Trump says Canada and Mexico to be hit with 25% tariffs on Saturday
Canadian oil will be hit with a lower levy of 10%, likely by mid-February, President Trump says.
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
What an idiot he is.
Plot twist: Trump is just looking to see if the Americans can stand up for themselves. If they remain silent and do nothing like people do in former USSR countries, he will continue to tighten the screws.
P.S. Need to take out a loan for Trump passport at 146% APR, lol
I'm not sure what to do though. Pitchforks at city hall? mean letters to white house interns? Protests that the news wont cover? I live in one of the bluest states there is.
We certainly cant count on the Corporatist dems doing much of anything, except if there is any pushback they will try to use it as a photo op while contributing no support to it at all.

I don't promote violence though, and I understand what do you mean. I just said to people it as a fact that he acts like a typical narcissist will do, and it's unhealthy. You may have done the best you could, don't bother.
Stay strong.
