- Thread starter DesRicardo
- Start date
And that's way they keep getting pushed around.Canada can add tariffs immediately, as they showed with their phase 1 package. They don't need 21 days for the second phase, they are being deliberate and giving the US a chance to back down.

The reaction should have been instant to send a stronger message.
You are entitled to your opinion. They seem to know what they are doing though. Trump is the one dithering.
You have a lot of faith in people who have proven over the past decade that they don't know what they're doing.
Trump isn't dithering. He's setting the stage for negotiations that will benefit the US.
So all this because of a drug called fentanyl, that’s killing Americans. Okay I can understand that but yet that orange faced fart says nothing about the lead bullets that are killing Americans as well which, they can control without outside interference. So this thing is just BS about fentanyl now if I understand correctly Trump is convicted felon. If that is true why do we reply to Pres. Trump should it not be the felon Trump?
He is clueless. He's pointed a shotgun at his own foot and threatening to pull the trigger. The grownups are acting patient, but he might be stupid enough to do it.
That's the Democrats job to make noise on CNN and push the agenda.
But they are still debating over transgender rights. They are so f*ing useless.
Wow you aren't too smart. It's Trump debating over transgender rights and exploiting a gril that was hurt in volleyball. How can you applaud a useless piece of shit who is trying to destroy our country ? You don't deserve to be canadian
No, Trump is laying down the law and dictating there are only 2 genders.
Its the Lefties who keep arguing there are 72 of them: https://www.medicinenet.com/what_are_the_72_other_genders/article.htm
Fucking idiot has no idea how our elections work. He doesn't know what democracy means.Trump just posted this on Truth social. Why is Trudope still cozying up to Trump??!!
He should just say you want a fucking trade war, then we'll give it to you.
And then hang up the phone
Calling Trumputin names may get you bitch slapped by Mitchy but it won't stop us chanting for you to get your green card.
your post is a great example of "whataboutism" yes Americans are dying from shootings...wouldn't it be swell to at least minimize from drug overdose too? You know the convictions are bogus when every world leader accepts that he's the POTUS...LoL...
Green card is overrated...being in the GTA is the best place to be... Here, the liberals just meltdown...in the US they are violent...
you can die wearing a MAGA hat walking in Chicago or Minnesota...here, you can walk on the most liberal place and you will still feel safe...
These winters thoughGreen card is overrated...being in the GTA is the best place to be... Here, the liberals just meltdown...in the US they are violent...

Trump will delay some auto tariffs after Detroit Three push

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump agreed to delay tariffs for one month on some vehicles built in North America after a call with the CEOs of General Motors and Ford and the chair of Stellantis, the White House said Wednesday.
The automakers had urged Trump to waive 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada on vehicles that comply with the 2020 U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement's rules of origin. The move will benefit U.S. automakers and other foreign automakers that are in compliance.
"We are going to give a one-month exemption on any autos coming through USMCA... so they are not at a disadvantage," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters. "Reciprocal tariffs will still go into effect on April 2."
Automakers have offered to boost U.S. auto investments but want certainty about tariff and environmental policies, the sources added, noting that Trump could on April 2 impose additional tariffs that could drastically impact U.S. auto production.
The North American auto supply chain is highly integrated through the United States, Canada and Mexico, as parts cross the border in various stages of manufacturing that could expose car companies to multiple tariffs.
GM CEO Mary Barra, Ford CEO Jim Farley along with Ford executive chairman Bill Ford and Stellantis chair John Elkann took part in the call on Tuesday.
The automakers declined to comment. Stellantis told dealers it was willing to expand U.S. investment. The White House did not immediately comment. Ford shares rose nearly 4% on Wednesday, while GM was up 5%.
Limiting the relief to vehicles that are in compliance could hit some foreign automakers that have opted to pay the 2.5% tariff to export vehicles from Mexico to the United States rather than comply with the North American free trade rules.
Trump, in his congressional address on Tuesday, said he had spoken to top executives at the Detroit Three automakers that day and said tariffs and other policies will result in higher growth and "allow our auto industry to boom."
Stellantis said it needs time before making major changes.
"We are prepared to work with the Trump administration to support further investment in our U.S. manufacturing footprint but we need time to make these changes without negatively impacting the business and our customers," Stellantis said in an email seen by Reuters.

Only people who don't like him for biased reasons think he's clueless.
if you suspend that bias, you'll realize that he's very good at setting the stage for negotiations that will benefit his country.
Look what he made Canada and Mexico do to fix border security...just with words.
Crazy like a fox.
