The First of Many – Vietnam Negotiates Zero Tariff Policy

April 5, 2025 | Sundance1/2

On March 27th, CTH shared the following:“Wealthy nations will attempt to maintain exports against President Trump tariffs by subsidizing their industries. Corporations have deeper pockets, and the politicians are used to the bribes, we call it “lobbying.” Therefore, the government responds by subsidizing the corporations [ie. the WEF business model].

How does the politics of opposition surface? …”Canada will subsidize their export industries, Germany will subsidize their auto industry, the EU will provide subsidies to their manufacturing powerhouses, and China will once again start subsidizing their manufacturing industry. Each of these nations will in turn, eventually, devalue their currency.

However, poorer nations will be faster to lower import tariffson USA goods because they have lower lobbying (bribe) income from corporations to govt. That’s what we should expect to see.” [LINK]

With the tariffs now triggered, it begins exactly as anticipated:

The economics of the thing is now colliding with the politics and the ideology, of the thing. Globalists are being confronted. The proverbial West will cleave according to their financial self-interest.

The World Economic Forum(Build Back Better)model no longer views the USA as an ally.TheMAGAnomic “Big Ugly” is underway.

Countries will thrash and gnash their teeth; then surge in opposition,fail, then attempt to refoot and realign,then surge again and fail again.

And so it will go…

In 2019 Asia (ASEAN) was aligned as China was being confronted.The EU was the intended target for President Trump’s trade resetin term two as scheduled (2021-2025). However, COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting 2020 election threw a wrench in the plan.

In 2025 the EU focus is now a priority.ASEAN nations quickly reassemble on the original terms of Trump T-1. For Trump T-2, China is quickly moved back into adversarial position and focus returns to the previously scheduled look at Europe.

Yes, the EU understand the agenda; they know what was planned then and put aside.In Trump T-2 there is no avoidance mechanism that can be deployed. The only play the EU has is defense.

Europe is currently trying to arrange and coordinate a group of ideological allies to assist them. Those allies include Canada and to a lesser extent, Mexico.President Trump has shown a keen awareness of their best defense.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will not battle Donald J Trump. Factually,they all aligned their economic investment policy to gain from Trump confronting China. ASEAN countries will not battle President Trump; they will comply.

Africa will try to walk a fine line between China and the USA.However, Africa will not confront President Trump directlyand, if push comes to shove, they will likely not support China using their belt-and-road leverage to attempt transnational shipping as a tool for U.S tariff avoidance.[Insert a Trump-favorable Russia into this regional dynamic.]

It is the EU and the workaround relationships they created within Mexico and Canada who will fight the global trade reset with ferocity. Everything in thegeopolitical world of economic oppositionto President Trumpwill center around Europe.

PARIS, April 3 (Reuters) – French President EmmanuelMacroncalled on Thursday forEuropean companies to suspendplanned investment in the United States after U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping global tariffs on American imports.

“Investments to come orinvestmentsannounced in recent weeksshould be suspendeduntil things are clarified with the United States,” Macron said during a meeting with French industry representatives. (Macron would rather harm France’s already failing economy, to try to harm Trump & America.Everything he does is a competition with Trump, the problem with this is first the French people hate him, many of EU countries dislike him, and he has ruined France with Muslim illegals.Trump calls Macron a “wise guy”, because he is one of the leaders of the EU Mafia)

The comments come weeks after Frenchshipping firm CMA CGM announced plans to invest $20 billionin the U.S. to build shipping logistics and terminals, a plan that was hailed by President Trump at the time and mentioned again in his Wednesday speech unveiling the tariffs.

French electrical equipment supplierSchneider Electric(SCHN.PA) said late last month itwould invest $700 millionin the country to support U.S. energy infrastructure to power AI growth. (more)

The EU judicial and intelligence serviceshit Marine Le Pen for a reason.

Canada – Mark Carney, France – Macron, Ukraine – Zelenskyy, the EU Commission and Ursula Von der Leyen, all the way through NATO and into the German/Romanian elections and beyond,it’s all connected to the geopolitical dynamics of money, power and globalist economics.

Stay elevated. Keep watching.President DonaldTrump is a master at the big picture stuff.

[ps. PresidentTrump assignedevery single one of those countryspecific tariff rates personally. Few understand why.]

My theory:

Always remember Trump had planned this for his second term during his first term; then he miraculously received 4 uninterrupted years 2021-2024 (somewhat) to refine it to perfection.

He found and recruited the biggest and brightest minds on all things economics, all the people at the top of their class in every area of money, economy, tariffs and fair trade,worked with him for the final design of his Masterpiece. Due to this, Trump and Team sketched out every possible act of revenge the EU and all other countries would use against America and our economy, which it was and is; Trump and Team, planned like it war planning, all the possible ways to defeat the enemy. All of these advisors were experts in their facet of economics. And how to start the war that must be won for America to survive and thrive for centuries to come.

President Donald Trump’s decision to put tariffs on billions of dollars in Chinese imports last year shocked the world – but he's taken a similarly aggressive stance on trade for decades. (He had thought about this for at least 40 years)

Young Donald Trump predicts Joe Biden in 1980 interview

Sky News host Rowan Dean says Donald Trump is a “clairvoyant” after an old video of the former president resurfaced, labelling many politicians as having “no great brain but a big smile”.

In an interview with Rona Barrett from 1980, Mr Trump expressed that he would not like to be president in the future.

“The most capable people are not necessarily running for political office, and that is a very sad commentary on the country,” Mr Trump said.

“Somebody with strong views, and somebody with the kind of views that are maybe a little bit unpopular, which may be right, but may be unpopular, wouldn’t necessarily have a chance of getting elected against somebody with no great brain but a big smile.”

Sky News host James Morrow questioned, “how on earth” did Donald Trump know he would be running against Joe Biden.

Lukashenko tells Belarus officials to self-fund ‘mistresses’

State money allocated to support athletics must be spent properly, the country’s president has declared

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko hascalled for the exclusion of personal expenses from state funds earmarked for promoting sports. Instead, he has urged top government officials to fund their “mistresses”with their own money.

Speaking on Friday at a meeting focused on support for physical culture and sports organizations, the Belarusian leader told officials to report on various issues, including oversight of state funds allocated to national sports clubs and federations.

“I want to warn you, guys, it’s not hard these days to track how this money is being spent – and we will track it,”Lukashenko cautioned.

“But I want to say, man to man,that you should support your family, loved ones, mistresses, or anyone else with your own money. That will be the right thing to do – both humanely and manfully,” the president added, noting that officials can earn money wherever they want.

Lukashenko expressed hope that his comments would prompt officials to draw the right conclusions.

“The real question is: how fairly– and more importantly, how responsibly – are clubs managing these funds? Or are they just blindly using them? What exactly are the finances being spent on?” he asked.

Combating corruption was one a key theme of Lukashenko’spresidential campaign ahead of an election held in January. In early February, the Central Election Commission declared the 70-year-old politician the winner with 86.82% of the vote. None of the other candidates received more than 5%.

In December, upon appointing Ruslan Chernetsky as Minister of Culture, the Belarusianleader expressed dissatisfaction with the state of the country’s film industry.

“I just want to say man-to-man, Ruslan – you have no other choice: either die, or bring order to the sector,”Lukashenko said at the time.

(Lukashenko’s way of stopping corruption, seems effective. Can you imagine if President Trump said that to an appointee, it would be funny in a way)
