Tariffs on Mexico and Canada

Because "American First" means "America alone" and it was an utter disaster for your trade and your economy in Trump's first term.

There won't be any cheaper prices in the grocery stores at all because of mass deportations and closed borders. No cheap labour in the fields or the processing plants means no cheap food on the shelves, or in your restaurants.




During Trump's first trade wars, all investment in new manufacturing stopped because manufacturers couldn't plan their supply lines or the cost out the financial projections without firm and secure international trade deals in place. Trump ripping up the existing trade deals every time he's in a bad mood will have the same result.

Canada and Mexico both benefitted financially the last time Trump declared war on your biggest trading partners, and given Trump's fiscal incompetence, I think we can expect to do so again.

Just remember - YOU voted for this shit. You deserve what's about to happen - again.


Count down to the next American economic collapse has already begun.

I assume that your addressing whitehall
 
Actually, Biden did plenty. He deported more people than Trump ever did.

Trump didn't fix jack shit, he had more illegals enter the country than Obama did.

Trump is now stopping the flow of illegals and he’s still a private citizen.

I've posted this many times... and you keep pretending you didn't see it.



Trump isn't stopping shit. In fact, the Mexican president pretty much bitch slapped him. Must really upset him to be bitch-slapped by a woman of color.


Mexico was already working with Biden to curtail the migration from Central America.

Illegal border crossings on track to reach new Biden-era low​


Unlawful crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border are on track to drop to a new low for the Biden administration in November, according to internal Customs and Border Protection figures obtained by CBS News.

U.S. Border Patrol is on pace to record fewer than 50,000 apprehensions of migrants crossing the southern border unlawfully this month. The agency has been averaging roughly 1,550 apprehensions between legal border entry points each day so far in November, according to the internal data.

The current four-year-low in illegal immigration reflects a broader decrease that began earlier this year and that has been mainly attributed to efforts by the Mexican government to stop migrants from reaching American soil and asylum restrictions enacted by President Biden in June.
 

Looks like it's working.​

BREAKING: Trump says Mexico's president has agreed to 'stop migration' across southern border​



No, it isn't. Man, Trump keeps lying to you and you keep falling for it.


Sheinbaum then appeared to directly contradict the president-elect's account of the conversation, posting on X: "In our conversation with President Trump, I explained to him the comprehensive strategy that Mexico has followed to address the migration phenomenon, respecting human rights. Thanks to this, migrants and caravans are assisted before they reach the border. We reiterate that Mexico's position is not to close borders but to build bridges between governments and between peoples."

/—-/ And I can show the opposite:
“Yet again under President Biden, ‘border czar’ and Vice President Kamala Harris, and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the annual border encounter numbers have once again proven to be catastrophic. Since the start of Fiscal Year (FY) 2021, CBP has recorded more than 10.8 million encounters nationwide, including more than 8.72 million at the Southwest border. By contrast, CBP recorded around 3 million encountersnationwide, including 2.37 million at the SWB, from FY2017-2020. Nationwide border encounters this fiscal year increased nearly 50 percent compared to FY2021. Of the 2.9 million nationwide encounters in FY2024”

That's the list of encounters.. how many of them were sent back? If the same person gets caught three times crossing the border, that counts as three encounters.

The real problem is immigrants have figured out the Asylum Loophole, largely because the last time, Trump and Miller dismantled much of the apparatus to process asylum cases.
 
Sounds like a plan.....No More Mr. Nice Guy when it comes to countries that go out of their way to harm the US.

Mexico, the Chi-Coms, and Trudee had their way with us the whole of FJB's term....That ends on 1/20/25.


Here's a clue. Trump's threats on imposing tarriffs is all bullshit. What he's doing is soliciting bribes. Pay him off & he drops the tarriff. Whoever doesn't play ball with that gangster is screwed.

Trump is nothing but a two bit criminal shakedown artist that you idiots elected POTUS.

And there's not a goddam thing anyone can do about it thanks to our wonderfull SCOTUS who are owned by the biggest conman in history.

Trump has already folded against Mexico and will do the same for Canada.


Trudeau has done nothing of the kind.
 
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.
They should definitely tariff the beer.

Definitely.

Watch, the illegals will self deport inside of a month. :p

/—-/ That explains Biden keeping Trump’s tariffs and adding two more. Thanks for clarifying.

I’ll bet Walmart’s Chinese goods aren’t subject to tariff’s. They’ll pay the bribes. All the big companies will. It’s the small businesses who will be screwed.

And the American consumers.

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!”

With Canada, meaningless. Poilievre is just gonna bypass the US and start selling to other countries, so the US will simply lose out.

Any oil or LNG the US wants off Canada will now just be dearer. The US is going to have to do something alien to them, go and make friends, not enemies. History has always shown the Americans are slow on the uptake.

Trudeau signed yet another trade agreement at the latest G20 conference, and has been quietly signing trade deals around the world ever since 2020, in anticipation of Trump's return. Wash, rinse and repeat for the EU, and your Asian trading partners. The entire world has a Plan B in case Trump returned to the White House.

I'm not convinced that a lightweight like Poilievre is going to be Prime Minister. Canadians know that Mark Carney has been behind every major economic decision in the past 25 years, that has kept the USA from crashing and destroying the Canadian economy, despite all of best efforts of successive Republican Presidents.

Trump is blaming Canada for the failure of his CANADA-MEXICO-USA trade agreement, which was supposed to stop Canada and Mexico from "screwing you over". Trump negotiated this deal. TRUMP screwed you over.

YOU'RE NOT "SUBSIDIZING" YOUR TRADING PARTNERS. YOU WANT WHAT WE HAVE AND YOU'RE PAYING US TO PURCHASE IT. YOU KEEP BUYING MORE AND MORE OF OUR STUFF.


Doug Ford has just called an election in Ontario, thinking the Liberals are in trouble, but I'm not convinced that Ford is nearly as popular as he thinks he is.

Federally, Conservatives have no discernable platford other than to make Canada "free again". Whatever that means.

Mark Carney was UK BofE governor for a period of time, I would honestly say it's in Canada's best interests to avoid Carney and elect Poilievre.

Unfortunately, the US always makes friends by paying in cash.
