Trump is imposing a new tariff on Canada, just 24 hours after he announced he was pausing the 25% tariff on most imports.
Hi, Canada here.
This IS an act of unprovoked economic war.
You are NOT our friends anymore.
Not sure what your problem with us was, but message received, loud and clear.
We’re going to go drink with Mexico and Europe now.
Not sure what your problem with us was,
It’s very kind and Canadian of you to think it was anything you did. You’re just unfortunate enough to exist next to us.
We are now (now?) the proverbial abusive narcissist.
Hi Canada,
I will miss you. I hope, someday, after we take down this thug, we can be friends again.
Sincerely,
California
PS: I would also accept adoption, should you ever want to go there.
This makes me think he’s bad at business
We already knew that.
In other news Trump threatens to huff and puff and blow their house down.
The onion / not the onion / whatever man
Larger scale trades factor in risk. Even if this one is just for Canada, and even if it only lasts as long as the orange stain, the damage done goes far beyond and will take decades to fix.
The US election system cannot be trusted to produce stable governance required for trade and other agreements. Most Americans (less likely the ones on lemmy), are not aware of just how poorly the US is viewed, and how far behind it appears to be on almost every aspect of society.
It saddens me, because most Americans are good people.
This will genuinely have very little impact on Canada. Very little of our dairy is exported but it makes Trump look like he’s the big tough man with the big peepee to his base I guess.
I feel like it should be noted in the title that it refers exclusively to dairy products, and is in response to Canada’s variable tariff on American dairy that can go as high as 250%. This makes it sound like he wants to impose a blanket 250% tariff on Canadian goods for no reason, and that’s just not the case
Noted, and added. Headline was pulled from the URL, I didn’t want to editorialize, but this is a good point.
Huh. Well, that’s a nice feature Reddit doesn’t have. Ability to correct post headlines.
Someone needs to embargo and blockade this dude’s two remaining brain cells.
Brave assumption he has 2 to begin with.
They are both in use to keep him standing at that weird angle
Sorry Americans, here goes your main source of dairy products that weren’t produced with questionable hormones.
Yeah, our untainted cow milk may be cut off, but on the upside, we are swimming in the production of bull shit
