    The best response to US tariffs is to make free trade deals with UK, EU and others. Free trade will win over protectionism. Protectionism is just dumb and counterproductive.

      I agree. Luckily it seems as if that’s starting to happen. It could be nice to see a closer tie in with the EU, but o don’t see that happening for a long time if ever.

      We need more trading partners that simple are not America.

      We have the resources the world needs. Let’s sell them to the world, and bring industry here at the same time.

    He said that last time.

    If they as low walk it they can still scare companies to break supply chains without driving up prices.

    We should enforce retaliatory tariffs as long as there’s a threat of tariffs.

    We more than fulfilled Trump’s demands, and he pushes through anyway.

    Stop trusting this guy. The next time he demands something, we need to firmly say “NO.”

      Other than the honourary title of “fentanyl czar” we were already doing everything that he demanded. The only thing that actually happened was that he got to take credit for deals that Biden made.

    We should be aggressively creating trade deals with other countries. Starting aggressively building pipelines, creating supply chains etc to Asia, Africa, and Europe. Invest heavily in technology and increasing productivity with ai and automation. Turn us into the super state we always should have been. Let the us turn into a protectionist Christian white nightionalist nightmare and take all the talent they want to turn down because of racism.

      You say that as if that isn’t exactly the goal. The useful idiot is handing the world to Putin, at least in Putin’s mind

    Are the tariffs “definitely happening this time” until Canada promises to do something they already agreed to again?
