    Stand side by side with Canada and put their elbows up.
    Trump told Walmart to eat the tariffs – they aren't going to do that - and they will start showing the extra tariff price on products. Cheers!

    I'm pretty sure Trump cannot force private businesses to price their merchandise the way he says.

    Sounds like price controls to me.

    Yes, it does.  So much for capitalism.

    The market will handle it. 
    People price shop.

    Potash? The US doesn't produce any worth a damn. Without it, crops fail.

    Canada put their Elbows DOWN. 

    Nearly all of the "retaliatory tariffs" have been removed on US goods.

    Canada’s elbows are still up and the tariff war is still on like Donkey Kong.

    Canada’s finance minister said the government kept the 25 per cent retaliatory tariffs on tens of billions of dollars in U.S. goods, disputing a report from a research firm that suggested it had paused the vast majority of those levies.
    Cheers!
