Bloc’s 15% Tariff: Economic Power or Sticker Shock?
In a shocking turn of events, the bloc celebrated imposing a blanket 15% tariff as a stepping stone to challenging economic giants like the U.S. and China. Experts confirm this move is "a reality check on the aspirations of the bloc." One insider confessed, "Who knew 15% could feel like a mic drop in global economics?" Sources report that instead of crushing competition, some rivals just laughed harder, prompting the bloc to consider raising tariffs or maybe just sending sternly worded tweets.
