Starkiller Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Might as well make this its own thread as it’s going to be an ongoing issue for years. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-tariffs-next-week-1.7467202 U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday he will go forward with a 25 per cent tariff on most imports from Canada next week, saying the country has ripped off the U.S. for too long and it's time to put a stop to it. Speaking to reporters at a White House news conference with the French president, Trump said work to implement those tariffs is "moving along very rapidly." "The tariffs are going forward on time, on schedule. This is an abuse that took place for many, many years. The tariffs will go forward, yes, and we're going to make up a lot of territory," Trump said. Earlier this month, Trump threatened to levy a devastating 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods — except energy, which would be levied at 10 per cent — going so far as to draw up an executive order to implement the regime. Trump ultimately pulled back after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau agreed to deploy more resources at the border to tamp down on drugs and migrants crossing into the U.S. Now, Trump signalled that the pause will be lifted around March 4 as planned despite meaningful improvement at the border with the number of migrants apprehended and the quantity of drugs seized plummeting.

No1TitansFan Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 What motive does any country have to do good faith negotiating with US currently? Even if Trump agrees to something he has a history going back decades to not honor it. The art of the deal, indeed. OILERMAN, and MadMax 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctm Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 US President Donald Trump’s threatened steel tariffs that don’t kick in for two weeks are impacting US buyers who already are seeing American-made metal cost more than imports. The benchmark price for domestic steel touched more than $900 a ton this week, up almost one-fourth this year, in anticipation of the imminent 25% levy on foreign supplies. That surge means US prices have now moved above par with imported steel, according to people active in the market who asked not to be named discussing non-public information The specter of a protectionist wall emboldened domestic steelmakers like Nucor Corp., Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., United States Steel Corp. and Steel Dynamics Inc. to raise prices. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/looming-trump-tariffs-make-us-steel-too-expensive-at-home/ar-AA1A0oDb?ocid=msedgntp&pc=HCTS&cvid=9dc55893160f4a499b81170e77c66af4&ei=59 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos27 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 The Unites States' word doesn't mean shit anymore. This administration is hell-bent on betraying anyone that considered us a real ally.
