So from the conservative viewpoint, what is the rationale for the tariffs? Are people really supposed to believe it has something to do with fentanyl? Like do conservatives actually believe that or is there some other narrative besides Donald Trump is looking to flex his power?
honestly countries affected should just go the nuclear route and embargo the US. in retaliation. Canada especially.
Yes it will fuck both sides, but it'll get the point across these tariffs are stupid
Personnaly I would put a mirror tarrif. Tax the stuff going out to USA. Canadian economy will slow down, don't make life more expensive for Canadians. And that way Americans might notice it faster if they pay 50 percent more.
The problem here, specifically, is that once imported items go up in price, there needs to be regulations that blocks local manufacturers from just upping their prices to match. Otherwise the imported items are still a viable purchase and tariffs will not work as a counter measure.
Does this break/invalidate the existing free trade agreements between the countries? Does this mean that NAFTA and TRUMPFTA are now void?
I don't think it's void exactly - there's some stuff around visas that's still active. But yeah, as far as being a trade agreement it's pretty worthless.
Hopefully this trade war doesn't devolve into an actual war....
Possibly why he decided not to tax energy.
10% instead of 25% on the US side.
Talk about working to lower prices 🤥
Ah, so America will hardly notice.
How long does it take to reach the US? Couple months?
Why does this say 25 per cent instead of 25 percent?
That's just how it's spelled in some places, namely large parts of Canada. Which is likely where this article is from considering the website has Toronto in the name and is talking about the prime minister of Canada.
25 per hundred. 25/100. 25 per centum.
It means you pay 2500 on the dollar. Get tariffed bitch
Didn't he resign?
Once his party picks a new leader, yes.
As an American, I'm rooting for Canada.
But this all feels very by design of Putin to fracture US alliances.
both Canadian and American retirement portfolios will suffer. i don't know why anyone would root for such a thing at all
Trump started it, now is not the time to think how this is bad. You need to choose a side and act accordingly with countermeasures, which will likely escalate further.
I honestly think Putin is too busy throwing millions of young citizens into his meat grinder to give a shit about the USA at this point.
You would be surprised what people have time to think about while browsing their phone on the throne.
If you think Ukraine consumes 100% of his thoughts then you are not giving puttin enough credit. He isn't infamous because he is dumb, he is infamous because he is cunning, underhanded, and brutal in what he does.
