Donald Trump on Thursday announced a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, starting Aug. 1, citing that Ottawa had retaliated with tariffs against Washington.
“Instead of working with the United States, Canada retaliated with its own Tariffs,” Trump said in his letter to Mark Carney, prime minister of Canada, posted on Truth Social.
Good thing they dropped the digital service tax for US companies…
They can bring it back just as easily
… and the gain from dropping it was???
Some people just like to get fucked
And not in the fun way!
But they already lost the advantage they had. The point of the retaliatory tariffs are not to make money, but to send a message.
They’ve already sent a message that they can tolerate Trump’s bullshit as long as it doesn’t hurt them too much when they backed down on the digital service tax.
Bringing it back now is a lot less effective than implementing it the first time around while still hurting Canadians the same amount.
Yeah right, what a bullshit theater…
