Several countries have announced plans to reduce or eliminate tariffs on U.S. imports in response to President Donald Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” policy, set to take effect on April 2, 2025.
This policy aims to match the tariffs that other nations impose on U.S. products.
The White House released a detailed chart showing how badly many countries have been ripping off American workers, charging high tariffs on U.S. goods while benefiting from America’s generosity in return.
The White House fact sheet released today clarified that Canada is exempt from the reciprocal tariff announcement.
This exemption comes after a series of trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada. In February 2025, the U.S. imposed a 10% tariff on Canadian energy imports and a 25% tariff on other Canadian goods, prompting Canada to respond with its own tariffs on American imports. Subsequent negotiations led to temporary suspensions and adjustments of these tariffs.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford proposed that Canada eliminate tariffs on U.S. imports if President Trump reciprocates. Ford emphasized that mutual tariff removal would benefit both economies and urged cooperation for greater prosperity and safety.
However, according to the New York Post, Ford lacks the federal authority to enact such policy changes.

Chuck Schumer hardest hit.
A few weeks ago Ford was arrogantly threatening to cut power to the US. He folded fast.
Weren’t Canadians ever wondering why the hell everything costs so much more up there?
Can you say: “Thank you President Trump.”?
If many of these nations eliminate or reduce their tariffs will that really result in a return on manufacturing jobs?
Tsla is planning on expanding human droids to work and be put into homes. The entire point of more robots and automation is to lessen the human worker. The basic ideas of autonomous vehicles is to take away the human element in driving. That's a huge human workforce, much more so than any human workforce in repairs.
No effin’ way can we let Canada off the hook.
Provincial Premier Ford has the right approach.
But the Canadian Eco economy is held hostahe by the Globalist supporting libs under “Carney, the unelected Prime Minister designate.” He is a Trudeau cut out, and an abomination on Canada’s future.
Conservative Poilievre is the man, but he is losing in the polls,thanks to the constant support of Carney by state funded media, CBC, and CTV.
😂
Freeper GOP warmongers and “Free Traders” hit hardest.😱
