Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced retaliatory tariffs after Donald Trump confirmed 25% tariffs on Canadian goods and 10% on energy, set to take effect at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.
Trump justified the move by linking it to fentanyl smuggling concerns.
Trudeau called the tariffs “unjustified” and imposed 25% tariffs on $155 billion in U.S. goods, with $30 billion effective immediately and the rest in 21 days.
He warned of price hikes and job losses in the U.S., arguing the move violates Trump’s own trade agreement from his last term.
The polls I saw said the opposite.
And that’s ignoring that a large percentage of those who do still support our are choosing to believe their messiah over reality and think that it will make everything cheaper; I do believe that as soon as it’s no longer deniable a large chunk will turn on him. But unfortunately not all of them since plenty will be fully prepared to just blame someone else anyway
