Fair enough. We are imposing 88% on US imports. That's not reasobable at all.
True, but can Sri Lanka sustain that short period? That's what matters to us.Short term this will damage other economies. But in long run the other countries may try to reduce the reliance over US and find other markets this can damage the dollar dominance with time as the other countries may start trading with their own currencies
But US will be more independent from other countries for consumer goods![]()
If US exports drop by 50% that's a considerable amount of USD and there wll be recession on impacted sectors.It's a chain reaction.Anura kumara need to reduce trade deficit with US.True, but can Sri Lanka sustain that short period? That's what matters to us.

Yeah this is true . But mchn, if the taxes were to reduce on us imported goods, it will reduce the resistance to buy those by Sri Lankan consumers… will make a outflow of the only few dollars that we have in reserve and may deplete. And we will have to burrow again and bla blaI mean you don't need parliament approval to remove taxes on US products And isn't this the most educated Parliament we ever had.![]()
Yeah we don’t have any cards to or leverage as big countries like China, India, Canada etc… we might have to find a way through negotiation to survive…Finally someone with some sense.Us still is the world police.unstable economies will bring chaos to weak governments like SL.So do we want US kind of life style or more leftist kind of life style.
