Lionel Laurent recommendations for EU:

"A better starting point would be to shore up support for the #EU’s never-before-used “anti-coercion instrument,” which was devised during the first #Trump administration as a way to resist economic bullying from the likes of China or the US. This would allow for a list of counter measures broader than #tariffs on goods, such as restricting intellectual-property rights, foreign direct investment and access to public procurement."

The era of deep economic, security and military ties between #Canada and the #UnitedStates "is over," Prime Minister Mark #Carney said Thursday, after President Donald #Trump announced steep auto tariffs. Trump's planned 25 percent levy on vehicle imports to the United States is to come into force next week and could be devastating for a Canadian auto industry that supports an estimated 500,000 jobs. FRANCE 24's Christopher Guly reports from Ottawa.

Looks like poor MeHole kissed Trump’s arse and fellated his ego on live TV for nothing.

“Singling out Ireland while discussing the proposed tariffs, Trump said that the tariffs would ‘bring pharmaceuticals back’ to the US, adding that ‘we don’t make anything here’”

#Gabbard just had to explain why #Canada wasn’t in the threat assessment report. She answered that the report only includes countries that present the highest threats. Senator Heinrich specifically pointed to #Trump’s repeated claims there is “massive” & “unusually high” amounts of #fentanyl coming in through Canada to justify #tariffs.

... global audience sees on a daily basis that decades old military (#NATO) and economic allies (#Canada/ #Mecico) are left hanging in the cold from one day to another. The arcane and insane #Mercantilist trade policies with aggressive, crippling #tariffs will lead to less trade with the #US.

The potential to more than double the scope of #Trump’s #tariffs has alarmed economists & some congressional #Republicans, while other WH allies are concerned about the logistical challenges of a complicated new #import #tax regime. The precise nature of these new duties has spurred extensive discussions at the highest levels of the admin, w/VP #JDVance, #Commerce Secy #HowardLutnick, WH aide #PeterNavarro & #Treasury Secy #ScottBessent all playing a role in the talks….

Through his first 2 months in office, #Trump has raised tariffs on ~$800B in imports from #China, #Mexico & #Canada…. These #tariffs have sent the stock market careening & raised the risks of a #US #recession, while inviting retaliation against domestic industries by #trade partners.
Despite the blowback, snr Trump advisers are now publicly pledging to create a new tariff regime that would impose new duties on trade w/most countries that trade w/the US.

White House aides prep new #tariffs on imports worth trillions for April 2, laying the groundwork for an escalation in global economic hostilities that #Trump has called “Liberation Day.”

The admin has already unnerved investors with duties on #Canada, #Mexico & #China, & yet, advisers are readying a move to dwarf all previous tariffs.

The world’s most widely followed #StockMarket benchmark slid into a correction on Thurs, a drop that underscores how the 2-yr-long bull market [#Bidenomics] is running out of steam in the early days of the #Trump admin.

The move stems from investors’ growing pessimism about the whipsawing policy pronouncements from Trump over the past few weeks. On-again, off-again #tariffs & #MassLayoffs of #FederalWorkers have fomented unease on #WallStreet.

"Reading and watching the dutiful daily coverage of Trump’s trade war, you might well have no idea just how crazy it is.

The reality is this: There’s no good reason for it, it hurts everyone, and it’s arguably going to tank the American and international economies."

An excellent piece from Daniel Dale, demolishing Trump’s latest lie; that Canada has some of the highest tariffs in the world, a claim so patently false as to be absurd..cnn.com/2025/03/12/politics/fa… #Canada #cdnpoli #tariffs #USMCA #CUSMA


“In Canada, a slew of apps has emerged with names such as “buy beaver”, “maple scan” and “is this Canadian” to allow shoppers to scan QR barcodes and reject US produce from alcohol to pizza toppings.”
