39% on agricultural imports from the US.

Lee Kuan Yew referred to Europe as "fort Europa" for a reason many decades ago..



We don’t want a race to the bottom when it comes to agricultural products. American products are cheap but they suck. Ours are better but more expensive. Making American crap expensive is good for us. That’s a good use of tariffs: avoiding flooding the market with inferior products at the cost of local made.


Most countries have tariffs on the US. The media would have us believe Americans are the first ones to ever do it.
