Wasn't there the renegotiated NAFTA (by Trump) for which these new proposed tariffs would violate?
If the contract was negotiated and signed by Trump it’s not worth its value in toilet paper.

if nothing else, you can’t argue Trump will renege on any contract and at the very least fail to pay what he agreed to in the contract.

Imagine what happens when US implements 25% tariff on those cars being sold from mexico? US has a housing crisis, not an automobile crisis...those plants are in danger of shutting down, in Mexico. It will be Mexico's problem not the US...you think all those parts can't be manufactured in the US? GM & Ford have big plants in the US...if these other manufacturers want to sell their products in the US, either they pay the tariff or build plants in the US. Majority of Americans already has shown to support Trump...Mexico either fix their borders play by the US rules or they are going to get fucked. Canada can stand on it's own. Mexico is a big ?

I was saying that above.

Best deal evah, nobody ever negotiated a bettah deal. People are saying it's a perfect deal.

Oh wait, he just negotiated a pile of shit I guess

Not a shocker though that he goes back on what is effectively his word

Also good to see that there are people on terb who thinking economically damaging Canada is hilarious.

I like the take by o'Leary who said he threaten 400% tariffs on China. That will bring them to the table, or bankrupt them.
Given how much the US imports from the PRC, it would be politically unsupportable for an American administration to attempt to impose it as more than a PR move.

Many people are mesmerized by Trump’s satire. In the end , there is usually “ much ado about nothing” although occasionally Trump does something which is highly effective and actually matches the rhetoric.
America is not in a position to tell their banker, China what to do.
Trump is just a blip or flash in the pan for China’s 40 to 70;year Silk Road plan anyway.

denying the US access to Canadian Fresh water is a strange idea
They can pump all the water out of the great lakes they need and there is not a damn thing we could do about it
Yeah, I kinda thought the same about the comment. The USA has every right and access to every drop of water in the Great Lakes as Canada

Having said that, there are a myriad of treaties and agreements that govern our mutual interests

No production will be brought back to the US. Thats just another Trump lie. Do know how many years it would take? 5 to 7. All know the tarrif, if implemented at all won't last long. So they simply higher up the price.

I know you really want to defend everything Trump but do you have any idea what it takes to set up an automobile manufacturing plant? Or even a stamping plant?

If Trump imposes 25% tariff on produced cars and automobile parts, it will havoc with the entire AUTO industry.

Things are not as simple as Trump makes them out to be

O’Leary is a longtime personal friend and he admits he is a bigger attention whore than Trump what he says with 400% extra salt!

Having said that, he really is a pretty smart guy. But he is an attention whore first and foremost.

Americans are their own worst enemy. There would be no fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine crisis in the United States if there was not such a voracious demand from degenerate American gluttony. Mexico doesn’t have a drug problem like the United States. And drugs are practically free there so it’s not the cost. It’s the society.

As for Mexico, otherwise getting their shit together, fat chance!.

And before simpleton Trump sells all you Trump Chumps on simple solutions, The United States needs to get its own shit together

his appeal to the masses is that he reduces complex problems into simple soundbites that allow simple people to feel that they have something valuable to contribute to geopolitical issues

No disagreeing there. But it's an interesting notion and the premise being their business practices are abhorrent. So hit them hard and force them to do better.
