Trump to start crying and whining about how unfair Canada is being
>Based off various Trump administration statements, the tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China imposed on Tuesday are about ... other nations showing more respect for Trump. LMAO
https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-canada-mexico-china-lutnick-2b269614084027a4894aa14f3dc16227 President Donald Trump is granting a one-month exemption on his stiff new tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada for U.S. automakers, as worries persist that the newly launched trade war could crush domestic manufacturing.
The pause comes after Trump spoke with leaders of the “big 3” automakers, Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, on Wednesday, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Asked if 30 days was enough for the auto sector to prepare for the new taxes, Leavitt said Trump was blunt with the automakers seeking an exemption: “He told them that they should get on it, start investing, start moving, shift production here to the United States of America where they will pay no tariff.”
Trump had long promised to impose tariffs, but his opening weeks in the White House involved aggressive threats and surprise suspensions, leaving allies unclear at what the U.S. president is actually trying to achieve.
Based off various Trump administration statements, the tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China imposed on Tuesday are about stopping illegal immigration, blocking fentanyl smuggling, closing the trade gap, balancing the federal budget and other nations showing more respect for Trump.
All of that has left Canada, a long-standing ally, determined to stand up against Trump with their own retaliatory tariffs, rejecting a White House overture to possibly reduce some of tariffs imposed on Tuesday.
“We are not going to back down,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said after speaking with the Canadian prime minister. “We will not budge. Zero tariffs and that is it”

Ford told The Associated Press that the auto sector in the United States and Canada would last approximately 10 days before they start shutting down the assembly lines because of the tariffs. “People are going to lose their jobs,” he said. After the White House announced the one month reprieve, shares of big U.S., Asian and European automakers jumped as much as 6%. But pausing the 25% taxes on autos traded through the North American trade pact USMCA would only delay a broader reckoning to take place on April 2, when Trump is set to impose broad “reciprocal” tariffs to match the taxes and subsidies that other countries charge on imports. GM in a statement thanked Trump “for his approach, which enables American automakers like GM to compete and invest domestically.” Other industries are also likely to seek exemptions from the import taxes. “A number of industries have reached out to us to ask us for exemptions to the tariffs,” Vice President JD Vance said Wednesday. The White House repeatedly insisted that it would not grant exemptions and the sudden turnaround reflects the economic and political problems being created by Trump’s day-old tariffs. While the Republican president sees them as enriching the United States, his plans to tax imports have alienated allies and caused anxiety about slower economic growth and accelerating inflation. The U.S. president engaged in a phone call on Wednesday with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had suggested that the administration was looking to meet Canada and Mexico “in the middle.” But Trudeau refused to lift Canada’s retaliatory tariffs so long as Trump continues with his new taxes on imports from Canada, a senior government official told The Associated Press. The official confirmed the stance on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. “Both countries will continue to be in contact today,” Trudeau’s office said.

Tariffs are taxes paid by importers in the countries receiving the goods, so the cost could largely be passed along to U.S. consumers and businesses in the form of higher prices. In his Tuesday night speech to a joint session of Congress, Trump tried to minimize the financial pain as a “ little disturbance.” “It may be a little bit of an adjustment period,” he said after claiming that farmers would benefit from reciprocal tariffs on countries that have tariffs on U.S. exports. “You have to bear with me again and this will be even better.” Trump has predicted that tariffs will lead to greater investment inside the U.S., creating factory jobs and boosting growth in the long term. On Tuesday, Trump put 25% taxes on imports from Mexico and Canada, taxing Canadian energy products such as oil and electricity at a lower 10% rate. The president also doubled the 10% tariff he placed on China to 20%. The administration has claimed that the tariffs are about stopping the smuggling of drugs such as fentanyl, with aides asserting that this is about a “drug war” rather than a “trade war.” U.S. customs agents seized just 43 pounds (19.5 kilograms) of fentanyl at the northern border the last fiscal year. Trudeau said on Tuesday that his country would plaster tariffs on over $100 billion (U.S. dollars) of American goods over the course of 21 days, stressing that the United States had abandoned a long-standing friendship.

“Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada, their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they are talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying, murderous dictator. Make that make sense,” Trudeau said on Tuesday. Mexico indicated it would announce its own countermeasures on Sunday. Beijing responded with tariffs of up to 15% on a wide array of U.S. farm exports. It also expanded the number of U.S. companies subject to export controls and other restrictions by about two dozen. “If war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end,” China’s embassy to the United States posted on X on Tuesday night. In response to China, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” that the United States is “prepared” for war against the world’s second largest economy. “Those who long for peace must prepare for war,” Hegseth said Wednesday morning. “If we want to deter war with the Chinese or others, we have to be strong.” Leavitt is one of three administration officials who face a lawsuit from The Associated Press on First- and Fifth-amendment grounds. The AP says the three are punishing the news agency for editorial decisions they oppose. The White House says the AP is not following an executive order to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

The economy is fucked because of Trump's actions. And now that we've completely shot every single one of our foreign relations, it'll continue being fucked for years to come because you need to be able to trade to maintain a healthy economy.

>>1389745 Ok. How do the long term gains happen? Don't just say "trust the plan" because I don't know what the plan is. Is it to get manufacturing back? Well if we're doing that through tariffs, dropping them goes against that, not to mention manufacturing needs imports so prices will still go up even 5 years later if any of those factories don't go the way of the Foxxcon deal. Is it to strongarm into better trade agreements? Well that's not what's happening, he's dropping them with literally 0 alterations.

We are hearing a lot of noise from Canada because Trump is exploiting the unequal power balance in our international relationship.
American GDP that comes from Canadian imports is roughly 10%. The other way around it's 60%~ for canada.
America has the strongest military in the world. Canada doesn't, and their defense is subsidized by American defense bills.
The same goes for europe at large. They have no economic or military power, but they still talked shit while putting a massive tariff on American imports for decades.
My point being: you shouldn't care what Canada thinks or anybody else thinks. They are vassal states, not real allies.

>>1389747 you're a country that runs off manufacturing that's now in a trade war with your biggest suppliers lmao. The whole america subsidizes canada is bullshit if you look at the actual numbers Canada is subsidizing US by giving them a discount.
>>1389781 >Canada has been tariffing American consumer goods for years, ranging from 10% to 270% retard alert if you look at what's being tariffed it's FOODSTUFF mainly animal produce, not only is it a tiny part of the trade there's a reason for that because of the farmer oiligarchy class in Canada. which is at best 4% of the us to canada exports.
Lets not pretend that's the same as global 25% tariff.
Lmao the US is fucked you retard, do you know what a 10% american GDP hit would do. Canada is fine long-term they're self-sufficient on resources and produce the reason you have a trade deficit is because you're a country of disgusting parasites that don't produce enough to feed yourself. you are going to die and the world will celebrate for it.
Do you know what the biggest american export to canada is machinery and equipment. Guess who just implemented a tax on steel with a double tax on their largest supplier oh right enjoy getting fucked lmao. Canada turned down LNG deal from Germany in 2022 to continue selling to you parasites.

US on the otherhand your tariffs are going into the sovereignty wealth fund lmao.
>>1389807 Canada farmers are literally an oiligarchy class that have enough political influence to take out the prime minister. don't expect those to change. you literally need a certificate to produce and sell goods from each livestock and those certificates aren't issued anymore.

>>1389896 you're so full of shit, foodstuff is the only thing above 10%. oil is literally tariff free if its used in production.
https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/trade-commerce/tariff-tarif/2025/menu-eng.html Steel is only partially tariffed depending on its usage and only at 3.5-7% for some most cases are tariff free.
showing again the american retardation disaease is real you're such an uneducated retard did you get your news off twitter.

>https://www.international.gc.ca Also, just to make this clear: we don't need a reason to annex your country. All of this bullshit about tariffs and "paying your fair share" is just a formality. We could do it at any point we want because that is the virtue of being the strongest world power, and that's what is going to happen in the future.

>>1389904 >>1389781 look at this retard here, US has never won an actual war by themselves, you've been BTFO every single time and humiliated. ww2 is literally stolen glory you stood on the sidelines being war profiteers until you got dragged into it. Now you're mad because you got caught spreading made up numbers. you're lucky canada subsidizes your resources you get it for a below market rate that's going to change from now on though, the states is a smaller country with nothing of worth besides a bunch of stupid morons in the midst of a civil war.

If Trump wants American milk to be more competitive in Canada, he should just eliminate US price controls for milk. That would also result in lower prices for American customers. Everyone wins. Centralized price controls are communist. He needs to let the hand of the free market control milk prices before he complains about tariffs.

>>1389885 Funny thing about that... Canada doesn't really have free trade with itself. Basically every province sets its own standards for goods and services, so even though Quebec can't put tariffs on Ontario, it can keep Ontarian beer and doctors out of 'la belle province'. Some studies have shown that the cost of these inter-provincial trade barriers is higher than any tariffs Trump could impose. Trade barriers the Canadians are now working very hard to take down. Alcohol was first to have these restrictions lifted, but apparently they want to remove most others in the coming months.
Combined with the Alberta-east coast oil pipeline everyone now wants to build, Trump may unironically cause Canada to have a BETTER economy than before.
