Trump tariffs & tool prices

[worker]

Trump has announced he wants to apply tariffs to China, Canada & Mexico. Putting the politics aside, do you think it will have an impact on tool prices in the UK? I think it's fair to say applying tariffs can end up with unintended consequences.

I've always eyed up Lie-Nielsen planes but hesitated, maybe this is the perfect excuse to make the jump.

And China, Canada and Mexico have replied with 'Come on if you think you're hard enough'

. Putting the politics aside,

You’ll be lucky

As for buying tools I’ve always bought the best I could afford working on the premise if I come to sell them they will hold there value, now I only own one Lie Nielsen plane but judging by it’s current price for once I was right.

LOL

Trump: "Tariffs, blah blah."
Mexico: "Come at me, bro!"

No one wins when there are trade wars, it just pushes up prices for everyone so again we seem to revert to some form of war rather than become more competative to try and level up the playing field.

No one really knows how this will play out.

It’s unlikely in my opinion that the price of LN planes will go down as a result of Trump introducing tariffs so if you want an excuse you’ve got one.

It doesn't matter a jot what the world does, UK prices will keep going up.
