‘No room left for Mexico or Canada’ to make a deal, Trump says
U.S. President Donald Trump says his long-threatened trade war is going ahead with tariffs on Canadian goods set to take effect just after midnight and there’s nothing Canada can do to stop them.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said the United States has been “a laughingstock for years and years” and he needs to take trade action against its continental neighbours.
He said Canada has allowed fentanyl to flood into the U.S. despite data that shows the claim is false.
“Very importantly, tomorrow, tariffs, 25 per cent on Canada and 25 per cent on Mexico, and that will start. So, they’re gonna have to have a tariff,” Trump said.
yea, Tariffs suck for everyone, especially when applied unilaterally… however its the best weapon we have, a tit for tat.
I hope to see some SHARP tariffs, 100% of starlink and Teslas.
Unfortunately I think a tariff on starlink could hurt Canadians more with the number of rural areas with poor Internet. I could totally get behind a tesla tariff though, there’s plenty of other options there
Thats fair, Starlink is kind of irreplaceable for remote communities.
Ideally, we would tarriff starlink, and then use those and matching funds to build out municipal internet to these communities.
