The USA has made it rather clear that there will be a tariff on the auto industry. Everyone knows (I hope) that the auto industry crosses the border between the USA and Canada 8 times, more borders if you include Mexico borders. It's a bit ludicrous.
Canada is looking at withholding resources, like those 330 million barrels a day in oil. Next is water.
What's it gonna (SHS english thing) be?
Sheesh.
Is this nuts or what!
Now we have the USA declaring war on Canada and Canada withholding natural resources from the US. Nuts, eh.
I don't get why Trump supporters don't realize the tariffs are already hitting home even though they aren't official yet.
Many do realize but they also realize this should have happened years ago.
How do you think things got this way? The workin man has been getting screwed for decades. This is not new.
American consumers (this would include the workin man) have been benefitting from cheaper goods and services provided by China and others for decades. This has allowed the workin man to have more money to spend on other goods and services to improve his quality of life.
Now you want to punish the workin man with more taxes.
You need to put on the pointy hat and go sit in the corner with the other economic dolts.

Did you disagree with it for the last 25 years while China killed us in it?
Or just now that we’re fighting back?
some how markets and productivity rule the way, even if USA closes its borders and ports to trade China is killing the former global hegemony of USA former Factories and manufactures.
Let me ask you, does taxing americans sound like a good game plan?
There is no "we" there are just private businesses trading with each other. Trump is interfering with the arrangements of these businesses and their employees. In the end his war will lower the quality of life for many americans by taxing money out of their pockets,unemployment, fewer choices in the marketplace, making products more expensive, etc.
I suggest "we" do nothing and let the american businesses run their own shops and make their own trade deals.

The EU is preparing a list of tariffs on US goods and will match US tariff for tariff, as will other countries.
So it's become the Trump's America versus the rest of the world.
Trump is doing a great job of bringing the world together, albeit minus the US.
