Summary
The White House claims Canada has “misunderstood” Trump’s new 25% tariffs as a trade war, while Mexico is cooperating.
Trump justified the tariffs by citing trade imbalances, illegal immigration, and fentanyl trafficking.
Canadian officials view the move as an economic attack, while Trump insists it is a negotiation tactic.
If it’s a negotiation, not a trade war, then how is this not just them giving a counter-offer?
He literally said it was not a negotiation tactic.
That was a negotiation tactic…
Lmao.
Trump - We fired a shot at them.
World - over their bow you mean? A warning shot?
Trump - no, directly into them
World - do you understand how this works?
Fuck the White House - Canada please go all 1812 on it.
Negative immigration and 43 pounds of Fentanyl. But you guys go on. You’re so smart.

Edit: how many drugs came to Canada? How many weapons?
Oh bad things are coming.
Negotiation tactic for what? Mfer didn’t state any reason for them from what I’ve read. There doesn’t seem to be anything to negotiate except for a problem he knowingly created.
We didn’t misunderstand. The convicted felon, serial sexual abuser, adjudicated rapist, serial business failure, pathological liar, lifelong con man isn’t king of Canada. He can roll his executive order into a tight little roll and solve it way up his saggy orange ass. Fuck Trump and fuck everyone who was dumb enough, racist enough, or hateful enough to vote for him against their own self interest and the future interests of their children.
Poor Mexico, they think they won? Wait til next month and next thing that trump will ask them to do.
To be HONEST, in this unlimitedly-dishonest-“world”,
the whole reason that Trump’s trying to break Canada’s life, is to gain personal/national possession of the entire continent,
with all Canadians becoming illegals, & ALL the resource/wealth resolving to him.
It isn’t a trade-war, it’s economic, rather-than conventional/infantry, warfare, intended to BREAK Canada’s existence.
IF Canada’s so-called “leaders” …
( sorry for the bitterness, but that bitterness is earned, at all levels of government, just as it also is earned against the so-called “charities” of our world whose primary mission is converting donated-funds to wallowing-wealth for the executives, or the business-people who simultaneously “can’t afford” to have their employees have enough to live, yet somehow “need” to have obscene wallowing-wealth for themselves… There isn’t much integrity on this entire-world, is there?? )
… have ANY brains in them, they’ll immediately INVEST in as massive, & permanent, a trade-reconfiguration as possible,
to break dependency on the narcissist-machiavellian-sociopathy now ruling the world’s agenda.
This was visible years-ago, btw…
Well-established hopium may well cost us our country, too, just as the Democrat-party’s hopium cost them the US of A, entirely
( there isn’t going to be any 2028-election: Civil War Part2 rather than tolerating to be extracted-from-dictatorship is now the US’s fate.
All the Democrats who’re pretending that they’re going to win in 2028 are holding their heads “in the sand” as hard as they can.
Welcome to what the Abrahamic-religions call “the End Times”. )

All this was preventable, had people’s priorities been upright, instead of spineless/corrupt/indulging-oriented, as “profit” programmed our species into being-loyal-to…
