WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s long-threatened tariffs against Canada and Mexico finally went into effect Tuesday, putting global markets on edge and setting up costly retaliations by the United States’ North American allies.

      It’s the only possible outcome. We’re led by the ultimate loser. That still feels way too nice.

    Krasnov strikes again. Like the stupid fuck he is. Why not push for manufacturing first? At least throw 2 years at it, then tack on tariffs. But now?! What a fucking idiot.

    Trade wars never really end, they just keep getting worse. Slapping tariffs on allies like Canada and Mexico is just asking for a backlash, and all it really does is make everything more expensive for regular people. Inflation’s already been rough, and now Americans are basically getting hit with a hidden tax. Meanwhile, businesses and other countries are watching this chaos and probably making plans to rely on the U.S. less. Everyone loses from this stupidity.
