Trump boosts tariffs on Canada to 35%, carrying through on his threat
"Canada has failed to co-operate in curbing the ongoing flood of fentanyl and other illicit drugs, and it has retaliated against the United States for the president's actions to address this unusual and extraordinary threat," says the statement.
If I remember correctly most of the fentanyl found was heading north to Canada not south to the US.
This was, and continues to be, never about fentanyl.
Trump wants to feel like a powerful leader so instead of taking on actual substantial threats to the US economy he bullies his smaller allies, like the weakling he is.
We can't transition trade away from that failed state south of us quickly enough. And, as with many of Trump's shortsighted "bull in a China shop" decisions, this will only serve to motivate us to do so quicker while also detrimentally affecting the US' own long-term trade prospects.
Ironically, we all know the fent is from China and it’s flowing here to fuck us up as a plan to crush us.
Opium Wars 3? Do we know that? Got a link for more info?
I didn't know that. I always assumed it was big drug companies with a backdoor illicit business.
