Do you think Trump will like the taste of tariff free crow?

A day after the March 4th tariffs went into effect – Trump called Canada and said he was going to lift the tariffs on some Canadian products and Canada said – do what you want to do - but we are going to keep all of our retaliatory tariffs in place until you lift all of the tariffs on Canadian products.
I think a few other countries are sick and tired of Trump’s deals and Trump will be eating a lot of crow.

Cheers

    he's pissing off other countries AND the American people.  Providing we still have elections, the republicans now in office may be out of a job com reelection time.

    The American people I know are not pi$$ed, we are HAPPY.  We are actually getting what we voted for and it is great.

    Those that dare to repudiate His Royal Orangeness are being threatened. With being "primaried" by the White House, and with PHYSICAL violence against themselves and their families by his base. It's Germany in 1934 all over again. They're his Sturmabteilung and I TOLD YOU SO. This post was edited by Slartibartfast at March 8, 2025 10:48 PM MST

    I could be wrong, but it looks like the tariff games are being used to manipulate the stock market. Example: Announce a tariff that will hurt the auto industry. Auto stocks go down. Investors buy stock at reduced prices. Pause those tariffs. Stock prices go back up.

    I doubt if Trump cares what the trade war does to the average American or Canadian as long as the rich get richer.

    Yeah Trump never did care what the trade war will do to the average family. And now it looks like he doesn't even care if kids develop Rickets. Trump just put a 250% tariff on Canadian dairy products.
    It might be a manipulating the market thing but I think with Trump it is a – do what I say or else type of thing. Cheers and happy weekend!

    If CA puts a tarriff, USA puts reciprocal tariffs on CA.   I got no problems with that.
    Maybe CA next PM will do better...bye bye Trudeau.

    EVERY SINGLE ONE of those is subject to a quota, particularly for those industries which are subsidized in the US. The bottom line being "don't dump crap on us that we don't need".
    That is NOT what His Royal Orangeness is doing. He's applying tariffs across the board from the word go, and this is going to seriously hurt international trade in general and the US in particular. A lot of Canadian retailers and consumers are boycotting American-made and this will escalate.
    Google "Smoot-Hawley tariff act", since its obvious that you never studied modern history.

    I know they are subject to quotas. 
    Point is tarriffs on US will result in reciprocal tariffs on said country. 

    CA has long been manipulating the Tarriffs Rate Quotas to prevent US imports.  That is what Trump is trying to address.

    Missing the point as usual. Canada, which doesn't subsidize its dairy industry, has a quota to protect its local industry from the dumping of excess from the US which DOES. (There's some waste that Elon can go after if he's serious about saving money rather than shutting down dissent).
    Trump is imposing tariffs on all imports to the US including products and commodities which the US cannot source or produce locally in sufficient quantity to satisfy demand. Potash. Lumber. Light crude (the oil drilled in Texas and the Gulf of MEXICO is heavy crude, much harder and more expensive to refine into gas). Aluminium.

    CA is CALIFORNIA, not Canada and I seriously doubt that California has a PM or assesses tariffs on domestic goods.

    The abbreviation for Canada is also CA.

    CAN. National abbreviations are invariably THREE letters.

    Canada doesn't export much in the way of dairy products to the US so this one doesn't matter much. Except in the form of "organic" products because Canada doesn't use GMO and very little in the way of pesticides - the climate takes care of those every winter.
