“Look, Mexico and Canada have never been good to us on trade,” he continued. “They’ve treated us very unfairly on trade, and we will be able to make that up very quickly because we don’t need the products that they have.”

Hahahahaha...oh god, comedy heaven!

...Wait, what do you mean this is not the onion?

The U.S. imports 60% of its oil from Canada.

Someone should tell the talking Cheeto that we are a net exporter on oil and the majority we import is from Canada and Mexico. You know, the whole thing of there being different types of oil and the refineries in the US are set to refine foreign oil and not our own oil.

It’s like sale prices at JCPenny.

Tariffs on oil and microchips, should make a nice dent in cost of living.

It's What happens when you treat a country like business.

Don't worry, Alberta's premier already has her head so far up Trump's ass that she will never allow a retaliatory tariff on oil. I'm calling now that if the federal government pushes it through anyway, then Alberta will immediately try to leave Canada and join the US.

We're gonna be fucked either way because the country will tear itself apart over a response while getting economically strangled.

They also import a shitload of electricity.

And pretty much anything made out of a tree.

"Who knew oil was so complicated?"

Anytime he finds something out, "nobody knew". Anytime he finds out he went too far, "no one knew it was this complicated".

The Agreement between the United States of America, Mexico, and Canada (USMCA) was entered into force on July, 1, 2020, under the USMCA Implementation Act, H.R. 5430; Public Law 116-113. It replaces the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) which was in force from January 1, 1994 to June 30, 2020.

Hmm who was president in 2020?

How many businesses has he bankrupted again?

[cybermass@lemmy.ca]

Then do it bitch, I don't care.

My job will literally not be affected and all the American companies we work with will just skirt the law to avoid tariffs because America or they will pay them.

Ain't no one taking down the true north strong and free

Trump warns that he's going to tank the US economy On Saturday

[shalafi@lemmy.world]

Crash these economies, with no survivors. (OK, bad day for that one.)

Until people see the results of fascism, it'll keep creeping and creeping. Right now it's a full throttle. Let. It. Run.

LMAO at Americans bitching about grocery prices. Well over half of us are getting plenty of calories. There won't be change, let alone revolution, as long as we're all fat, happy and something is on the tube.

Lots of metals as well, TD has an analysis if interested.
