Tariffs atop tariffs? White House says levies on Canada would be cumulative
Tariffs atop tariffs? White House says levies on Canada would be cumulative
As an American, all I can say is the most obvious thing. Trump is a monster and very stupid as well. Sorry, Canada.
It's easy to dismiss this as stupidity, but there's logic behind this https://lemmy.ml/post/25873392
I gave a look at this linked post. I agree there is a logic to what Trump and Musk and the rest of those ghouls are doing. To clarify, I don’t actually think either men are indeed “stupid” and used it as a turn of phrase and a way of expressing my anger. I do think it’s incredibly short sighted though to ruin friendships with countries who you have economic and military cooperation with. The long term downsides I would imagine outweigh the short term gains for Trump and Musk personally. With this said, I don’t think either cares about anyone but themselves, so ruining the country and its relationship with Canada and more probably means little to them. My monster comment still stands.
