Summary
Trump announced that 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico will take effect on February 1, though a decision on including oil remains pending.
He justified the move by citing undocumented migration, fentanyl trafficking, and trade deficits.
Trump also hinted at new tariffs on China.
Canada and Mexico plan retaliatory measures while seeking to address U.S. concerns.
If oil imports are taxed, it could raise costs for businesses and consumers, potentially contradicting Trump’s pledge to reduce living expenses.
back in the first episode, lord diaper whined, and whined and shit on nafta, forcing it to be ‘renegotiated’ by him. he just had to have his name on everything.
nafta was a long time in the making, from reagan, to bush, to clinton when it finally went into effect. it had bipartisan support in congress, a little stronger from the right.
undone by a single shart from an orange moron that leaked, and then magically ‘fixed’ by the same…
in the end, what mr. art-of-the-fucking-deal managed to ‘negotiate’ is almost entirely the same as the nafta he hated so much.
now he’s shitting on his own fucking deal. fuck’m.
i fully support your efforts to avoid our products and companies for the next few years. and if anyone up there wants to come renovate the white house again… i won’t be in your way.
