Only Works as a State’: Trump Vows Not ‘To Bend’ On Tariffs Until Canada Is Absorbed Into The U.S.
Only Works as a State’: Trump Vows Not ‘To Bend’ On Tariffs Until Canada Is Absorbed Into The U.S.
"It's so perfect as a great and cherished state. Keeping, 'Oh, Canada,' the national anthem, I love it. I think it's great. Keep it. But it'll be for the state."
It’s blatant extortion now.
You're viewing a single thread.
I honestly hope this just fuels our country to find other, better, trade partners and to also bring in free trade between provinces.
He says the US doesn't need Canada, we should do the same.
He says the US doesn't need Canada but also wants to annex it.
The US absolutely does need Canada's natural resources. The Canadian people and its sovereignty stand between him / America and that golden goose.
If you recall the colonial era, when a stronger nation wants the resources of a weaker nation, it generally does not go well for the weaker nation.
Canada needs to accelerate the process of partnering with other nations now. It is never going to win a trade war against the US alone. Reciprocal tariffs are not going to cut it. Time to diversify the customer base and then tell the Americans to pound sand when they inevitably come knocking.
Canada is already the only G7 nation that has a free trade agreement with all other G7 nations.
Canada should join BRICS
They should join the EU or something like that with the rest of the west that isn’t fascist.
... You think BRICS is fascist?
Russia and China are involved so that poisons it for me
It's an economic bloc, not NATO. They just trade.
Yeah, look what just trading with the wrong partner has done for us so far.
... are you arguing that BRICS is going to place sanctions Canada if they join? Literally what consequences would there be?
No, I'm saying that 'they just trade' isn't as innocuous as it sounds. Choosing bad partners can get you in hot water when they decide they want to stop playing nice and mangle your economy.
We trusted the US once, I can't imagine we'd trust a trade bloc driven by Russia and China.
IMO we need to engage hard with Europe and other nations that have something approximating functional democracies.
Canada should sell the $378 billion it owns of US debt.
To who? To the fucking aqua-man?
With how racist they are towards China?
I mean it would work out better for them but I'm pretty sure brics doesn't need such an economic and cultural drag, even if it would be very, very funny.
