[Untitled]

of 25% against goods imported from canada and mexico and a further 10% against china

this violates the trade agreement struck between canada mexico and the USA in 2018. china has accused the USA of breaching WTO rules and canada has reciprocated with tariffs against american goods. mexico looks likely to do the same..
 

what on earth is the point of this? who benefits from a trade war between these countries?

The implication that the provinces are so unpatriotic that they will say, "Screw our nation, we're going to grab what we can and the rest can go under", is an interesting proposition.

//At least the Yanks can vote Trump out.//

We'll see.

It's idiotic to start a trade war. It doesn't benefit anyone, especially the average American, who will simply be paying more for their imported goods.

The stable genius never gave a chuffing about the average American though.

The trjeat of tarrifs worked with the Columbian, or did that slip the left wingers?

All Canada and Mexico have to do is put into place something to stem the flow of illegals and drigs into the country.  That is a reasonable thing to most people although I appreciate the libbies love illegals and drugs,

I remember well the applause when dopey Joe cancelled the almost completed pipeline from Canada to the US, and at the same time rowed back on the production of gas and oil in the US in a bout of save the planet lies. Universal applause from the luvvies, lefties and commies and wholesale price rises across America. The same honkers are now weeping aligator tears and calling tariffs a disasterous blow to the already shot economy. Laugh   ...   I nearly did.

The American idiots shot themselves in the foot by voting for Trump. Their British counterparts shot  themselves in both feet by voting for Brexit.

if Trump has his sights on the UK, would tariffs render US biomass too uneconomic for Drax?
