It's more of an attack on their liberal government which will probably get out voted next year anyways. Trumps spiel has been that there is an imbalance between their exports vs imports. The thing is China has the rest of the world they can do business with. There's methods to defeat the purpose of tariffs. One of them is devaluation of currency which you already see happening throughout the world as a result of US threatening tariffs and trade sanctions.
The dollar is already way up as it is. It will go up further which will help me and anyone that makes dollars and spends Pesos it will make american shyt even less attractive to buy overseas.

The airports and Fed Ex is gonna make a grip off of me as I buy more US shyt here and have it sent to Colombia.

Colombian consumers are gonna buy even more chinese made shyt.

How Canada in the same boat as china
They literally right there. I think they said trump was blasting “ they not like us” after he won:dead:

I don’t understand why Trump would be so abusive to a close partner country. Doesn’t seem like him at all!

You cats don't get it at all :francis:

The US is trying to rebuild its industrial base by putting down ANYONE, including allies. It does not matter.

Europeans are gonna feel it too.

The China threat is too big for the US to play nice.

It started with Biden and the IRA...

You don’t seem to understand basic supply and demand.

Americans especially native born americans will not work for wages that are competitive with overseas wages.

This is not about making lives better for americans.
This is about concentrating the western industrial base in the US, at any cost.
What do you think the IRA is about? Germany is already crying about its factories going to the US...

This will force those nations to seek new markets out, or expand the ones they already have..

America's middle class is close to 300 million people, which has a great consumer buying power but Asia has a massive and growing middle class that will take the focus from America eventually.

what does this mean for us canadian brehs :lupe:
guess our auto industry is dead right?

If this goes thru, he may have screwed over the Canadian auto industry big time. And since Canada is the US's primary source for crude oil, gasoline is about to go up 20% or so.

America has been producing a lot of oil but again Canada is an american market if they shifted to buying european and chinese that’s even less people for the US to sell to.

If the Uke war ends all that Uke grain comes back on the market and the Middle East and Africa doesn’t need US grain either and since Trump would be opposed to giving it away and against ethanol the farm states are gonna feel it.

China already been buying up Brazilian soybeans not US soybeans

There are exclusions granted for the tariffs. Last time Trump did this, exclusions were given to companies whose executives donated to the GOP. Part of the inflation we see now are companies raised prices with no oversight, then got exclusions and don't lower prices. It happened during covid and it will happen again. Get ready for inflation 2.0 And the greatest transfer of wealth continued.

If there is anything you need repaired…. Do it now

Any items you want to buy (Especially TECH)…. Do it now

its gonna be 4 years of struggle, :francis:
