Trump threatens 'far larger' tariffs if EU and Canada unite to do 'economic harm' to the U.S.

They are often done to ensure local production of critical infrastructure or to compensate foreign markets from subsidizing their exports
I get the premise, it just seems silly. If a foreign company wants to give you steeply-discounted stuff, it seems like you ought to take the cheap stuff and enjoy it rather than worry about being unable to sell the same stuff as cheaply.

I'm pretty sure that was deliberate. Bush didn't want a soundbite of him saying shame on me.
Yeah, it's really a rare instance of quick thinking on his part (relatively)

Ding ding ding. We have a winner
Not that I am doubting this as a tactic but has this been reported in my any large organisations?

Exactly, he doesn't know how to negotiate because a negotiation involves give and take. Trump has only ever known take, take, take

Yet another thing that is beyond our willfully ignorant American Republican's comprehension.
Adults cooperate with others who are open to mutually beneficial cooperation. Babies (and largely seniors past 70 as we become very similar to our sunrise at the sunset of life) kick and scream demanding to get their way the way they want it.
I'm a 40 year old manchild who collects movie props and even I know that.

The trump regime’s only purpose is to TANK the US economy so that stocks, businesses, and industries can be bought by billionaires at rock bottom prices.
They are the ones already owning the companies. It's not like the middle class had much of the ownership lol
"The bottom 90% of Americans own approximately 7% to 11% of all stocks. This highlights the significant concentration of stock ownership among the wealthiest individuals in the U.S. ."
Trump is hurting the rich. Which is hilarious because it's not like he has anyone else's interests in mind ahahaha
Oh yeah, his top buddy Putin

The word is "crybully"
Putin's idiot cuck.

Well I really hope we don’t get the conservatives in in this coming election so we can actually help the rest of the world fight back against this piece of shit and his stupid fuck ass country.
Honestly the one silver lining with America's current shitshow is that it turned a near-certain Conservative majority into a likely Conservative loss.
I just hope the rest of the world is ready to help us fight back

US: Bashes Canada for no reason. Starts a trade war.
Canada: Makes new trade partners.
US: Canada how dare you find other trade partners! Come back here so I can bash you again!

No, because it's speculation.
It's far more comfortable to think it's being done for some malicious reason rather than out of stupidity or fear.

The original life-size mechanical t-rex from the first Jurassic Park movie.

do economic harm to the US
.... Like the economic harm you're doing to Europe and Canada?
You're literally that bully that's starts screaming "don't hit ME!" when the victims punch back
I would be surprised if Donald hadn't done precisely that in its childhood.

The one that started it all.
In 1999 Blockbuster video had a contest, giving away 1 full size episode 1 Yoda made by Industrial light and magic in every state. I didn't know about the contest until the last day, put in my entry, and he's been looking over my room, now office, ever since, keeping me contemplative.
Either that or a trap used in Ghostbusters 2 that I had signed by Dan Aykroyd. But probably Yoda.

This is the internet.

I see what you're saying, although I think it was a joint effort by the US and the EU. And it was short-sighted on both their parts.
The EU is feeling the heat that comes from a lapse in personal security and the US will find out that they aren't the power they thought they were without their allies.
If Trump isn't corrected it could all come crashing down for the US and the EU.
Why for the EU?
It's much easier to produce military hardware than to set up a large trading network.
Remember, we only need to have enough to decisively stop the Russia. We don't need to become another US military power.
