US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says "There's no postponing. [The tariffs] are definitely going to stay in place for days and weeks."

Days and weeks? Do they really think global trade will ever go back to what it was in days or weeks? I don't think they understand the irreversibility of the consequences of what they've done.

Last night, we came together to celebrate local business at the Tri-Cities Chamber Awards. With the trade war impacting our communities, supporting local has never been more important.

While Liberals and Conservatives hand out billions to giant corporations and billionaires, they continue to punch down on small businesses. We will fix it. #buylocal #supportlocal #canada #teamcanada #trade #tradewar #liberals #fail #conservatives #cut #reelect #bonita #portmoody #coquitlam #ndp

As Donald Trump's sweeping global tariffs took effect, U.S. farmers hoping for a profit this year instead found themselves facing lower crop prices — and the prospect of ceding more ground in foreign markets. japantimes.co.jp/business/2025 #business #economy #us #farming #donaldtrump #trade #tradewars #tariffs

>> Elon #Musk is now in favor of a full free #trade zone between the #US and #Europe. He even goes one step further and suggests that there should be even freedom of movement and work. He recommended this to #Trump.

#ElonMusk is not a serious man, and nobody should trust him because of his capriciousness.

Like root for #SecondAmendment one day, shoot and kill somebody the next day, sing "Oops! I did it again!" the third day, and call for #gunControl by the end of the week

One point is missing. When tariffs go up and down stock prices go also down and up.

While anyone outside not know when it is, MAGAs know and they get richer with buying and selling stocks.

Noone can clearly say they broke or it is part of tactics.

For free nations it only works out without them.

My idea about how #trade agreements should be done by the #EU: All products imported into the EU should adhere to current and *future* EU regulations. EU regulations should enforce #workerrights, #animalrights, #climate change protection, #environmental responsibility, #consumer rights and more.
All who adhere to good practices should be welcome to sell without tariffs.
Now let the EU work on improving regulations that support public values for the planet and all its inhabitants.
