Hey @PrivateEyeNews please inform the Bio-waste Spreader this is total bullshit and untrue.

Uganda as a Least Developed Country is on 0% tariffs for all goods except weapons.

Thank you @eddwilson for bringing this to my attention.
@PrivateEyeNews @eddwilson Note Botswana and Namibia already export beef to the UK on 0% tariffs, but not through EBA, but via the EPAs they have with the EU.

All countries predominantly protect agriculture more than industrial products.

Compare EU with Switzerland which protects ag even more. Image

Food: 90% of food imports come into the UK on 0% tariffs already. Image

Even under a no-deal scenario, we're going to be keeping the tariffs on clothing quite high as shown here:

1/5
I couldn’t attend the climate change hustings in #Lewes last night, but I’ve heard a report of what happened.

Get this:

The incumbent Tory, @mariacaulfield didn’t attend claiming she was ‘busy’ and sent a surrogate in the form of a local Tory councillor at the last minute.
2/5
All candidates each gave an opening 4-minute statement. The Tory surrogate announced that she had not had sufficient time to peruse the questions and so would be leaving after making her statement. This prompted an audience member to shout out that she might we well go now.
3/5
Her statement said little if anything about what the Conservatives would do about climate change but complained that “you all hate us”.

At one point she said, “it’s on people, there’s no such thing as Government” which resulted in a shout of “Rubbish” from the audience.

New #tariffs on Chinese goods will hurt foreign companies’ investment confidence in #China and also force China-based manufacturers to relocate their factories to #Vietnam, #Thailand and #Malaysia, reports Jeff Pao. asiatimes.com/2019/08/articl…
The latest decision by United States President Donald Trump to add new tariffs on Chinese goods from next month will further weaken capital investments in China, some economists say.
On Thursday, US Trade representatives returned from Shanghai after talks with Chinese officials. On the same day in US time, Trump announced on Twitter that the US would add an additional tariff of 10% on the remaining US$300 billion of Chinese goods and products.

Leading economists and industry experts have long criticized Trump’s approach to trade, pointing out that tariffs are ultimately a tax on American businesses and consumers.

newsweek.com/trump-kudlow-a…
The White House's top economic adviser has admitted US businesses will suffer from #tariffs on Chinese goods, contradicting US President Donald Trump's widely denounced claim that it would only be China that pays.

aljazeera.com/amp/news/2019/…
And there are signs that things could soon get even worse: The Trump administration is considering upping tariffs on all of China’s remaining imports — about $300 billion worth of products.

Economists estimate trump's #TradeWar w/ China has already cost U.S. companies & consumers $19.2 billion.

Now U.S. retailers, to avoid drastic price increases in the U.S., purchase products from Tawain, South Korea, Vietnam, & Mexico (thread)

The trump #TradeWar is making #Vietnam a winner-- as "exports rose 12.4% in the 2nd half of 2018...outpacing the five biggest economies in SE Asia"

And co's like Xuan Hoa Vietnam Joint Stock Co. (furniture) have shifted operations from China to Vietnam.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Tawainese companies are also moving out of China to invest in their home country, making #Tawain a winner in the #TrumpTradeWar

#Total CEO Patrick Pouyanné: [#Trump's] announcement on #Iran clearly is pushing the price up. And I would not be surprised to see $100 per barrel in the coming months because, clearly, you will have some impacts. 
#Oil #IranDeal
csis.org/analysis/conve…
#Pouyanné: we know we are back to the situation we were before the 2016 agreement, and in the meantime #Iran has grown its exportation by 1 million barrel(s) per day. So this 1 million barrel(s) per day is in question today.
#IranDeal
#Total CEO Pouyanné: We have decided to look to that project in Iran because of the #JCPOA, which means end of secondary sanctions. As soon as the U.S. decide to put back in place the secondary sanctions, there is no possibility for us to be a major company, a global company.
