SINGAPORE: The Progress Singapore Party (PSP) on Wednesday (Apr 9) called on the government to secure a new trade deal with the United States in response to sweeping new tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump last week.

Such discussions may include “making adjustments to internal policies or making strategic investments in the US”, said PSP secretary-general Leong Mun Wai in a Facebook post.

Trump is a moron who doesn't understand Tariffs. Sure, if the tariff makes imports more expensive, the exporting countries will probably sell less to the US. BUT, the US citizens/residents will pay MORE for the goods they need. So a microwave oven that used to cost $100, would now cost $130 or more. And the common folk will have to pay that price.
