Summary

Donald Trump is unlikely to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China on his first day in office, despite campaign promises.

Instead, federal agencies will review trade policies, existing tariffs, and the USMCA agreement.

Trump had proposed a 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican goods and 10% on Chinese imports, citing fentanyl and immigration concerns.

Economists warn tariffs would raise prices, worsen inflation, and disrupt industries.

Canada and Mexico vowed retaliatory tariffs, threatening U.S. auto production and undermining the USMCA trade agreement.

    Yeah, I’m not doing this again. Not waiting to see what of his random unhinged nonsense he ignores, fails to do or does anyway.

    I suggest keeping this guy out of World News unless he… you know, actually does something. I’m sure the US channels can track every time he misspeaks and then has to pretend aliens landed in Nicaragua or whatever.

    Tariff the globe, deport 1/3 of the country, reverse foreign tech bans…

    There’s a lot to do ‘on day one’.

      Maybe later, he’s busy at the moment doing a nazi salute at the podium he has no business even standing at.

      He has to wait for Elon to give him a list of Tesla exclusive suppliers to exempt from all the tariffs

    Cool, so instead of immediately sinking, we have endure suffering on the titanic for a bit longer before it sinks anyways.

    This suspense is killing me.

    Yeah, he’s a dickless piece of shit. It would take a pair of balls to actually follow through on your word, so I wouldn’t expect it from him

    Phew. This guy is a buffoon and a liar about this thing, so it’s as expected.

    However, be ready for everything else that the MAGA army will be doing under his watch, because they will try to advance the Project2025 agenda with or without a competent executive.

      The incompetent executive was intentional. He’s a media distraction that won’t get in the way while they rip open America’s asshole with a hot iron fire poker from the house of Representatives.
