Trump now says the tariffs are for economic reasons. Isn't this a violation of USMCA?

[that's not a macchiato]

Trump says there's nothing Canada can do to stop tariffs from taking effect

Trump claimed his threat to introduce a tariff on goods from Canada, Mexico and China was not a negotiating tactic but was necessary to boost the U.S. economy.

Contrast this with what Howard Lutnick said, that the tariffs are not a violation of USMCA because there is an emergency clause, and the emergency is Fentanyl production.

Just because Trump proposed USMCA and signed in into law, himself in July of 2020, does not mean he is above ripping it up with no notice. Agreements with the United States government are basically worthless, even if they are his.

Presidential emergency powers are nearly limitless, and any trade deal is ultimately only as good as all the signatories' willingness to abide by it. Congress does have the power to override national emergencies with a joint resolution, but getting a veto-proof majority in both chambers seems unlikely.

Did Trump get ripped off in his first term? Are the bad trade deals he negotiated screwing us?

After U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January 2017, he sought to replace NAFTA with a new agreement, beginning negotiations with Canada and Mexico. In September 2018, the United States, Mexico, and Canada reached an agreement to replace NAFTA with USMCA, and all three countries had ratified it by March 2020.

Emergency powers are only valid if there’s an emergency caused by an outside force, not a self-induced shot in the foot.

I'm trying to point out to Republicans Trump Signed NAFTA. The new NAFTA. He owns it. Trump 45 had 4 years and all he got us was the USMCA?

There can be other reasons. Like, we should make medicine, war weapons, food and other things we NEED, here in America. So you tariff those things to make buying from another country not an option.

Musk Calls For ‘Zero Tariff Situation’ Between U.S. And Europe, Slams Trump Advisor​

Musk told far-right Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini that he hopes to see a “free trade zone” between the U.S. and Europe.

“We will do everything we can to work towards an agreement with the United States, with the aim of avoiding a trade war that would inevitably weaken the West in favor of other global players,” Meloni said in a translated Facebook post.

Musk, who has become a close adviser to Trump and defended the President’s agenda, had remained relatively quiet about the tariffs until Saturday. However, stock prices in his tech company, Tesla, have taken a drastic nose-dive following Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day.”

Musk is a Globalist

In a series of replies on his social media site X, Musk slammed White House aide Peter Navarro, a Harvard graduate who earned a PhD in economics and backed Trump’s tariff policies.
“A PhD in Econ from Harvard is a bad thing, not a good thing,” Musk wrote. “Results in the ego/brains>>1 problem.”

Musk launched another swing at Navarro in a reply to a user who defended the economist, posting: “He ain’t built shit.”
Another post quoted conservative economist Thomas Sowell: “In every disaster throughout American history, there always seems to be a man from Harvard in the middle of it.” Musk replied “Yup.”

Howard Lutnick isn't making any sense. He's on TV now getting grilled. He's complaining that we buy xxx amount from Viet Nam and they only buy x from us.

Vietnam has 100 million people

We have 340 million. No shit we buy more from them than they buy from us.

Same with Canada. Only 40 million Canadians. What do you want them to do?
