Mad King Donald threatened Canada with 35% tariffs in an unhinged letter that eventually cites fentanyl as a problem when less than 1% of fentanyl seized originates in Canada, challenging Canada to solve a problem that does not exist.
President Donald Trump late Thursday threatened a 35% tariff on goods imported from Canada, a dramatic escalation in an on-again, off-again trade war with America’s northern neighbor and one of its most important trading partners.
And, in a separate NBC News interview, he suggested blanket tariffs on other US trading partners will jump, as well.
The Thursday actions are the latest examples of a whipsaw policy that’s left investors, trading partners, businesses and everyday Americans alike scrambling to make plans even as the economic ground shifts not just from week to week but in some cases from hour to hour.This comes after his pointless 50% tariffs on imported copper (mining and smelting copper in the United States can cost as much as three times more than doing so abroad) and his 50% tariff threat against Brazil over its “witch hunt” against criminal ally Jair Bolsonaro for his attempted coup.
BTW, we have a trade surplus with Brazil.
Enjoy your $9 cup of coffee.
Too bad Mad King Donald killed funding for Alzheimer's disease research at a time when he is personally in desperate need of treatment.
