What is the purpose of tariffs on Canada?

[CowboyTed]

Please tell us what the Tariffs on Canada are meant to achieve?

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/04/canada-mexico-tariffs-create-ripple-effects-on-consumer-prices.html

So lets say it is going to cost $450 per household per year

what it's target?

What metric will signify success?

Note:
There is barely any fentanyl that comes across the border.

---------
So maybe it is the trade imbalance... I don't know what balancing this does... It doesn't benefit either side...

United States Imports from Canada was US$421.21 Billion​

Canada Imports from United States was US$277.04 Billion​

So if Canada stops exporting Oil, Gas and Aluminium to US then that could balance up...
I know some will say that would kill US refining industry and severely hurt US exports (of Refined Oil and Gas) but this has to be balanced if that is the goal.

So what is the aim of these tariffs?

You’ll have to wait till the Trumpers check they propaganda sites for a reply

Nothing.

Don't need to go look for anything. The Canadians put tariffs on American goods all the time. WE have always been the lowest tariff setting nation IN THE WORLD>>FOR EVER
All the president WAnts is a level playing field. Why do we have to enrich them at OUR EXPENSE. Stop yer whining babies.

 

[martybegan]

Nothing.

For decades the US has offered nothing but the carrot in all trade negotiations.

Now that someone has brought the stick out, your primary bitch is who is using the stick. Admit it.

Okay, I can't believe this actually has to be explained to the cult, but let's do some numbers.

US Population: 340 million.
Canada Population: 40 million

US GDP: $28 trillion
Canada GDP: $2 trillion


Hmmmm, I wonder why it is we buy more shit from Canada than they buy from us.

It's a real fucking mystery, ain't it.

CONSPIRACY!!!

 

[Calypso Jones]

Ask George Bush about it. But there you go.... supporting everyone but the US....are you canadian?? Don't worry..Trump IS going to fix this.

Personally i'm going to boycott all goods out of Canada..maybe forever...

United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement

The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) entered into force on July 1, 2020. The USMCA, which substituted the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a mutually beneficial win for North American workers, farmers, ranchers, and businesses. The Agreement creates more balanced...

The USMCA like NAFTA has almost every product duty free. Only exception is agriculture negotiated by Trump and a few random businesses. You are incorrect.

And that may be where the President is going. THAT would be free trade. Why is it that WE have to be the loser. That must end. we are not the world's Uncle Sugar.

Here you go: Agreement between the United States of America, the United Mexican States, and Canada 7/1/20 Text

Tell us all:

Why is Trump suddenly unhappy with the very deal he negotiated with Canada and Mexico?

Is Mr. Art Of The Deal schizo, or what?

No. There we don’t go. One deal isn’t the same as the history of Canadian tariffs on America.

Nor does it address other government-sponsored protectionism of Canadian goods which Trump believes to be unfair.

Thanks for your latest mighty whiff.

You are making shit up. Please provide examples of "government-sponsored protectionism of Canadian goods" which violate the USMCA.

Not even your orange god has made that claim, whiff boi.
