Tariffs Catch-All

[lawtig02]

In other words, we don’t know how to get any deals done, and when we’ve tried to get them done, the other country has told us to pound sand.

Are there any Trump voters here that still think he knows what he is doing?
If Trump did nothing, we would have much lower interest rates, prices would be down, and the stock market would be booming.
But Trump screws it all up and not one person in the administration can give a coherent explanation of what their plan is.

You see the stick figure on the left in your avatar? Well, that's Trump and the other poor stick figure getting poked in the eye is a Trump voter saying thank you sir, may I have another.

Canada to adjust metal counter tariffs against U.S. on July 21: Carney

Canada will adjust counter-tariffs on steel and aluminum products on July 21 to levels “consistent” with progress made during trade negotiation with the United States, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday.

Canada will adjust counter-tariffs on steel and aluminum products on July 21 to levels “consistent” with progress made during trade negotiation with the United States, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday.

He did not specify what those adjusted tariffs would amount to. July 21 coincides with the end of the 30-day trade deal deadline announced after Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump met in Kananaskis, Alta., on the sidelines of the G7.

In addition to adjusting those counter tariffs, Canada will limit federal procurement policies to favour Canadian suppliers and “reliable trading partners” by June 30, according to a press release.

Third, the government will unleash new, retroactive tariff quota rates, at 100 per cent of 2024 levels, on imports of steel products from non-free trade agreement countries. More tariff measures will be adopted in the coming weeks to respond to “unfair trade in the steel and aluminum sectors, which are exacerbated by U.S. actions,” the news release adds.

Business leaders predict dire consequences if ICE purges immigrant workforce

ICE crackdown on immigrant workers spells trouble: Industry leaders - Washington Examiner

President Donald Trump's decision to allow ICE to arrest illegal immigrant workers has been met with dire warnings of economic decline if millions are targeted.

www.washingtonexaminer.com

“… The national United Farm Workers union told the Washington Examiner that immigrant workers are the backbone of American farms and that the “agricultural industry would collapse without” them.

Emily Williams Knight, CEO of the Texas Restaurant Association, called the loss of immigrant workers in her industry a “very serious issue” that is already having a “direct impact” on the state’s labor force.

“Restaurants are not a nice to have, they are part of a critical feeding infrastructure,” Knight said in a virtual press conference Wednesday. “There is a massive economic impact when people are not coming to work, they’re not spending in their communities and restaurants aren’t generating the revenue that’s required for investment back to the community.”

But others, including Trump administration officials and associates, have promised better wages for U.S. citizens and legal immigrants if illegal immigrants are deported.…

ICE has been pushed by White House Deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller to round up 3,000 illegal immigrants daily, nearly double the number of arrests as of late May. Since most large cities will not turn over illegal immigrants in jails on criminal charges to ICE, the federal agency has resorted to trying to boost arrest numbers by going after dozens to hundreds of immigrants at job sites rather than individual criminals at large….”

Dire consequences to American businesses is what Trump voters wanted.

Prove me wrong.
