This administration is a bunch of amateurs with poor anticipation capabilities....

Details matter, in order to assess this issue and the position of Greenland response. the current two sea routes and the future new route... 9 https://hakaimagazine.com/videos-visuals/in-graphic-detail-the-polar-silk-route/

That can't be true! According to our MAGA posters, Greenlanders have been so impressed by Trump that they have widely adopted the MAGA cap, and are eagerly waiting to become American! 😆

For a good reason! “The EU and the UK are both very vulnerable to prevailing global events and a reset of relations is the single most effective way to make both sides stronger,”

A quick update for you.

The other issue is that oil companies are not keen to invest in new drilling, in particular with the current price decrease trend. They are not going to shoot themselves in the foot by investing to reduce prices and their profits. I guess that, as prices have started to decrease last year and will probably decrease in 2025. Trump will try to take credit for it and attribute it to the drill baby drill B.S., even in the absence of significant new drilling.

I did not pay attention you were talking about Katrina. That was 10 years ago.

It depends whether environmental concerns are factored in or not. The crucial question is now: is it in the interest of Canada to invest in order to increase its dependence on the U.S. market? Or would it be more appropriate to reduce its dependence by investing to increase its refining capacity, as well as its capacity to export oil by sea to other markets.

It depends on the objective. In case of tariffs war, if oil is excluded, it means that Canada can charge a higher amount of tariffs on U.S. exports than what the U.S. can charge on exports from Canada.

There are different options which may be combined: - increase discounts, but it's unlikely that it may fully compensate for high tariffs, - export to another country which will re-export to the U.S., - curtail production. - let the CD devaluate, which will decrease export prices in USD, and increase import prices. In any case, it will likely be less profitable/more costly for both Canada and the U.S. The more general lesson from expected Trump's policies for any country, is that it's risky to be too dependent on the U.S.

As the source shows, the agricultural sector is not homogenous re, the use of manpower. The effect may vary between no effect for corn crops to a significant effect for specialty crops.

If there is a wage increase, they will still be higher than without wage increase. Energy prices are expected to decrease, according to a forecast made by the IEA last year. Oil price is expected to decrease to around $74/b in 2025, and $66/b in 2026. And it has nothing to do with drill aby drill B.S. which is just a slogan for the gullible. https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/

It depends of the type of crop and its level of automation 39% for specialty crops to 4% for corn. https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/charts-of-note/chart-detail?chartId=98569

Same as the other online services. In addition, I think they particularly need to distinguish between Chinese numbers and other numbers, as the Chinese may be subject to specific restrictions. Let's see if they can pass the test of compliance to EU laws, which are the most protective of privacy. Don't worry, all data centers in China are guarded and supervised by the Chinese security forces. What could go wrong? (Sarcasm alert)

MAGA propaganda lies, as usual!

Deepseek is just the tip of the iceberg. China has been investing in AI for years. There are several other AI initiatives in China. If Trump were not ignorant he would be aware of it... Below a 'pre-Deepseek' report on AI in China (August 2024) https://itif.org/publications/2024/08/26/how-innovative-is-china-in-ai/ Quote: The reality is the United States’ efforts to hold back China’s AI progress are unlikely to succeed. China is advancing rapidly in AI research and application, challenging the United States’ dominance in this critical field. Despite hurdles, China’s robust academic foundations, innovative methodologies, and increasing foreign investment are propelling it toward becoming a leading AI powerhouse. The question is not whether the United States can contain China in AI, but whether it can keep ahead

You sure? 😆 https://cdn.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/Johnson_TrumpEpstein_Lawsuit.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjb-dKSpJqLAxUJRaQEHa5dJRc4ChAWegQILhAB&usg=AOvVaw2A-P0GCUETmFTOtiarupfU Note: The lawsuit was ultimately withdrawn. The plaintiff claimed it was because she had been threatened. Of course, it's not credible that she could have been threatened.....

Poor MAGA who doesn't know the difference between a promotion discount by a particular retailler and a price decrease on the whole market. (BTW, it seems to be a scam as the discounted price is higher than the average market price ) https://tradingeconomics.com/

Promise made, promise broken! 😆

Your quote starts with a proven lie, that certainly doesn't make the other claim credible! 🙂

And it's not like some morons still don't believe that Biden and Harris won the 2020 election! Oh wait! 😆

Trump was lying, as usual!

Blah blah. He said what he said.

And you are still trolling

It seems it's your "veins popping out of your temples!: when you have to face the B.S. Trump actually said! He said that. It was B.S. “So when I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one" https://nypost.com/2024/08/15/us-news/trump-blasts-kamala-harris-high-grocery-prices-and-maduro-plan-while-standing-in-front-of-cheerios-meat/
