During a visit to Beijing last week, Carney hailed a “new strategic partnership” with China that resulted in a “preliminary but landmark trade agreement” to reduce tariffs – but Trump warned of serious consequences should that deal be realized.
If Carney “thinks he is going to make Canada a ‘Drop Off Port’ for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
“China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life,” he said. “If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the USA.”
I wonder what might cause Canada to make a trade deal with China? Maybe it has to do with constant threats and trade wars initiated by the Burger King?
The US has been the leader of the free world for the past 80 years. Trump has managed to hand the keys to the kingdom over to China in just over 1 year. Art of the deal.
The US empire has been oppressing the world for 80 years and it’s rapidly in decline. Trump is not doing anything special. Countries are all jumping ship and the US is flailing around because it doesn’t have any other value than destruction.
Art of the planned extraction is more like it.
This feels like a ‘every accusation is a confession’ moment.
It’s a bummer that the adults in Washington chose short-term self-enrichment over the welfare of the country as a whole, and that is going to be abundantly clear once all the ramifications of this disastrous tariff policy come to pass. It takes years for new trade deals to take effect, so Donald gets to pretend his tariffs are good policy for now, but the economy in the US will be in a much worse place before 2028.
Why does he always come across like such a goddamn petulant brat?
Canada and China are making a deal, it doesn’t always have to be about your Epstein files. I mean it’s by extension a result from those but I digress…
Do not give in to terroristic threats or before long he will be threatening tarriffs if you don’t extradite a canadian that mocked him doing that little dance where you jerk off two giraffes that he does to ymca.
Or other such things, if he can bully you on this he will on everything. The US needs canada too so it’s an empty threat.
Seymour Skinner, being briefly introspective.
