The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

We have now heard from all three countries (China, Mexico, Canada) Trump plans to impose Tariffs on.

China: "No one will win a trade war or a tariff war" and "the idea of China knowingly allowing fentanyl precursors to flow into the United States runs completely counter to facts and reality."

Canada: tariffs would be "devastating to workers and jobs" in both the U.S. and Canada.

Mexico: It’s unacceptable and would cause inflation and job losses in Mexico and the United States.”

Basically, it sounds like a go ahead, you are just shooting yourself in the foot. It will do as much damage to the US as to us.

It looks like they are not taking the bait on Trumps opening negotiating position.
