Trump announces double tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum

[VitaMan]

Why does Trump hate Canada ?


The day before steel and aluminum tariffs are set to go into effect, President Trump announced he would specifically set tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum at double the rate of the rest of the world.


"I have instructed my Secretary of Commerce to add an ADDITIONAL 25% Tariff, to 50%, on all STEEL and ALUMINUM COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM CANADA," Trump wrote in a Tuesday post on his social media site. "This will go into effect TOMORROW MORNING, March 12th."


The last-minute change to steel and aluminum tariffs, which Trump had already set to go into effect at midnight, is the latest in his chaotic tariff policy. Trump had promised to make tariffs the centerpiece of his second term, and this term has indeed been marked by a series of tariffs imposed, threatened and withdrawn. The uncertainty caused by those rapid shifts has rattled stock markets and other economic indicators.


The president also once again proposed that Canada become a U.S. state.

He called it off, after Ford magnanimously helped him save face and temporarily paused the electric surcharge

Incoming Canadian PM Carney has stated he's keeping any previously approved tariffs in place until the U.S. agrees to respect free trade

Seems like the leader of Ontario had a problem. His alligator mouth overloaded his canary ass. I guess all those commercials for the last two months were false advertising.

... Ford surely rolled right over like a scared dingo.
"Canada won't back down!" ... ...

Now, hopefully Canada will start payin' their fair share.

He's showing more respect for the USMCA and than Trump.

Trump doesn't care about fairness, my dude. If so, he'd acknowledge the quotas before the tariffs kick in. He should remember them. This waa part of the USMCA that he renegotiated as the greatest deal ever, that's now the worst deal ever that some moron must of signed. I wonder who that moron was.

The moron who started a trade war?
