This is the definition of insanity.
We've tried this several times already and it hasn't worked, but perhaps this time it will.
No it will not!
Every single time #Canada has made a concession with the #US on #CUSMA (#USMCA) #DonaldTrump has found some other pretext to #Tariff us again.
#MarkCarney, STOP MAKING CONCESSIONS!
Negotiations between us, together with rulings by the #US #SupremeCourt, dismantled the initial version of the sweeping #tariff measures. Yet this month, disregarding dozens of meetings between our teams, solid technical arguments & documents I personally handed to #Trump, the US government imposed new #tariffs on #Brazil ranging from 12.5% to 37.5%.

A year ago, I was taken aback by the publication, on a digital platform, of a letter from President Donald #Trump imposing a 50% #tariff on Brazilian goods. Its very first paragraph referred to former president #JairBolsonaro — who was #convicted last year for attempting a #coup d’état in #Brazil & is now under house arrest — making the political motivation behind the measure explicit.

#Trump says he'll place 25% #tariff on #autos from #EU, accusing bloc of not complying with #trade deal
Trump said Friday that he will increase #tariffs charged on #cars & #trucks from the EU next week to 25%, a move that could jolt the world #economy at a fragile moment.
Trump said in a social media post that the EU “is not complying with our fully agreed to Trade Deal,” though he did not flesh out his objections in the post.

Thinking it’s a “coup” (or a smart win) just because it brings in tax revenue is a mistake. It’s a destructive policy. He taxes his own citizens to fund his budget—all while pretending it’s foreigners who are footing the bill. In doing so, he destroys American competitiveness. By 2026, manufacturing anything in the USA will cost more than elsewhere because of the price of imported parts. It’s slow‑motion economic suicide, all to satisfy a slogan.
Another #Tariff Success!
