Mary Dettloff, director of public relations for the Trustees of Reservations, which owns Dunes’ Edge Campground, said summer bookings from Canadians are down 77 percent since last year, and September bookings are down 66 percent.

“They’re not upset at us,” she said. “They’re upset at the political situation in the United States.”

At Coastal Acres, more Canadians are canceling than arriving. Cancellation emails cite what the guests call threats to Canada’s sovereignty or economy, manager Anna Kuzia said.

“There’s definitely more cancellations than there are arrivals from our Canadian guests,” she said. “And the emails that we get are political in nature.”
 


“The U.S. Commerce Department said on Tuesday it is hiking steel and aluminum tariffs on more than 400 products including wind turbines, mobile cranes, appliances, bulldozers and other heavy equipment, along with railcars, motorcycles, marine engines, furniture and hundreds of other products.

The department said 407 product categories are being added to the list of “derivative” steel and aluminum products covered by sectoral tariffs, with a 50% tariff on any steel and aluminum content of these products plus the country rate on the non-steel and non-aluminum content…”

People get ready, there’s a train a’coming.
 
Our MAGA posters here have counterparts in China right now saying, “look at how the United States comes before China on their knees begging to make a deal.”

Russian citizens view leaked footage of Trump/Putin meeting and get the same message the Chinese are getting - Trump is weak and submissive to our leader.

 


“… The newly published version is not a legally enforceable pact, but it is a step toward one.

Its backbone remains unchanged: The United States will maintain a 15 percent tariff on most goods arriving from E.U. member countries, a rate that Mr. Trump officially imposed in an executive order that took effect earlier this month.

In a win for Europe, that rate applies to some of its biggest exports, including pharmaceuticals, many of which will remain taxed at 15 percent even after the United States finalizes an expected set of tariffs for foreign-made medicines that could be as high as 200 percent.

… Cars are more complicated. The United States will not immediately relax for Europe tariffs it has imposed worldwide on foreign-made vehicles, currently set to 27.5 percent for European carmakers. Rather, the two sides agreed that the United States would lower those tariffs to 15 percent only after Europe takes steps to follow through on its commitments to lower tariffs on imported American goods.

Specifically, the bloc must “formally” introduce legislation that would relax duties on industrial goods and agricultural products, including bison, tree nuts, dairy and many types of seafood, before lower car levies will kick in….”
