What does Trump’s tariff mean technology – and you

Katie Dramond: A very exciting promise by Howard Lootnick. I can’t wait to talk if any of this is already possible.

Michael Calor: Certainly not in the short term.

Lauren Jude: Was this at the same time that he talked about the millions of millions using small screws?

Katie Dramond: Oh, yes. Small small screws? Small small screws? Yes.

Lauren Jude: This was the person facing the nation CBS, and I think we all saw it.

Howard Lootnick (Archive Voice): The army of millions and millions of people who flow into small nails to make iPhone devices. This type of things will come to America.

Michael Calor: So Elon was tweeting through him. Perhaps Tim Cook was also sitting on Twitter and appeared some tweets inviting members of the various members of the White House consultant, right?

Lauren Jude: Tim Cook did not say anything publicly.

Katie Dramond: Let’s give this man some credit. It is very smart to do this. Apple is intelligence as they came, I expect to hear anything from them. To Lauren’s point earlier, I mean they are definitely this behind the scenes, but I expect it to be from the point of view of public optics, no comment, smooth sailing, etc.

Lauren Jude: Katie, I mentioned at the opening time, when we saw that picture of the technology executives who were in the audience, I think your note was Tim Cook it seems to want to vomit?

Katie Dramond: He was not fully cheerful with enthusiasm like some of his colleagues, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, etc. It seemed as if someone died, and his company may be based on what is happening now,

Michael Calor: Here is hope in the future. Well, let’s talk about one of the other people in that picture, Mr. Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon. Now, Amazon is not a company like Apple, but it deals with solid goods. So what do the customs duties of Amazon and their business mean?

Lauren Jude: Well, there is also, we should only notice, and our colleague, Zayi Yang covers this in WIRED as well, and there is something known as the exemption from e -commerce companies that ship the goods from China, and part of this new tariff package actually removes this exemption, which is not useful for e -commerce companies.

Michael Calor: This is if your goods cost less than $ 800?

Lauren Jude: I think so, yes.

Michael Calor: You don’t have to pay the huge import tax on it.

Lauren Jude: Yes. exactly.

Katie Dramond: This one is less clear to me, and I am pleased to argue around it or say it because I am wrong. This seems less magnificent for Amazon than it is for Elons of the World, his companies, apples and Tim. I mean Amazon’s dependence on Chinese goods sold on its platform, and I think it is not less than 50 percent. It is more than 50 percent of Amazon. But given Lauren what you just said, these Chinese trade giants will be severely beaten through these definitions, in some aspects that appear to be equal to the type of stadium with Amazon. Then it is clear that Michael, to your point of view, is not a company company. It is clear that it is a huge commercial company, but they also have the services of Amazon Web Services, and they have other aspects of their company, which you feel is isolated more than the kind of immediate effects of definitions. I mean, how does that sit with both of you?
