Trump threatens 'severe tariffs' on Canadian fertilizer in attempt to prop up American farmers

[shockedcanadian]

I am just the Messenger but it pains me to see that we have lost the trust of our closest ally. This goes well beyond Trump I assure you. They have $38B in debt, this must be addressed and we have not been able to leverage our Goodwill which some agencies have decimated.


Those of us destroyed must have our rights reinstated and our futures to be allowed to flourish via our effort. This includes our health issues that have been denied.

Perhaps then, the world and liberty loving Americans will have our backs again. We need the support of American citizens because both parties do not view us as we once did.

American farmers are struggling under Donald Trump, and the American president is now turning back to Canada as a means to a financial end. Trump claimed during a roundtable in Washington on Monday that Canadian fertilizer being exported south of the border could be hit with significant levies in the future as he attempts to aid American farmers who have been negatively impacted by months of trade uncertainty created by Trump. During the roundtable, Trump also announced a $12-billion aid package for farmers.

According to the US, “This relief will provide much-needed certainty to farmers as they get this year’s harvest to market and look ahead to next year’s crops, and it’ll help them continue their efforts to lower food prices for American families,”

New tariffs on Canada​

Trump was quoted, stating: “A lot of (fertilizer) does come in from Canada, and so we’ll end up putting very severe tariffs on that, if we have to, because that’s the way you want to bolster here.” Many US farms rely on potash fertilizer from Saskatchewan to add potassium to their soil. American purchases make up half of all fertilizer exports from Canada. When Trump imposed his 25% sweeping tariffs on all Canadian exports into the US, he was forced to lower the tariff on fertilizer to 10% after outcry from Republican farmers. The same farmers have publicly supported Trump's tariffs despite their consequences.

Trump has no concept of sticking to his own agreements.

These tariffs are not going to reduce the deficit.

The farmers do not support the tariffs. I live in Kansas. Farms are all over the place here. So don't try to argue using sme shit you heard on Fox.

Your economy grew at 4.3%

Compare that to the rest of the G20

You would be wise not to believe numbers coming from this administration. Our economy was growing more than the others in the G20 when Biden was President. Tariffs are not creating this.
