Peter Navarro says Vietnam’s 0% tariff offer is not enough: ‘It’s the nontariff cheating that matters’
The examples of nontariff "cheating" cited by Navarro included Chinese products routed through Vietnam, intellectual property theft and a value-added tax.
White House trade advisor Peter Navarro said Monday that an offer by Vietnam to eliminate tariffs on U.S. imports would not be enough for the administration to lift its new levies announced last week.
“Let’s take Vietnam. When they come to us and say ‘we’ll go to zero tariffs,’ that means nothing to us because it’s the nontariff cheating that matters,” Navarro said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
Let this be a lesson to every other country...it doesn't matter what you do to appease these assholes. They're going to do it anyway, so you might as well fight back. You have so much more to lose by giving in.
Cheating is such a broad term, does he mean cheating like Trump did on many of his wives, cheating at golf, cheating in elections, cheating on tax returns, cheating on business appraisals, I mean, there are so many types of cheating, what is he referring to?
Just magically develop bone spurs and you can get out of this, Vietnam
Cheating like inventing an economics expert that’s just an anagram of your last time to attest that your tariff plan for America is just the greatest, number one plan of all time and we should do it
Is the non-tarrif cheating in the room with us? Is it proven by the same people who proved voter fraud?
Was it Peter Navarro or trade expert Ron Vara?
We shall forever call this maneuver of his the Retro Van Rape. Yeah, that has a nice ring to it.
Vietnam needs to say they'll ditch their VAT, if the US and all its states get rid of sales tax. Fairs, fair
