WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S.-Canada relations, already tense, are likely to deteriorate further after the United States went ahead early Tuesday with a decision to ban nearly $1 billion worth of Canadian imports, including alcoholic beverages, dairy products and motorcycles.
The ban amounts to barely a ripple in $880 billion worth of annual two-way trade between the two northern neighbors. But it marks another ratcheting up of President Donald Trump’s second-term trade war with America’s longtime ally and trading partner.
The import ban “certainly won’t do anything to help the trade tensions between the United States and Canada,’’ said trade attorney Patrick Childress, a partner at Holland & Knight and a former U.S. trade official.
It takes a genius to start a trade war against your own best ever trade deal.
Art of the deal.
Didn’t cost him a dime.
did it gain him any?
It helps potentially losing congress.
.
he needs to go.
…to the long sleep.
Say it out loud.
Hope the subhuman bastard dies a agonizing and undignified death ideally while being recorded, watching Kirk get offed simply wasn’t enough to satisfy mine bloodthirst.
It was fuckin’ gold though. That head jerk. Magical. Take all those nutjobs out.
The economic impact is likely to be minimal. Childress noted that the products on the banned list were already facing Trump’s tariffs. ”For a lot of these goods, the 50% was already acting as a de facto ban by making importation from Canada into the United States uneconomical,″ he said.
“From motorcycles…”
It affects exactly two bikes, from one company, who already imported enough inventory to last a year or more.
MORE STUFF FOR CANADA!!! Woooo lower prices on local goods, here we come 🤞
So anyway…
