It’s been interesting watching the response of those countries targeted with tariffs by US President Donald Trump.

Mexico faces 25% tariffs and after the predictable initial bellicose response, it has caved.

So, one month’s reprieve on the basis that 10,000 Mexican troops go to the border and stop the Fentanyl and the illegals. Trump win. This is how the threat of tariffs works,

Meanwhile down Panama way, President Mulino has terminated his country’s Panama Canal deal with China, immediately following a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Furthermore, US military shipping using the Panama canal will not have to pay a cent! Trump win.

Do you discern the trend?

Trump explains what is needed, cue instant rejection, then rapid acceptance.

Until we come to Canada.

Justin Castro prances out to camera and makes it clear that Canada will impose tariffs on the USA. This is a massive mistake! Close to 75% of Canada‘s exports are bound for the US, while only around 13% of American exports go to Canada. Canada simply cannot win a trade war. Even worse, Canadian oil travels from the west of Canada into the USA and from there back into the east of Canada. So will Canada impose tariffs on his OWN oil? It’s a mess.

But then there is a twist that I did not see coming;

This is delusion on a continental scale! The EU will also face Trump tariffs and that should give scum like Verhofstadt reason for pause. The suggestion that Canada could join the EU is absurd and shows an arrogance that Trump will demolish.
