Summary
Trump announced that 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico will take effect on February 1, though a decision on including oil remains pending.
He justified the move by citing undocumented migration, fentanyl trafficking, and trade deficits.
Trump also hinted at new tariffs on China.
Canada and Mexico plan retaliatory measures while seeking to address U.S. concerns.
If oil imports are taxed, it could raise costs for businesses and consumers, potentially contradicting Trump’s pledge to reduce living expenses.
It might not matter weather or not he targets oil. We Canadians understand how important our energy supply is to the US and we’re willing to cut that supply of as a bargaining tool. This is where the find out happens following the fucking around.
I really hope you do. I hope everyone does, when Trump starts flexing at them. We (Americans) deserve every bit of hardship we get from this situation.
