U.S. President Donald Trump says he is terminating all trade negotiations with Canada over an advertisement by the Ontario government that uses the late U.S. president Ronald Reagan’s own words to send an anti-tariff message to American audiences.
In a late-night post to his Truth Social platform, Trump attacked the ad, which he attributed to Canada rather than Ontario, as fraudulent and fake.
“TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A.” Trump wrote. “Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”
So I guess CUSMA is dead?
Trump can fuck off.
Fine, they need us more than we need them right now. I’m confident in that.
Enjoy having no steel aluminum or fertilizer.
Or uranium.
Or oil: most of their refineries are for heavy crude, the stuff we sell them.
Medical isotopes…
Also Putin.
Isn’t Canada essential for most of the USA’s toilet paper supply?
I think they’re using their own constitution of that these days.
They can buy all that from Putin.
If Russia sold ALL of the potash it produced to the USA, they would still fall way short of what the US needs.
Assuming it hasn’t already been blown up by Ukraine first. Russia’s industry is rather tied up right now.
