New Vietnam trade deal means Apple will pay at least five times more in tariffs
I was wondering what the hell made this happen…
I've found the reason:

Of course, somebody is building a 1.5 billion dollar golf course…in Vietnam.Jesus Christ.

Kuminga said:Also again,
Just because Vietnam has 20 percent tariffs
it doesn't mean that is the number that will pass onto consumers
Amazon and Costco doesn’t have to buy from Vietnam at those tariffs , they can negotiate down the rate or tell them to absorb it or no more deal.Hahahahahahahahaha 😂
Just how naïve are you? “Then just negotiate better deals!” Hahahaha! That’s rich.Like making the best deals possible isn’t the whole basis of their financial structure, making them the most successful megacorps on Earth.Nah, take it from the guy who bankrupted several casinos. Of course Vietnam will be paying your American import taxes.Suuuuuuure.Meanwhile, the “$800” Moog Messenger Synthesizer unveiled last year is now a $900 synthesizer — while it costs the equivalent of $800 in the rest of the world.Funny how that works.

Well, Vietnam IS the $9 place Apple went to, after Tr*mp demanded a cut on everything bought from the old place that made it too expensive.Kuminga said:
Too much CNN bro…Wesley_Hilliard said:So Americans pay 20% to 40% more on all goods from Vietnam and people in Vietnam pay nothing. Good deal bro.
if a Pizza place suddenly wants to sell you a pizza for $12 , raising it from $9, are you forced to buy that pizza for $12 or you look for another place that sells it for $9 still?I suppose Apple can just find ANOTHER place, until the mafia steps in and demands a massive tax on that too, and then the next, and the next.This is going to cost American consumers billions, and the only reprieve is sucking off the golden muppet in hopes that he’ll pass an exemption.

The regulation is not just about phones.

That's not how laws work.lowededwookie said:I'd side with EU monopoly claims if the EU had companies that competed with Apple but they don't.
