Trump violates the Canada-US-Mexico Free Trade agreement that he himself signed www.cbc.ca/news/politic... - ThreadSky

The UK thinks trading with the unhinged, unstable Trump is better than trading with the EU. Brexit and Trump, the UK is committing economic suicide.

No one thinks that. The Government is trying to do a reset with the EU while avoiding Us tariffs. It’s a balancing act.

I hope you are correct but that's not how I am reading it. Every day they convince me otherwise. The lastest being Yvette Cooper on Sky News this morning. Depressing stuff.

Please don't think the whole of the UK thinks like that, just our out of touch leadership cowering before our own right wing MSM.

reply

eagleneedle.bsky.social•85 days ago

I did mean your leadership sadly and you are being led to economic oblivion by all your parties it seems as, as you say they are cowering before a corrupt billionaire owned media. The same in the US.

BLOG: Trump launches tariffs again even though they were a miserable failure last time. So why do it again? Because tariffs serve special interest groups - at YOUR expence. Here is my take on Trump’s tariffs as an economist and financial analyst for many years.

Trump's assignment will be to damage the US as much as possible while filling his swag bag .. in much the same way that Russian Boris did to the UK.

Welch, like Welsh, derives from Welisc, or "of Wales", and unfortunately has been made synonymous with unreliability in business dealing by English attitudes to the Welsh themselves. It's one of those words that should just be let die.

According to the U.S. border agency 19 kilograms of fentanyl was confiscated at the Can/US border in 2024.

Over 10,000 kg was confiscated on the southern border.

24,000 people crossed into the USA illegally from Canada in 2024.
Hundreds of thousands crossed into the USA from the south border.

Mexico and Canada not rolling over is the best thing that could have happened in this situation. Appeasing fascists doesn’t work and negotiating with economic terrorists is also a shit idea. If Trump wants a trade war, he’ll get one and he’ll lose.

I wish someone could show the detail of the import and export figures which Trump is using. I’m not in favour of his tactics but there must be some basis for it. Journalists?

johnnieburdette.bsky.social•85 days ago

Yeah, and the moronic Brexiters think that a free trade deal with the USA is a good thing.

Trump, during his first term, slapped tariffs on the UK. He couldn’t give a 💩 about Brits.

I saw that Trump imposed 25% tariffs on most Canadian stuff, but only 10% tariff on oil.
If I were Canada, I'd add a 15% tax on oil exports to the USA.

I don’t see this aspect of the tariffs addressed: tariffs invite our northern & southern neighbors to seek out trading partners, namely the Chinese, entrenching China on the North American continent. China is as transactional as Trump. National security for the whole continent will be at risk.
