President Donald Trump said Monday that he expects to put 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting on Feb. 1, while declining to flesh out his plans for taxing Chinese imports.

massive_bereavement ( @massive_bereavement@fedia.io ) 13•2 months agoI’m pretty sure he doesn’t care. I’m also pretty sure there’s someone going to profit from this big time and that’s who’s pushing for it.

gregs_gumption ( @gregs_gumption@lemm.ee ) English10•2 months agoThis is wishful thinking. Orangic and free range will be outlawed for being too woke. All foods will be sprayed with DDT before being sold to customers just in case.
The last part was clearly hyperbole, but at this point I’m not sure the first part is.

With lazy headlines like this, it’s no wonder the average person thinks he’s talking sense. The tariffs will be on imports into the US from these countries. The tariffs will be paid by the importers.
