Summary

Trump signed an executive order imposing 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports—excluding Canadian energy at 10%—plus additional duties on Chinese products.

In response, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a 25% duty on $155 billion in U.S. goods, beginning with $30 billion in tariffs Tuesday.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum indicated reciprocal tariffs, rejecting claims that Mexico tolerates criminal groups trafficking fentanyl and insisting on respect for sovereignty.

Experts warn these tit-for-tat measures could drive up costs, disrupt supply chains, and mirror the previous U.S.-China trade war, possibly harming security.

    Can he also tell Google to NOT show both “names” for Gulf of Mexico in his country? This could spark a wave of international boycott of Trump’s bullshit.

      I just checked on mine, it says “Gulf of Mexico”. Perhaps it depends where a user is located?

        Remember when Biden was doing all he could to keep things in one piece while all the newspapers were trying to doom and gloom us into a recession just after the Great Resignation?

        too busy keeping an eye on our own fifth column, and potential collaborators/quislings should things go “there” .

        Considering Trump’s reaction to retaliation against his own divine authority, is to flip the fuck out and escalate.
