As expected, Canada quickly caves on electricity tariff

[pknopp]

He has the right to do exactly that.

Sure he does. He has done it his entire spoiled life.

No one ever said TRUMP! is not impulsive or not prone to outbursts. That's one reason why I wouldn't want to either work for him or live with him.

Wonderful attributes for a president I suppose.

Canada to impose 25% retaliatory tariffs on $21 billion worth of U.S. goods​

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/12/canada-tariffs-steel-aluminum-trump-computers.html

Canada said Wednesday it will impose 25% tariffs on more than $20 billion worth of U.S. goods in retaliation for the Trump administration’s steel and aluminum duties that took effect overnight.

The new tariffs cover steel and aluminum, as well as other U.S. goods including computers, sports equipment and cast iron products, Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc said at a press conference.

They will take effect Thursday, LeBlanc said.

The new Canadian duties are on top of the 25% counter-tariffs that Ottawa slapped on $30 billion worth of U.S. goods on March 4, in response to President Donald Trump’s imposition of broad-based tariffs on Canadian imports.

Those tariffs remain in place, despite Trump issuing partial tariffs exemptions on March 6 following a severe stock market sell off.

Canada has charged tariffs on American goods for decades. Have you always been a supporter of that?

It was all a part of a negotiated trade deal. As for me, I'm generally not supportive of trade deals. Government shouldn't be directing how people trade.

Sure he does. He has done it his entire spoiled life.

The are personality characteristics that don't reduce his effectiveness as president. Hey, at least you guys don't have to be worried about being wounded by mean tweets.

You know the tariffs haven't been in place long enough for the inflation to filter in to the data, right?

You do know that Trump put tariffs on in his first term and prices actually came down, right?

Covid did that.

 

[Independent thinker]

Covid did that.

LOL. Trump became president in January 2017 and put tariffs on. No price rises. Covid came in like December 2019.

 

[marvin martian]

If there is any actual evidence Canada is "ripping us off" please present it.

So you support the Canadian tariffs on American goods? The ones going back 100 years or more?

Prices were going up.

Trade Fight Widens as Europe and Canada Retaliate Against Trump Tariffs​

Global trade turmoil deepened on Wednesday as the European Union and Canada announced billions of dollars in retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports, hours after President Trump’s across-the-board levies on steel and aluminum imports took effect. Economists worry that the trade fight instigated by Mr. Trump will over time dent economic growth and lift U.S. consumer prices, which rose slightly less than expected in February, according to inflation data released Wednesday.

Mr. Trump has appeared undeterred by the uncertainty and fear that his tariffs, targeted at friends and foes alike, have injected into the global economy, rattling markets around the globe. He has not ruled out the possibility that his policies could cause a recession in the United States.

No they weren't. I looked inflation rates up. Trump's highest was a 2.3. He also had a 2.1, and two 1.9's.

 

[Mac-7]

These were tariffs that Trump had previously negotiated.

And now its time to negotiate again

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Even after this, the cult will not understand what Trump is doing with his tariff announcements. This is how you get people to the table without rolling over, exposing your belly, and begging for mercy, i.e. the way Obama and Biden "negotiated" everything.

On to the next one you people won't understand.
