Summary
President Joe Biden criticized President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico as “counterproductive,” warning it could harm relationships with key trade partners.
Trump announced the tariffs would remain until illegal immigration and fentanyl trafficking are stopped, drawing criticism from economists who argue the costs would fall on consumers.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum disputed Trump’s claim that she agreed to “close borders.” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stressed the importance of maintaining strong U.S.-Canada trade ties in response to the proposal.
I’m blaming the entire apparatus for not clamping down on corporate playgrounds dealing Russian misinformation. I’m blaming Dems for believing the fallacy you can’t be progressive in America and caring for donors more than votes. I’m blaming institutions that allowed the systemic dismantling of education that replaces civilian choice with ideological dogma. And most of all, I’m blaming the human race for spiraling down the same toilet bowl we always do when corporations think unions are a little too popular. This entire mess is just a chain of clown shows insisting they hold true wisdom.
