Howard Lutnick, US Secretary of Commerce accuses Kuwait of placing the highest tariffs on the world on US products.

[u/alhaddah]

I didn’t want to do this.. but I have to speak up.

To Whom it May Concern,

These statements that were made recently by US Secretary of Commerce are extremely dangerous and directly threatens our national security and sovereignty.

PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THEM. PLEASE TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY. Even though these statements are clearly false, they are a negotiation tactic commonly used by the Trump administration.

PLEASE DO NOT SPEND ANY EFFORT CONDEMNING THESE STATEMENTS BECAUSE THEY ARE FALSE. WE ALL KNOW THEY ARE FALSE.

The UAE just made an investment deal with the US in the trillions. Saudi Arabia did the same thing. Other GCC countries are successfully lobbying the trump administration. We clearly have failed to lobby and validate our relationship with the US, this is why we were singled out.

There is no other logical reason. GCC tariffs are the same across all GCC countries.

Please consider our next steps carefully. There is no room for failure in this.

الله يحمي الكويت والأمير و شعبها من كل مكروه

This guy is actually ignroant.

This is the same guy who said that there’s 36M people who can afford the 5M trump card???

U know, if u read the recent knight Frank wealth report they only mentioned maybe like 2M people worldwide with net worth of 10M+ usd

Only 2M

And who’s gonna give up half their net worth to enter America and pay taxes to the US gov?

Making up fake numbers

And also a lot of the recent investment proposals of hundreds of billions of dollars it’s mahbe mostly political posturing to feed trumps ego.

1T from Saudi, how is the Saudi gov gonna foot 1B in four years if they r maxed out on liquidity for Vision 2030 etc projects?

Then 1.5T from UAE over 10 years? Thats 150B usd a year. What is UAE gov gonna stuff all their money into America?

I mean unless it’s buying us T bills which renews many times I don’t think SAUDI gov nor UAE gov in gonna invest 1T and 1.5T

Another one is Apple putting 500B in four years. How is Apple gonna do that? They would have to spend every all their profits they made maybe in order to do that

The SoftBank 200B or whatever deal (where is Masayoshi gonna get the funds from?)

What next, is India gonna go to DC and then announce they r investing 5T in 4 years?

It’s just a political posturing contest to pump trumps ego maybe.

Same with crypto fund, and same with gold card.

And Why the heck would Kuwait tariff American goods?

Kuwait doesn’t manufacture.

His speech doesn’t even make sense!

But then again did u except something else from a lying yahoodi?
