I did this as an accommodation, and out of respect for, President Sheinbaum,
Any carve outs that support any workers in Canada, even if it's just one industry or another, are going to be a good thing,
We will not be backing down from our response tariffs until such a time as the unjustified American tariffs on Canadian goods are lifted,
Canada had a choice: to go along with Lutnick’s proposal or to reject it. The government opted for the latter, but that may be a negotiating ploy. It is playing well with Canadians. They are very angry with Trump,
Zero tariffs or nothing. This attack was not started by our country. This was started by President Trump. He decided to declare an economic war against our country and our province, and we’re going to hold strong,
People are going to lose their jobs,
There are going to be tariffs. Let’s be clear.”
Justin Trudeau, of Canada, called me to ask what could be done about tariffs. I told him that many people have died from fentanyl that came through the borders of Canada and Mexico, and nothing has convinced me that it has stopped. He said that it's gotten better, but I said, 'That's not good enough.' The call ended in a 'somewhat' friendly manner!"
He was unable to tell me when the Canadian Election is taking place, which made me curious, like, what’s going on here? I then realized he is trying to use this issue to stay in power. Good luck Justin
For anyone who is interested, I also told Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada that he largely caused the problems we have with them because of his weak border policies, which allowed tremendous amounts of fentanyl, and illegal aliens, to pour into the US. These policies are responsible for the death of many people!"
We’re not interested in some sort of reduction of the tariffs,
You’re asking me for what the president’s justification is for these tariffs. It’s not up to you. You’re not the president,
Canadians are reasonable, and we are polite. But we will not back down from a fight. Not when our country and the wellbeing of everyone in it is at stake,
The call ended in a ‘somewhat’ friendly manner,
This is not meeting somebody sort of halfway or reducing the tariffs,
I can confirm that we will continue to be in a trade war that was launched by the United States for the foreseeable future,
Believe it or not, despite the terrible job he’s done for Canada, I think that Justin Trudeau is using the Tariff problem, which he has largely caused, in order to run again for Prime Minister. So much fun to watch!"
The U.S. has been the chief supplier in this war so far,
Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format,
I feel betrayed, but this feeling is not really deep for some reason. I was expecting something like that from Trump’s side,
