Trump reiterated today that tariffs will be coming against Canada and Mexico on Saturday, although he said the scope of those levies is still up in the air. Canada and Mexico are the top U.S. trading partners, and his ongoing tariff threats have sparked fears of an economically damaging trade war.

Does anybody else feel like this timing isn't a coincidence, but rather a play to get maximal media exposure on the audaciousness of it all before the real government comes back to work on Monday?
Does he realize that we can gear up to value add to the raw materials we currently sell America?
Canada sees how successful his initiatives have been this first week. We mourn for your loss and we worry about America.
This will weaken the US not only in trade but in terms of influence.
But Trump doesn't care
She will likely NOT fall in line with the federal response TBA anytime now.
She is Maple MAGA in every way. Anti vax, anti climate, etc.
This could be a huge moment in Canadian politics revolving around Alberta's oil.
Look what he has done so far
The average price of a dozen eggs in January 2025 was $7.09, which is an increase of over 22% since the beginning of the year
U.S. average price for regular gasoline increased to $3.11 a gallon on Monday.
up 6.6 cents from a week ago,
But the consumers hold immense power. Bleed and punish American companies for standing idly by, and we force them to apply pressure on him as well.
I don't care where the ingredients were sourced or assembled. If Heinz (or whoever) is selling it, I'm not buying it.

Non billionaire Americans are in for a hard lesson in how international trade works.
Of the 21,889lbs of Fentanyl seized by the CBP in 2024, 43lb (forty-three!) of that was seized at the Northern Border.
They are just being a-holes.

I'm assuming there are a lot of aspects of that trade agreement that it would be destructive to continue?
Canadian lumber, Mexican corn,
Tariffs put in place with scorn.
Trump thinks they pay the fee.
Checkout line says, “Nope, that’s me.”
#Hypocrisy
Idiot Trump.
A national grant crisis that upended EVERYTHING followed by a plane crash - it's a horrific way to come out the gate.
Mostly because of the dollar but quite a few mentioned the current government.

We'd all love to see the plan
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
You ask me for a contribution
We are doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Americans are going to pay with LOST JOBS (full effect 3-4 months) and HIGHER PRICES (immediate as Canada and Mexico retaliate)
I think the USMCA treaty is over now
He needs to find out it's worse for 🇺🇲.
There is zero chance that Canadians are afraid of a trade war and zero chance that a Canadian politician could survive backing to the United States of Trump.
The US electorate will get exactly what it voted for.

Why does he hate us Americans so much? He’s punishing us! But why? Apparently, we just don’t worship him the way he’d like to become accustomed to…
