Why put tariffs on Canada?
- Thread starter Illegal-shift
- Start date
Also, what is the point of Trump wanting to buy Greenland???
And why in the world is he wanting the Panama Canal back???
Trump always has a plan. One days you guys will put aside your TDS and start listening.
As usual, Trump haters are asking the wrong question. They want to know why Trump is being so mean to our ALLIES Canada and Mexico.
Meanwhile, here's what our ALLIES are doing:
Mexico: Looking the other way and letting criminals stream across our Southern border. Letting drug cartels push drugs into the US.
Canada: Also lax on border security, letting criminals stream into the US from the north. Letting China sell them its steel then passing that steel along to the US and claiming it is Canadian steel in order to help China bypass US tariffs on steel.
Right question to ask: Why are Mexico and Canada refusing to help the US with border security AND aiding our enemies in the process?
That's not what allies do. Allies help each other. Mexico and Canada aren't acting like allies to the US.

You're asking the wrong question.
The real question is why the they aren't higher?
The U.S is the most powerful nation in the world. You either get on the train or get off.

If Trump was the dictator/king that libs here think he is, that's precisely what he would do.
Trump clearly has what he feels is credible evidence that Trudeau and the politicians running Canada are controlled by China. So he wants to take over Canada before China does.
Canada cannot survive without US trade. It accounts for 20% of the nation's GDP.
Trump raises tariffs to Canada to attempt to et Canada to tighten its border. Note Trudeau refuses. Is that how an ally responds?
Trump is going to gradually increase tariffs to help make the case to the Canadians that Trudeau is compromised.
And it's going to work. Recall in his inauguration address, Trump talked about how the US is about to enter its Golden Age, but he also mentioned how the US is about to EXPAND.
By the end of his term, the US will control Canada, greenland, and the Panama Canal.
PS: Hey libs...when Trump starts really drilling home the message that China controls Canada and how they are the enemy, pay CLOSE ATTENTION to which politicians come out of the woodwork claiming that CHINA IS OUR FRIEND. Those are the guys bought and paid for by China.
Trump always has a plan. 4D chess, as @GatorTheo correctly said.
I will grant you there are some risk and I have reservations, but I think the three main things Trump is trying to achieve are: secure borders, he’s trying to entice companies to move back to America or move to America to build their goods. He’s trying to make it more appealing to manufacture in America.
Third I think he’s trying to force other countries to respect and value their ability to trade with America as opposed to just take advantage of America.
It’s risky, but it worked in 2016 and I hope it will work again now.

My question for this thread is based directly on Canada. We don't have a border problem with Canada. The trade deal we have is the trade deal Trump himself negotiated a few years ago. Canada is also are greatest ally, our closest "friend", most of our professional sports leagues have Canadian teams.
So my question is.....what is the purpose of tariffs on Canada specifically?
You're already in the ditch.
And the purpose was carefully explained to you. Trump is acting in America's best interests. If Canada was our friend, they would be enforcing their borders and wouldn't be in bed with China.
As the opioid epidemic raged in the United States, killing thousands, Congress in 2020 established a commission to look into ways to reduce the flow of the drugs into the country. The commission found that “Canada is not known to be a major source of fentanyl, other synthetic opioids or precursor chemicals to the United States, a conclusion primarily drawn from seizure data,” according to its February 2022 report.
OK, well if you think we are going to have a better border country than Canada........good luck looking for that.
