Is Trump Losing the Trade War with Canada and Trudeau?

[John Drake]

Sure seems like it. Unbelievably, Trump is losing to Canada.

 

  Quote

Canada’s initial retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. will remain in place despite President Donald Trump postponing 25% tariffs on many imports from Canada for a month, two senior Canadian government officials said.  https://apnews.com/article/trudeau-trump-tariffs-trade-war-58eaa333ef96d4f17965bb7004e6bee7

Trudeau's brilliant response.

Trump said "Jump" and the Canadians complied. Well, kind of. They pounced on him.

There are no winners in a trade war. I wish politicians were banned from any economic activity at all, as they always stuff it up for the common folk. The rich always get richer, the middle class ( if they still exist ) will get by, but those the bottom suffer as always.

Losing?  The fat lady hasn't even started warming up yet.

 

And, I would add, it's not Trump vs Canada.  It's Trump vs Trudeau and the woke mind virus that would freeze bank accounts of the truckers.  That's just evil.

It's not trump vs Trudeau, he has resigned as of last Jan. and the new leader will be elected this Sunday, your boogeyman is gone on his own terms.

And to turn it around, you're not Canadian, whoever is Prime Minister of my country is no concern of yours or anyone south of the 49 parallel

Projecting much?  We haven't even seen what's going to happen. 

 

If the new PM is reasonable, the temperature of the relationship may change immediately.  Perhaps that's why Trump has postponed the tariffs.  Which he really doesn't want.  That's just his negotiating strategy.

 

Do what you want north of the border.  But don't expect the USA to let it creep south (any more).  Like illegals, fentanyl and unequal trade.

The bone spurs coward made yet another flip flop on tariffs---albeit after the market closed, so as not to cause yet more decline.

 

Now it's going to be dairy products from Canada by next Friday......well, at least until wishy-washy changes his mind tomorrow.

 

Canada is treating the clown's mouth diarrhea with all the respect it deserves, which is none. Canada is treating him as if he's a pre-pubescent teenage girl unsure what she will wear to go to the bowling alley, trying on every A&F, Old Navy, or Lululemon outfit in her closet.

 

So bad is the President at dealmaking and impacting behavior, even Putin has decided he has no need to even pretend the President has any sort of workable peace plan, as Russia launched massive drone attacks against Ukraine Friday. The moron has dreams of a Peace Prize, still envious over Obama's award, failing to realize the Nobel Committee would likely choose Attila the Hun before the President.

 

The whole world is laughing at the bozo in the White House.

Thank you Canada.

What I think Canada should do to cause some pain is to add an export tax on oil and electricity. You notice Trump has only put  a 10% tariff on energy. The Midwest refineries depends on Canadian crude and the  Northeast depends on electricity.

Canada has more tariffs than the US

Do canadians feel targetted by trump? Seems they cant admit trudeau <deleted> up their country more than trump ever could

[Lacessit]

Trump has done lasting damage to the US liquor industry. To Canadians, it does not matter if he has backed down on tariffs - they are outraged.

What petty people.

[NoMoonLogistics]

There is a very good reason for these putative tarriffs against Canada. 

 

Trump's wife made a pass - and was politely rejected - at Canada's prime minister.

 

Ffs, give him credit - a less restrained unhinged narcisistic wannabe dictator would have declared war.

[gargamon]

And thanks to all this tarrif nonsense the Canadian liberal party will likely retain power in the upcoming election, maybe even with Trudeau at the helm. Good job Trump. You kept your clone, Polly-Ever out of the the PM office.

Most Canadians disagree with you.. and that includes even the head of the Canadian conservatives who is pretty far to the right.

More right-wing nonsense. Very few illegals.  And the amount of fentanyl coming from Canada is exiguous. As for unequal trade, Trump should blame the incompetent who negotiated the trade agreement that was the successor to NAFTA. Who was that person?

As there is no logical economic basis for the introduction of tariffs, the more likely reason for all this is the hatred that Trump has for Trudeau, who will be replaced today, btw. Hold on, did I use the word logical and Trump in the same sentence? Doh!!
