I don’t understand why we need to care about the tariffs into the USA. We have the lowest tariffs rate, and we have a trade surplus with the USA.

It just means that other countries can trade with the USA via Singapore. People will set up factories in Singapore so they can do some light touch up before sending them to the USA as made in Singapore goods. It will benefit Singapore greatly.

The major exporting economies all got high tariffs. It will mean that the USA demand for their goods will drop due to higher prices. This means higher supply which will result in lower prices for the rest of us who are not USA.

No idea why everyone in singapore is waving their hands around.

The main impact is the slowdown of global trade.

Our GDP is projected to be 0-2% this year.

After factoring in inflation, it means we have flat or negative growth.

May need some economics reforms first… Sinkies SGD is now too strong and almost got addicted to strong SGD, it is not good for exporting and too expensive to produce things here. :ROFLMAO:

Most useless taskforce in the history of mankind

1st task : Monitor
2nd task : Appear Confident & say confident things
3rd task : Wait for Trump to remove Tariffs or Leave the whitehouse
4th task : Claim credit or Shift blame depending on the outcome
After they got in, they'd have solved the tariff issue for themselves. All they need to do is to tell the rest they're monitoring. :crazy:

not pro Govt.. but not pro opposition either.. I'm not sure how anyone from the opposition can solve the tariffs situation either.. need good economics sense and very good eloquent plus much charms to negotiate with the Americans..I don't see how a grab driver, or a property agent can do that.. while I admire their loyalty and courage to want to make a difference but we need good candidates to represent us

First time hear this from hardcore PAP supporter ... I think PAP is in for a roller coaster.
Usually hardcore PAP supporter very proud to say PAP all the way one..

*correct me if i'm wrong : From my experience, last time is pretend to be OPPO but vote for PAP

He's a eat inside crawl outside guy

The task force will not be working for the next 3 weeks for sure.
They need one more week to rest.

The main problem is we don't see that in the so-called elites party as well.
