Ridiculous.like the tariffs or not, they were applied to promote certain outcomes.

Have these outcomes been achieved in the very few hours since the tariffs were announced?

If do, good. It’s been such a short time that I’ve not had a chance to see any such success reports.

Mabey release the on Mexico. Canada has disrespected the US over, and over again, and the need to be treated like the enemy they are.

We will see what happens with Canada, but Ontorio deserves a 100 percent Tarrif for threatening the US.

When are people going to realize that Trump is always negotiating?

Here's how it works: You make a proposal or demand that might even seem outrageous.

The target of your proposal or demand makes a response to it.

You float a compromise in response to that response.

They respond with a response to your compromise.

Eventually you meet in the middle. Both sides might not be entirely happy, but they'll live with it.

The Art of the Deal. Catchy title. Sure beats Rules for Radicals.

Doesn’t look good if there’s no further agreement with it.

But even the renegotiated NAFTA was going to make this challenging.

Agree in theory but if Trump leaves Canada alone, then a more right wing government would win the next election big time and it would better to deal with them then.

But by antagonizing them now, Trump is giving the Liberals new life.

Let’s see if Canada is willing to give. ONTORIO HAS THREATENED THE US AND DESERVES A 100 PWRCENT TARRIF.

I don't know who makes me laugh more: Canada's phony outrage of Mexico's "Huh? Who, me?"

Yet Mexico ENABLES all those illegals. It shows them HOW to sneak into the USA. We have to thank BIDEN for the open border.
Also, how many folks died from Fentanyl? Of course, the dumb-dumbs who took it died. Maybe Mexico did us a favor that way. Nah, I don't mean it.
It reminds me, somewhat, of Cuba's release of their VERY WORST felons to take boats to the USA.

We have such NICE neighbors, don't we?

Trump put in a clause that he is allowed to renegotiate the terms of the USMCA when he wanted and Canada & Mexico know this.
