    the president said the Chinese prices were “unfairly low” due to the government subsidising companies “who don’t need to worry about making a profit”.

    “They’re cheating,” Mr Biden said. “And we’ve seen the damage here in America.”

    Socialism is cheat code

      If this is cheating then surely you will cut subsidies for big oil and dairy farmers, right??

        I was gonna say exactly the same thing. Also american farmers have corn subsidized, which destroys Mexico’s corn market. Hypocrites.

          That’s just the beginning of it. USA pushes every global south country to cut agricultural subsidies on the grounds that they are violations of some WTO agreement. The policy changes that caused the famous year-long farmers’ protest in India were supported by the US because they would have significantly cut government aid to farmers and farm owners.

      Hear me out. US bourgeoisie is essentially British aristocrats who knew when to keep quiet and when to speak up. They’ve been upset since that interview where the Chinese diplomat laughs at the idea that China is in competition with Britain. One or more of them has convinced Biden to increase tariffs to make the Brits feel better – at least they’ll be able to say that they compete with the US in steel production.

    What a fucking loser that KKKumSSKKKin Biden is. He sure is doing great with the economy, more tariffs on China. I mean, the metal companies are so prosperous in AmeriKKKa, in comparison with those ebil commies in China with their metal companies. I hope that AmeriKKKa will fall one day, and be assigned to the future history books.

    Death to AmeriKKKa.

    spoiler

    I was being sarcastic with the economy of AmeriKKKa, fuck them.
