I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.
In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.
Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.
@Kaynos72 @frankdedomiseur Bonne question, on saura ce soir! Je comprends l’intention, mais je ne pense pas que ce soit le move le plus intelligent. Dans tous les cas, c’est prématuré de le faire alors que les tarifs ne sont pas en vigueur.
@JacintheEveArel Les bouteilles ont été payées par nos monopoles, on aurait pu laisser le choix au consommateur. Les touristes américains en auraient acheté quelques unes au pire. Couper les nouveaux approvisionnements auprès de fournisseurs américains
@mustafa__jones@nonamexray@MichaelSteele Hard to tell how far the markets’ panic would have gone since the thing was sorted before lunchtime. Perhaps knowlegeable people can predict exact market responses, hope for all of us that’s the case, otherwise it’s russian roulette.
@Sanchez00298698@DimitrisSoudas Au contraire, ouverture de la journée à NY avec des tarifs et suspension des tarifs. Sur une si courte période, on peut voir l’impact des tarifs sur la bourse sans inclure d’autres facteurs contribuants.
@coloradochef17 @nonamexray@MichaelSteele Well Trudeau is an ass, and a fair part of this is on him. We will get rid of him soon enough, I can tell you that much. With so many countries hostile to the west, we can’t afford this kind of division among us.
@coloradochef17 @nonamexray@MichaelSteele But I am convinced that tariffs will only wreak havoc in our economies. It got too intertwined over the past decades to deal with border crossing fines, given the multiple border crossing a product goes through before being sold to the consumer.
@coloradochef17 @nonamexray@MichaelSteele Vancouver seaport would be a good place to start with. Narrow spot where tons of goods from Asia are getting in. 🇨🇦 owes NATO years of underspending, honest thing is to get this right. We are proud and honest people, this is a stain on our reputation. Gotta give 🇺🇸 something.
@A74050049@nonamexray@MichaelSteele Market went back up the minute tariffs were lifted. Some industries, like automobile, cannot cope with tariffs. 30 years of industrial borderless strategies can’t be reversed overnight.
@coloradochef17 @nonamexray@MichaelSteele US can withstand muuuuch more than 🇨🇦 and 🇲🇽 together as a country you are right, but not without pain for its consumers. Why inflict such pain, especially for a war with a boring neighbor like 🇨🇦? Fentanyl, migrants? I think we get more from you than we send down honestly.
@joeglow1977@nonamexray@MichaelSteele Well gaslighting one’s way into wins is something Trump can’t be beaten at. Tariffs cannot be implemented, that’s a fact and it was demonstrated by US stock markets this very morning. Reason is the way the North American industrial mesh has been woven.
@thomas_d1980@nonamexray@MichaelSteele And it’s kind of relieving that 30 minutes were enough for markets to signal the utter non sense of tariffs instead of letting our economies suffer for years.
@thomas_d1980@nonamexray@MichaelSteele Not a celebration, every one loses in a trade war. My point is that stock exchange dropping was to be expected. Businesses spent 3 décades building an industrial mesh that involves border crossing, 🇺🇸 businesses maybe more than others. Tariffs are a business killer to them.
@JDVance 200% increase is indeed a massive one. But 200% of 50 pounds only accounts for an additional 100 pounds. Let’s get real, Canada has never been a threat to american people’s safety.
