDI into Ireland. " It's really hard to know. The Tariffs will mainly effect US consumers. So it depends if they stop buying the products. There are currently a number of Phamra/Med companies in Ireland investing billions in new factories, right now. | |||

"Not trying to start a political discussion or argument If the EU and Trump put tarrifs on each other's products this Wednesday then how does it effect you in general Not talking about our exports but American products that you buy I can't think of one thing in my house that's American made apart from a bottle of Jack Daniels I've always assumed that their cars are shite so wouldn't buy one Anything else " I don't think I buy anything that's American made. I get the pharmaceutical products for most in Ireland would go up. Ford is widely solded here so that's gonna be a kick in the ass for anyone who prefers ford over other motor companies. | |||

But the cars are made in Europe anyway and it's a separate company to Ford USA as far as I remember | |||

Ford cars sold here are all manufactured in Europe so won't be affected here by tariffs, unless some of the parts come directly from the US. I don't think they do though. | |||

"As someone who works for an American multi national here I don't see things change in the short term, it's very hard to pick up a manufacturing plant and move it across the Atlantic. The US patients will still need the drugs, it's a case of who will pick up the extra cost, either the manufacturer or the patient (health insurance), I suspect it'll be the latter " I cant see manufacturers, distributors, or US importers taking a reduction in their margins to cover any of this, so it's going to passed on to end users/insurance companies. In the medium to shower term I guess it depends on what costs are involved in setting up US manufacturing and is the cost increase going to be more or less than the extra tariff cost. | |||

"Not sure about American made but American Brands I will not buy if Trump keeps fu*king around Polo Ralph Lauren Tommy Hilfiger Levis Wrangler Columbia North Face Merrell Sketchers Plenty of Europeans Brands to replace these" Think you will find that while these are American brands. They are probably made in Aisa of the Far East | |||

"There used to be a number of shops that only sold American sweets and chocolate and any I know of have closed because the big complaint was that they were too expensive. The owners argument was that you were paying for the Authentic American candy experience and initially lots were happy to do so. It was all bs though because they didn't source the products themselves. They bought them through companies such as the one I was working for at the time and they were no more expensive than products widely available such as Cadbury or Mars. " I always assumed they were shipped from the states at the prices they charged Robbing feckers I'd love to know how come Dubai chocolate is so expensive Is it because people are willing to pay €12.50 for a bar or is it more expensive to make  | |||

There's definitely more involved in making them the way they make them at least. They were taking on new staff as a result of the demand. Mad stuff! | |||

They aren't necessarily going to be more expensive though unless they are made in the US and shipped to Europe (which is unlikely in most cases). The USA is too expensive a place for most clothing manufacturers so they are usually made elsewhere. | |||

The USA is too expensive a place for most clothing manufacturers so they are usually made elsewhere. "So you think that we as European consumers should just allow the US to walk all over us. It's about personal choices. US companies deserted the US in their droves in the 70s, went to China for economic reasons, preached to is about the benefits of Capitalism, the New World Older,WEF and much more. Rather than sorting it's problems, Trump has decided to caua trade war, let's see what Wall St thinks over the next 4 weeks | |||

"If anyone really wants to boycott US business then I'd suggest starting with tech companies. Meta, Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft. Good luck with that!" 1000% Choosing to boycott products created by US businesses will mean you can basically throw away your smartphone, laptop, tablet etc. No more android, no more iPhone, no more windows. | |||
