US President Donald Trump ramped up a burgeoning trade war with Canada, saying he will double tariffs set to take effect within hours on all imported steel and aluminium products from Canada to 50%.

US President Donald Trump has today announced massive new tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium, while threatening to “shut down” its car industry and saying the best way to end the trade war was for Washington’s ally to be absorbed into the US.

    This should go for all citizens, if you trade then it should be public record. We should be able to see everyone’s stock history in case they ever run for office we can look at their trading history to look for conflicts of interest.

      That’s a stretch. Normal citizens buying some nominal amount of shares of Company XYZ 5 years ago doesn’t mean there’s a conflict of interest now, especially if they were sold just as long ago. For if someone might run for office? 99.5% of people won’t.

      It’s just undue surveillance on normal people.
