White House Says 40+ Nations Helped China Evade Tariffs

The Trump administration keeps mistaking protectionism for patriotism. Slapping tariffs and crying “transshipping” doesn’t make US goods better, it just makes them pricier to local consumers! I7ů

If American jobs are the concern, the answer isn’t to wall off trade routes or accuse half the world of conspiring with China. The answer is to out‑compete on quality and innovation.

The xenophobic undertone painting Canada, Japan, India, Mexico, and South Korea as accomplices shows a chip on the shoulder rather than a plan.

Trade wars have no winners, and blaming others won’t fix what’s essentially a competitiveness gap!

When bureaucrats stop advising and start echoing, you don’t get policy, you just get Trumped-up propaganda dressed-up as economics.

Never trust China on anything - unless you're in Canada, then it's open arms.

China's communists pushed the Convid nonsense welllllll beyond its sell-by date.

Only when the people pushed back did they back down, the cowards in government.

Good that the White House picked up on this and ain't falling for it.

Here's what the next decade looks like if nothing changes. America drifts into self-imposed isolation as one partner after another quietly diversifies away from US dependence. The EU, Canada and China step into the vacuum, as the predictable hub of trade, dealing with whoever treats them fairly and the US continues its March into irrelevance, and it's economy starts to shrink, inflation skyrockets, and joblessness becomes a major problem.

The guiding principle that Trump not only ignores but has a complete lack of understanding about, is that America became the greatest economy on the planet due to a lack of tariffs, due to very low import taxes. You don't tax your way out of a deficit, the deficit is there for a reason, ignoring the reason for that deficit and simply focusing on the symptoms is a recipe for disaster. We'll have to call it the Trump economy, we will have to call it the Trump depression, and we will have to call Trump the worst and most destructive president America has ever seen.

Reagan knew what he was talking about with regard to tariffs, and Trump simply does not have a clue, and knows nothing about globalization, nor the inherent ecosystems within globalization.

Carney has outsmarted Trump at every single turn and the highest quality lumber in the world is no longer available to the U.S and as being sold China and the EU. The oil and gas that the U.S. used to get easily from Canada is now going elsewhere, same applies to the aluminum, the steel, and the rare earth materials that the U.S. no longer has access to, due to sheer stupidity, a victim mentality, and spectacular levels of ignorance on the part of the biggest snowflake in America.

He does not get it. But, he will eventually. US influence is not what it used to be. And they will pay a huge price for his isolationism, ignorance, arrogance, tariffs (tax hikes), environmental recklessness, and unwillingness to abide by the law.

The incredible level of destruction that Trump has caused is only just beginning, and Carney's brilliance and ability to outsmart the brainless ego is only just beginning to manifest itself.

Exports to the United States in October accounted for 67.3% of all exports, the lowest non-pandemic level since the current method of data calculation was established in 1997.

"There is definitely a pattern here. Companies are taking this quite seriously," said Stuart Bergman, chief economist at Export Development Canada.

Exports to the United States dipped by 4.1%. Exports to non-U.S. nations jumped by 15.6% to reach a record high, pushed up by shipments of gold to Britain and oil to China.
