Sure. He's picked a fight with Colombia and misreported it as a win.
Colombia backed down
that is a win for Trump,.... for now
Colombia should be careful. Trump is no fan of their unofficial export product.
Let's see how Americans like a prolonged tariff war with Canada and Mexico.
you do not know what your talking about
Our economy
can not withstand a prolonged trade war with the US.
that will cause huge and permanent damage
if counter tariffs are to be applied we have to be very careful and selective about applying tariffs
The tariffs applied by Trump are an inflationary tax he is applying to his economy ./ citizens
The pain we will feel is a loss of orders, businesses closing and job losses
tariffs applied by Canada are an inflationary tax Canada is applying to our economy ./ citizens.
The pain we will feel from our tariff moves is inflation
The Canadian consumer has just been pummelled by Trudeaus money printing inflation.
The Canadian consumer is far more levered up with debt than the American consumers
Applying a 25% across the board tariff on all US imports will drive personal bankruptcies sky high. Families will be decimated,
.
this is the application of leverage ahead of USCMA negotiations in 2026 so we might get beat up for a year
if we do not fix the boarder situation it will be prolonged.
Trump will not back down on boarder security . He will tariff Canada and Mexico for four years if need be to get that win
Same for the NATO spending, although the boarder is number one and measurable immediately
The reality is Canada should fix the boarder and fix our military for our own interests, so fix them and let him claim the win.
