#PointRoberts, a U.S. community in #Washington_State, is so connected to #Canada that it advertises its gas prices in litres as well as gallons — and the #SeasideCommunity relies on its Canadian neighbours for essentials. This #AmericanCommunity worries it won’t survive a #TradeWar. #BritshColumbia #Tariffs2025 #America #TrumpTariff

Dear EU,

Force his hand. Call his bluff. He brand is smoke and mirrors. Make him enact a 200% tariff on all the French champagne his billionaire backers drink, but refuse to remove the targeted whiskey tariffs. His tell is his MAGA supporters are paying the price for celebrating his tariffs on you (even though perversely tariffs are paid by them), and they are pissed and he's afraid. This is how you NEUTER Trump. He's convinced them tariffs = strength, and they believe him. Don't let up. Make it worse. And by neutering him, you erode his US support and make his insanity a national family intervention problem and not a neighborhood trouble.
In 2017-2021, the US Democrats tried to apply norms, the Senate GOP put faith in norms, and refused to take the short term pain (by impeaching him making him ineligible for elected office and facing MAGA hate), they passed like dutiful chickensh*ts, so now we've ended up here.
I am sorry that Europeans will suffer because of retaliatory tariffs, but he is counting on you being weak, afraid, and caving. That's exactly how he, historically, operates. And if you cave now, the pain will be 100x worse. Look at America. This is you, if you cave. Don't go into slaughter politely, like our politicians did. It's only going to get worse. Sadly, Trump has declared the US your enemy.

"U.S. Representatives Don Beyer (D-VA) and Suzan DelBene (D-WA), who serve on the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade, today issued a joint statement on a House vote on a provision hidden in a Republican rule that would effectively surrender congressional power over raising taxes and tariffs on the American people to Trump.

I'm proud of #pmtrudeau and the way he is handling this whole #tariffs2025 nonsense being encorced on us by a country that has always been an ally.

#canada will stand firm on this I hope. We aren't always Mr. Nice Guy. You #fofo .

Perhaps there are no world leaders up to the moment? #Canada and #Mexico have been put in a terrible position, but in a #tariffs2025 race to the bottom, you don't cling to hopes, you race to the bottom. Both countries should close their borders to the #US by the time markets open tomorrow. Hammer-on-hammer is the only way forward.

Can’t blame them. Too bad. #Tariffs2025. Screenshot from the Toronto Star. Text reads: Trump tariff turmoil drives travel cancellations: 'We can't support what's going on down there'
Travel agency flooded with calls from Canadians scrapping trips to the U.S., and even long-term, warm-weather Snowbirds are putting properties up for sale after 'trust that's been broken.'
