Tariffs on Mexico and Canada

[Mortis]

~~~~~~
You're a step behind... Ellen bought a place in the Cotswolds, UK, and Oprah is talking about going bacj to her African roots and thatched huts on the Savanah in lion land.

This is one of the many reasons why these Democrats/Leftists don't do their research. They make stuff up!
If they knew that Ellen and her gf left to the UK, this conversation wouldn't be happening.

As for Oprah, I think she should just go away. I don't care where. Just go away already!

The U.S. can't secure 5,000 miles of its borders if neighboring countries continue to allow its invasion.

We have plenty of machine guns and land mines don't worry about it.

And this will only drive up the cost of living further when the additional costs are passed on to consumers.

Another American was MOWED DOWN by a filthy Biden illegal crossing in a crosswalk. Mangled, nearly all his bones broken. He suffered then later died in front of his wife. What's that costing us?

So, you have a cost limit when it comes to your kids or grandkids?

Naw, he's bluffing. How is he going to approve the XL pipeline and then hit his own oil companies with a 25% tariff?.. He's bluffing. He will hit China and Europe. Why would he hit Csnada only to have the tariffs removed in four years time when he is out of office? China is the palatable threat and he knows it. The rest of the world he can hit with a reciprocal tariffs but if he hits Canadian oil, nickel and such, he is only hurting the U.S. It's different from hitting an end product manufactured outside the U.S. He would be tariffing the underlying materials that his new manufacturiing companies wll need in order to manufacture. We will see. I have to say I would feel comfortable sitting in a room and convincing him. Mexico has a.FAR more difficult task. For Canada it would be easy if anyone with a strong understanding of both nations challenges heads up the team.

No, I meant I'd believe he's bluffing. He just makes up shit off the top of his head and MAGA idiots hang on every word he says even though he contradicts himself all over the place.

Canada may be a small fry in some ways, but it has a very long border with the US that has over 100 POE's through which truckloads of illegal drugs cross into the US. This considerable drug trade originates in Chian, but Canada's lax enforcement of the drug trade allows it into the US. This has to change.

Well, it's not easy to defend such a border I'm sure. I don't know anything about this really but I presume that these people are going in the middle of the night via various routes and the costs to cover every foot of land would be excessive.

It sounds like a convenient excuse to blame Canada when at the U.S/Mexico border you are openly allowing them into your country to poison and take jobs. If not for this lax position over the last four years, people wouldn't get the wrong idea in Canada about the ease in which they can walk into the U.S.

In that vein, how many terrorists from the M.E or spies from Asia have you allowed to literally walk into your country from Mexico? Hell, your border guards help them out, they have an app to coordinate a walk over and then take a flight to luxury hotels in NY. Few of these people fleeing persecution. I can say with a straight face that I've experienced worse persecution than 98% of these people.

I'm not abdicating Canadas role in this process, but again, we truly are small fries. Some even argue that many in the U.S are trying to get over here due to their insane reaction after Trumps victory.

I'm going to apply to the federal government, to hell with this. I'm getting too old to be shy. Let me advise Canada about why the U.S elected Trump and rejected the Establishment. You can be sure this is the weakness that too many have and the bias is even worse in Europe. In Germany, the public had a poll and something along the lines of 85% wanted Harris to win.

I mean, the District of Columbia is basically the border to border of many of these European socialist nations.

That is exactly why

I'd believe it. He does that all the time.

Bluffing! That's what you do when you play foreign policy poker. Then again I don't think that Trump is bluffing. All it takes is one country to call him on the threat and we'll all find out soon enough.

How is that working out?

Illegal immigrants and drugs aren't coming from Canada. You know what comes from Canada? Oil. Water. Electricity. Wood for homes and furniture. Food. Your ignorance is stupifying.

Trump can't count to six.

Trump to impose 25% tariff on products from Mexico and Canada, an additional 10% on China. If your country allows illegals to cross your country to get into the U.S. or drugs to come into your country to get into the U.S. Buckle up buttercup.

“On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders,” he wrote on Truth Social. “This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!”

You left out an important part.

“This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country! Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem. We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, his social media site.

"They" won't be paying the big price. US consumers will. The stable genius doesn't understand how tariffs work.

 

[berg80]

Naw, he's bluffing.

He's bluffing about the entire premise of his economic plan for the country? He said child care for financially struggling parents would be paid for by the proceeds from tariffs. Was he lying to those parents?

The Keystone is entirely Canadian owned, and few refineries in the U.S. are equipped to refine the nasty sludge. The bulk of it is exported, not used in the U.S. We won't miss it if it shut don completely. It's always leaking and a piece of shit anyway. Hopefully it does get shut down.

Agreed. All he has to do is tariff one country, and the rest will fall in line. Yes, for those not thinking clearly, it will be Mexico.

You have no idea what he'll end up doing. Neither does he.

Do some research.

U.S. imports from Mexico include cars, machinery, electrical equipment, food and beer. Canada supplies oil and gas, machinery and parts and much else. The United States relies on China for electronics, particularly phones, along with toys, furniture and plastics. Economists warn that tariffs could affect grocery prices, which were a key election issue. Mexico supplied more than half of U.S. fresh fruit imports in 2022, according to the Agriculture Department.

Mexico suggests it would impose its own tariffs to retaliate against any Trump tariffs

President Claudia Sheinbaum says Mexico could retaliate with tariffs of its own, after President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on Mexican goods.

Because that's what happens.

Oh there will be tariffs,but 25% on Canada won't happen. You get medicines, oil, nickel, minerals, paper, meat and G-d knows what else from us. You see, you can hit finished products with tariffs as they can be created anywhere and you should hit those who cheat, use slave labour wages and suppress their currency. Hitting a nation with broad resources doesn't make sense, especially when we are a pittance of the poisons and illegals who enter your country.compared to Mexico. Furthermore it is the words of U.S politicians and Sanctuary Cities.that promote and intice these people to sneak over in the first place! I told you to be weary of our border as Canadians are struggling but we are light years away from the problem Mexico and their partner China pose.

It won't hurt the U.S nearly as much as Mexico and definitely China. Look at the trade imbalances.
