I thought the reason for trashing trade agreements and taking a wrecking ball to the Canadian economy with extreme tariffs was because of fentanyl coming from Canada at the border?
Apparently not, says Trump, from his speech at Congress tonight: “… Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again”.
By his own words, he has just shown his big lie.
In addition to huge costs of new plants, and finding replacements for skilled Canadian workers, there would be loss of Canadian market for those vehicles. China has better value cars, and US made cars would go way up in price to recoup those investments.
He lost the 2020 election for screwing up the US over Covid. A bigger recession won’t help the midterms or 2028 “president for life decree”.
