@ishuku In addition to Honda's 🇨🇦 invest, Ford just invested $5 billion on their Oakville plant.
Question is, will the North American's big 3 survive Trump's tariffs? It was already falling behind Asian & EU countries & paying more for steel and aluminum makes the even less competitive

Here’s the full transcript of the reverse edit of the CBS 60 Minute interview. There’s NO PAYWALL so anyone can read it. CBS completely rearranged the interview. I just went through and pointed out what was cut and what wasn’t. https://t.co/PlscNPxrlU

Ford’s reopened Oakville truck plant gears up to supply U.S. market

Total investment: $5 bn 🇨🇦

CBS heavily edited Trump's interview on 60 Minutes. The black and white clips did not appear in Sunday night's broadcast. The network removed sections where Trump made false claims and fabrications. This is part of his explanation about the war in Ukraine.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Ceding Ukrainian land for peace is just abstract words. It’s not only about reality, even more about philosophy. Putin was talking about Donbas, but then he decided to occupy Kyiv, our capital. His words were about Donbas, but the reality was about Kyiv. He kept saying he was defending Russian-speaking people and then tortured hundreds and thousands to death in Bucha and other places. So that wasn’t about Russian-speaking people.

This is why when Americans asked, “Can you exchange Donbas for security?” I said right there, “Can you tell me what it means? What security? NATO?”

“Not NATO, but similar to NATO.”

“Similar? But you don't want the answer about Donbas to be ‘similar.’ You want a clear answer about Donbas. This is your goal. And this is Putin’s goal, for today. What will you do if we have security guarantees but not NATO?”

They took our nuclear weapons. I'm not a fan of nuclear weapons. I think the world would be a better place without them. But the Russians took our nuclear weapons, didn’t they? They did. Then they stopped our integration into Europe, then prevented us from being in NATO. And in the end they occupied us. This is why it’s an abstract question. Nobody trusts Putin to stop if we leave Donbas. He will pause. Then he will come back in one year, two years, or five years. And who will be guilty?

@GrintonTim @bruce_barrett Trump has said since his election that he will not stop until all auto manufacturing has moved from Canada to the US.
There is no deal that will change his goals. Best to stay with our current free trade agreement.

@bruce_barrett How is this a loss for Canada? Honda Canada has also announced a $860 million investment in the next generation models supporting over 4,000 jobs.
Trump's tariffs are destroying the north American auto industry which is already struggling against Asian and European manufacturing

BREAKING: Honda will invest $867 million in its Ontario assembly and engine plants despite U.S. tariffs.

The spending includes retooling for next-generation hybrids and gasoline-powered vehicles, plus technology and workforce upgrades.

@WIgeopolitical Honda Canada has also announced increased investment in its new generation hybrid-electric and gasoline models.
Honda Canada currently employs over 4,000 people at its Alliston plant.

@WIgeopolitical Canada's 25% tariff is a reciprocal tariff to Trump's illegal 25% tariffs. If he increases it 50%, Canada will increase the counter tariffs as well.
All this does is destroy the north American auto industry allowing Asian and European auto manufacturing to surpass us.

@vivianamarie02 Buy something online from another country and you will see Trump's tariff tax applied to your bill.

@AmFirstMAGA2 @Patterdude @RonNehring The US and South Korea have had a free-trade agreement since 2012.
Any South Korean tariffs on US imports not covered by the agreement would be paid by South Koreans. Such a tariff could effect sales by the exporting US company, zero effect on american consumers.

@Patterdude @RonNehring The US and South Korea have had a free trade agreement since 2012, until Trump violated that agreement last year.

1/ I'll explain exactly how this happened because I'm the person at Forbes who calculates these numbers.

This is going to take some unraveling, but here's a spoiler: The president's answer here is nonsense.

[🇨🇦 Thomas Hense @Canoe36]

@vivianamarie02 Last year SCOTUS struck down Trump's IEEPA tariffs because they ruled that tariffs are a tax on Americans the power to tax and collect duties belongs strictly to Congress under the U.S. Constitution.

@IgorRyltsev Context: Despite the monthly drop, employment in Alberta remained higher on a year-over-year basis, up by 41,000 jobs (+1.6%) compared to October 2025.

@MidnightLeaksHQ When you spend $500 on groceries, you are incurring a $500 deficit with your grocery store. Are you going to stop buying groceries?
The US buys so much oil it runs a $90B deficit. The US only needs to stop buying oil to remove the deficit and see an immediate surplus.
