Temporarily for a month for Canada and Mexico. China has new tariffs
Basically appointing an investigator for fentanyl smuggling for Canada and sending troops to the northern border for Mexico.
Correction I copypasted the wrong new testament verse reference from a large collection on things the bible had to say on strangers. Both are old testament, but the list is long and very clear in the new testament too.
Oh the old testament is quite clear: Thus says the Lord: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.
Jeremiah 22:30
And the new is no different:
You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
Matthew 25:40
Now, if the Americans are being too obnoxious with us Europeans about tariffs or Greenland, we only need to resort to the classic European strategy of gifting them a smallpox infested blanket to deal with the Americans.
Is this elephant you speak of in the room with us?
