How concerned should we be about the new US tariffs?

James O’Brien2026-07-24T02:55:21.000Z

Another tariff? Bloody hell, just when we thought the last lot were bad enough.

Kai Thompson2026-07-24T03:04:21.000Z

Bit of a worry for our exporters. But guess that's what happens when you tie your economy so much to the US.

Will this increase the price of avocados? Asking for a friend...

Hayden Kelly2026-07-24T04:16:21.000Z

mate, it's the avocado toast crowd that's to blame

Blake Turner2026-07-24T03:42:21.000Z

ffs not this again. Trump's tariffs are just a money grab for his mates.

Kai Thompson2026-07-24T04:15:21.000Z

yes, the classic 'it's complicated' excuse while nothing changes

RNZ2026-07-24T03:58:21.000Z

Actually, these tariffs are a targeted retaliation for our stance on digital services tax. Unsurprising, but concerning.

James O’Brien2026-07-24T04:49:21.000Z

stuffed. We should have diversified years ago instead of sucking up to America.

Peyton Hall2026-07-24T04:17:21.000Z

I'm just a bit stressed about what this means for jobs. Small businesses can't keep absorbing these hits.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-24T04:39:21.000Z

Lol the government will just blame National and do nothing as usual

Hayden Kelly2026-07-24T04:54:21.000Z

Yep, typical. Meanwhile my mate's dairy company is already looking at cutting staff.

Sam North2026-07-24T05:11:21.000Z

Can we stop pretending the US is a reliable trading partner? Diversify already.

NZ Herald2026-07-24T05:54:21.000Z

then who else would buy our lamb? 😂
