That’s a good point, the US has had tariff-happy presidents before…but it was a backwater, I guess a majority of americans wants to go back to being a backwater.
We already have a bunch of different import tariffs on stuff - it’s not new. Most goods from outside the EU/EEA/CH have at least a small percentage charged on them.
But, they’re selective and used to protect domestic industries- so for example, cheese from outside Europe has tariffs on it to protect the French and Spanish cheese industries. This is fine, because we can buy those European made cheeses for cheap.
This is different because we don’t apply enormous tariffs to stuff that mostly comes from abroad. That would be stupid.
This is what I expect Canada to do. Turn to Europe. It only makes sense. They are a nato country after all. I hope they won’t fold as easily as mexico. Specifically because of Trump’s psuedo-subtle threats of making Canada the 51st state. He never said that about Mexico.
The EU should throw tariffs at the US and start stepping up trade with the affected countries.
The rest of the world could show them
