Why are Mexican, Canadian, and EU Tariffs on US Goods Okay?

[DonGlock26]

How can you even ask such a question? These countries are following Trump's guidelines and beliefs. Trump is all about payback and revenge and Mexico, Canada and China are doing what Trump does............playing his game in his park.

It would be hilarious, except for the fact that WE (the citizens) are the ones that pay for them. We are the losers in this game

No answer to the OP question?

We all know Trump has started a trade war. Not all tariffs are equal and no one had an across the board policy against the US. The US with Trump is now going after close allies and others.

Trump lost to China last time.

The OP misses the point. Any tariffs on US goods by our allies are in compliance with free trade agreements previously negotiated just as the US has had certain tariffs on foreign goods pursuant to those free trade agreement.

What Trump has done is unilaterally violate those agreements for no reason whatsoever. There are only a minuscule amount of illegals coming over the Canadian border and the amount of fentanyl from Canada is minuscule of a minuscule amount.

If you read Trump’s tweets, he seems to have enacted the tariffs on Canada to force them to become a U.S. State. All Trump has accomplished is to alienate our closest ally over the stupidest of reasons.

So, they get tariffs and we do not?

How the tariff battle between Canada and the United States will impact Canadians | Globalnews.ca

The U.S. reimposing tariffs on some Canadian aluminum exports and Canada intends to put a reciprocal surtax on aluminum and aluminum-containing products from across the border.

globalnews.ca

"As the United States reimposes tariffs on some Canadian aluminum imports and Canada prepares to hit back, experts say the dispute will make certain products more expensive for Canadians — but it’s not yet clear how awful the pain will be or how long it will last."

This was from 2020, tariffs were on certain goods from Canada and Mexico already.

Say which would be "okay" isn't a good question. No tariffs might be better for everyone except a few people who might benefit. The EU is a perfect example of how well a free trade zone can do, and I guess the US is too.

Why do Democrats have a hard time with a level playing field for US Trade?

They hate America.

Two Canadian companies have already made plans to move bringing about 1200 jobs with them.

Winning.

 

[DonGlock26]

Because unlike e.g. a high cost country like the USA - Mexico CAN produce most of these items far cheaper in their own country.

Secondly emerging economies (poor *****) have a tendency to place tariffs due to lacking any other far more effective means till their economy has gained a certain level. See e.g. China in the 80'ies to 2005.

In other words YOUR Trump is applying the means, typical/characterizing that of a "poor ****" country!!

Mexico already caved in.

Why are Mexican, Canadian, and EU Tariffs on US Goods Okay?​

If I were those countries, I would form an economic alliance that excludes the US
Offer the best prices to countries other than the US

The US can no longer be trusted. We can tell them Trump will soon be gone and that things will return to normal.
But there is no assurance that Republicans will be elected back into power and trade wars will resume.

Mexico caved in.

 

[DonGlock26]

Tariffs have been used in a focused manner. Trump ordering across-the-board tariffs is economy destroying.

Mexico is okay. They caved in. Turdeau may wreck his already shitty economy.

I think he stopped Canada and Mexico's raping of the US economy.

Because they hate America.

I mean, who doesn’t want more equitable trade relationships???

We saw Chucky Schumer' trying to flip a burger a while back. Now he tells us that all beer comes from Mexico and we have no avocado trees in the U.S. So much for incoherent democrat logic.

When I lived in Santa Barbara back in to 90s, there was an avocado orchard at the end of our street. Owners said we could have anything that was hanging over the fence. We ate a lot of guacamole.

They hate America.

No one wants to pay higher prices. But if we can get countries to engage in more equitable trade relationships, prices will come down. In the process, if we can use the opportunity to enhance security at the Border, that is good too.

I guess Democrats hate Trump so much they would rather go back to prices skyrocketing due to big spends and 10 million illegals crossing the border.
