Trade Wars and Tariffs

If it were that simple, there wouldn't be a drug problem in modern society.

Sure; there will always be a drug problem, but like border breaching the argument is how much is tolerable. Then how much personnel, how much wall and surveillance systems, to inhibit the activity to tolerable level.

Why didn’t our Canadian friends meet their defense spending commitment?

It is “establishing a tariff”. It’s easy enough for them to get much of it (25% across the board) lifted by cooperating.

They consider us good friends when trade is skewed in their favor. Trump is proposing evening up the imbalance and sharing the burden of keeping the wrong element from illegally entering the US

Hold on a second. Let's focus on the point of issue first. The tariff is about "defense spending" and trade "skewed in their favor"? How do you know that? Can I surmise that the reason to impose tariff is the arctic vortex that originated from northern Canada? Canada did nothing to mitigate its hazard so it reached the US in full force and caused so much damage? All jokes aside, I am just going off the official WH press release: "PRESIDENT TRUMP IS KEEPING HIS PROMISE TO STOP THE FLOOD OF ILLEGAL ALIENS AND DRUGS". It mentioned nothing else as the reasons to impose tariffs. If illegal aliens and drugs are the issue, let's look at the facts about how they flooded from Canada, or did they? Then let's look at how reciprocal the imposed tariffs are.

All those liberal tears for nothing. Both Mexico and Canada have already caved, and both sets of tariffs have now been delayed 30 days.

 

[Vol737]

Makes you think.

This was easy for Trump to get done. What did that take, a few days?

Meanwhile Senile Joe sat back and did nothing as violent criminals and fentanyl poured into our country. Did he even attempt to leverage America’s strength, military, and/or economic power to do anything to stop it?

Which was intentional....and everyone knows it.

Unbelievable that so many dont understand negotiation and leverage, they probably pay msrp for their vehicles

Canada? What happened there? I knew Mexico got right in the head pretty quickly.

Trudeau said he would wash the range balls at Trump’s CC

Look up about 5-6 posts.

Oh, gotcha. Trudeau is such a clown. Spending the $1.3B he was already supposed to spend on it and now tweeting out like he wasn't trying to hold out and didn't just get manhandled by Trump.

Thank goodness; I won't have to increase my Labatt's and Canadian 'bacon' budget from $0.
Damned good thread going to waste here.

It worked wonders for my PLTR investments.

Umm....have you seen the after hours action on PLTR? Up $18.43 (22%). Big earnings beat, apparently. Nice job.

...except that the tariffs weren't what moved Palantir's stock. That was their after hours earnings release.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Does this still mean that Ontario will not stock US liquor in their stores? And are they still canceling their Starlink contract?

 

[MOOOOONEY]

Where am i?

Is this a trick question?

Usually with your head up your a$$ but I’m not sure where you are today.

Yes, drug and human trafficking has seen marked increase on the northern border and will continue if no attention is given it while we're working on the southern border. As have cartel operations.
