Trump’s Stupid (Tariff) Bullying Of Canada… Has Failed.


This is precisely what "Saint" (tongue firmly in cheek!) Ronnie Reagan warned us about in 1985: tariffs lead to retaliatory return tariffs.

And American families, workers and employers pay the brunt of the price. So too, again tonight as I ride the trains home from Midway Airport. Here is the latest, per the NYT:

. . .Mark Carney suspended talks and will take out retaliatory tariffs against the United States after days of negotiations to stave off new levies by the Trump administration ended in an impasse. . . .

Crucial trade talks between the United States and Canada to stave off punishing new tariffs by the Trump administration on Canadian goods collapsed late Friday, with Canada saying it would retaliate “dollar for dollar. . . .”


Geez -- what a feckless, and senile putz this Trump guy is.
