That is what American presidents do? Ha! Until now, that is what American presidents are SUPPOSED to do.
Based on news I’m reading on the Net Trudeau is not budging on
the 300% tariffs on American dairy products.
Trump is about to teach this “Brow Boy” a lesson on trade.
Trudeau’s stupidity is about to cost Canada a 100,000 or more
jobs.
The “Brow Boy” is way over his head.
Trudeau is probably like Obama, talks a good talk but has no clue how to actually do anything.
That’s I moved to America. The current leader of my former country is a p*ssy.
Not usually, but I can certainly get used to it. This is probably the biggest compliment President Trump has gotten in the foreign press.
I am not sure if Trudeau can make a deal.
Canada is in a financial mess and they are about to enter into a trade war with their largest trading partner. A trade war they can not win.
America is bigger and stronger and our economy is growing.
Canada is stagnant. The socialist have taken over building oil pipelines from the oil fields to the oceans (and into the US) but because they are leftest they gave veto power to local communities which means the pipelines will not be built. All the oil in the world is worthless if you can not get it to market.
Canadian Healthcare is a money pit. “Free medical” is not free and the total cost has been rising every year and is projected to be over 100% of their GNP in just a few years.
Military - what military?
Socialism is eating Canada. And like all good socialist Trudeau would rather be “pure” then do the right thing.
We don’t even want to know what the results will be with the hundreds of thousands of muslims that were invited into the country.
Will Canada be able to free herself from her Socialist masters? We will just have to wait and see.
*It's true. Margaret Trudeau bore Fidel Castro's son.
I heard something today I thought was genius. If true, as part of the revised NAFTA with Mexico, the Mexican government will pay the U.S. to build a border wall....
The wall along Mexico’s southern border with Guatamala and Belize. This would keep many Central and South Americans from trying to get to the U.S. through the southern Mexican border and create jobs as well.
Once done, maybe then they can turn attention to the U.S. border.
The past four didn't. They were all globalists.
“If Trudeau does not capitulate and do a deal with Trump this week”
I think the Canadians should be given as much time as they would like.
“Haste does make waste” is an old American saying.
If it is a good deal, they’ll take it after review.
Personally, I have my doubts locking into legally binding “deals” that run for years. I think trade deals should be informal, since informal deals actually have to be good for all the nations involved.
The US motor vehicle trade deficit with Mexico is about $70 billion/year.
What will it be after this deal?
Why not make meeting (or coming within $5 billion of) the goal part of the deal?
Certain amounts of manufacturing need to be done on U.S. soil for North American security requirements. It’s either that for a stronger posture or a greater risk of being nuked in the near future.
Trudeau has personally presented himself well on the trade dispute to his Canadian electorate.
I think the US needs to go the security stockpile route for aluminum since Canada can produce it cheaper generally.
At $50 million+/warplane, the US security aluminum requirement is in the range of thousands of tons at most.
As for steel, fairly close trade balance along historical norms should be the goal.
See my dairy comment. Dairy is the big problem in my American eyes.
US security depends on good US/Canadian relations.
NAFTA has been around for about two decades.
Canada can easily be given two weeks or even two months to review and decide without the slightest bit of coercion from the US.
