Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum suggested imposing retaliatory tariffs if Trump follows through on his threat of 25% import duties on Mexican goods.
Sheinbaum emphasized Mexico’s efforts to curb migration and drug trafficking, framing fentanyl as a U.S. public health issue and criticizing U.S. spending priorities.
She warned tariffs could harm both nations’ economies, especially their intertwined auto industries, and stressed the importance of dialogue.
Trump threatened to impose tariffs on Mexico and Canada, citing concerns about drug and migrant flows, but the US-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement prohibits such actions.
Golly, you don’t suppose the outcome of this trade squabble could push Mexico straight into China’s loving embrace, thereby achieving exactly the opposite of the ostensible goals of the trump tariffs? All whilst driving up prices in the US? Do you??
No, definitely not. The only way to lower prices is to raise them drastically. You see, if you don’t let these supposed “economists” and “third graders who understand addition” tell you otherwise, you can easily see that this is a fucking brilliant plan. That’s why the astute American public bought it. Because they’re so educated.
Your second sentence made me think of this.
Reminds me of that guy that said he “loved the
poorlyeducated” Wonder what happened to him…Russia is okay with it. If they could I’m sure they would orchestrate such things to happen
By doing things like supporting the rise of one of their assets to the presidency?
Oh
They are.
We need aliens in the near future like asap… if it was ever going to be a thing we need real life aliens. They will either kill us all or bring us together as a species and unite us all together… Maybe then we can get our shit together
Nah we’ll just slap some tariffs on them too
