    Well all your American made cars just got more expensive. GM and Ford both do most of their manufacturing in Mexico.

    Weirdly Hyundai, Kia and Subaru all manufacture cars domestically. So foreign cars are now the cheaper option.

    What's the point of even humoring his "negotiations" if he's just going to turn around a few weeks later and apply tariffs anyway?

    Geez, at least they had a sense of style and pose back then. The ding dongs we have now look like they just got out of class and are heading to the cafeteria to make fun of the foreign exchange students.

    its been incredibly easy as a canadian to not buy american goods, which in all honesty, are of far lower quality than canadian goods. or goods from most other countries.

    Tomorrow: Dumbass announces 25% tariff on EU and Mexico.

    Day after that: Dementia patient announces 35% tariff on EU and Mexico.

    Day after that: Pedophile says tariff talks are two weeks away from deal with EU and Mexico.

    Day after that: Rapist announces 30% tariff on EU and Mexico.

    Like a child throwing a tantrum. No plan, no subtlety, just pissing and shitting themselves and throwing that piss-laden shit at the wall in the hopes that they can get the toy you told them they can't have.

    Then trump threatens new tarrifs?

    (I'm struggling to find new sources,. cause everything is about dropping the DST to allow further trade talks. Not the timeline of DST dropping and the further US tariffs. Maybe these are coincidental, maybe there was always gonna be more Canadian tariffs. Either way, it doesn't matter. Canada got more blanket tariffs regardless of what they did. Speaks volumes to everyone else dealing with trump)

    Trump is destabilising international trade. This doesn't benefit the US. At all.

    I don't get this. Why are so many countries willing to play Trump's game? It seems a horrible long-term strategy to allow one country to hold global trade hostage this way. Shouldn't we negotiate between ourselves, i.e., between the affected countries?

    The idea should be: for us, exports of X, Y, and Z are taking a hit, and for you A, B, and C. So, let's lower our tariffs in these respective areas to soften the blow to the affected industries. That way, we would partly make up for, say, lost exports to the US for cars, at the cost of additional competition on the domestic market for, say, soy beans; and vise-versa; evening out the effects as best we can.

    With such agreements in place, we can return to Trump from a stronger position and say: we are willing to negotiate, but not under threat. We will do nothing until US tariffs are back to the levels before this started. But, at that point, we will be happy to discuss the issues you appear to see with trade inbalances and tariffs, so that we can find a mutual beneficial agreement going forward.

    Something like this would send a message that would do far more good towards trade stability for the future.

    I would opt for jail but that's pretty much a death sentence(if that's the way things are still). Personally, I think fascist plus kid fucker should equal a long torture period before the death.

    I'm pretty sure there's already a gambling website around where you can bet how long these announcements last. Could't find one on o quick google search, but I'm quite sure there is one.
