Trump falls back. Tariffs on mexico and canada paused for 30 days.

[UpAndComing]

I don't get why you would put tariffs on your national neighbors that border you anyway. Wouldn't common sense be to form an alliance for North America and to tariff countries overseas?

Mobster tactics..his tarrifs are actually shake downs.

America needs Steel and Aluminum or there's no economy..that's the backbone of industry and tarrifs on those vital materials from Canada will be paid by US industry and ultimately the US consumer.

I think Trump sees the US losing its influence and power in the world and he's trying to regain it by enforcing existing US power and influence to sway or frighten other nations into being Americas bytch..it's a form of colonialism actually.

So it’s a backdoor tariff on Canada, implemented with no prior notice because he just learned not to just say he is tariffing Canada outright. I am sure everyone will be fooled because no one will be able to see through his subterfuge to recognize this is just a backdoor tariff of Canada….

Especially the Canadians… they won’t put 2 and 2 together. No way.

So it’s a backdoor tax on Canada he just learned not to just say he is taxing Canada on everything

Canada won't pay the tax, American industry will initially..then pass the tax onto you the consumer.
Everyone told him it's retarded economics to try hurt foreign countries by taxing at the border but he won't listen..

Yeah, he's using the threat of tariffs in order to force nations to the negotiating table so that America can get a stellar deal... or so he can act like a previously agreed upon deal was his idea.

he's a bytch.

The emergence of BRICS has him shook..

He's now using America's existing global boogeyman reputation to try scare less militarized nations to bow down and take it right in the ass..business as usual.
He's basically using tactics similar to how France fukked the Sahel by giving them slave rates for their raw materials.

Trump is putting 25% tariffs on steel. Which is gonna affect Canada and Mexico. Since that’s there largest importers lol

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

I'm cool with ~70% of Americans. I will *never* go back. But if I run into one of you here in Canada or while travelling abroad I'll gladly buy you a beer. Unless they're wearing a MAGA hat ofc

Correct. America was great because it had a stable, business-friendly government. It has neither stability nor business-friendly going for it now.

You are welcome to come to Canada ! Our currency is lower by 29 percent so come on over! And it is safe , less security and great food and Canadian wines !

Canadians always welcome our American neighbours and other world visitors ! I visited eight states in the USA and enjoyed it too. Now I will stay away for 4 years
Love Americans not the regime

Not only will you no longer see Canadians traveling to the US, but we are also boycotting US goods. It has only just begun. Give it a few more weeks or months of this to really see and feel the pain.Elbows up!

Talk to all the Canadians who aren’t going to Florida for spring break.

I think there are a lot of maga who believe they won’t be hurt by this trade war but are about to find out otherwise

The problem is too many rank and file MAGAz live off of government pay cheques-police, military, veterans, disabled, seniors, and at all levels of government. It’s kinda obscene actually …so they won’t feel the hit their regular working neighbours take directly.

I live in NW MT and this area relies heavily on tourism from Canadians who are now cancelling their plans to visit this summer.

The anti-American sentiment that is taking hold around the world will have devastating effects for years, if not decades, to come.

When companies start tightening their belts a lot of others lose also. This is one of the factors that fuels a recession runaway.

Business is bad, businesses spend less which makes business worse.

I have a friend who lives in Palm Beach and has a little house on Treasure Island that she has offered me if I want a little vacation. I even have the use of one of her cars, but I refused, I will go to Europe and pay a lot more rather than spend a cent in the US right now.

The ideal thing would be to form the counter BRICS and show its beneficial to click up with us. BRICS is a shyt show intself so its more so being shook from the principal of it
