USA has more to lose, they are going to get tariffs from everyone while everyone will only get tariffs from the USA. It's like putting sanctions on yourself. :mhskeleton: Art of the deal :PresidentTrump:
Canada Pro-Tip have your leader read Art of the Deal. Maybe get it for him book on tape?

Want to know the funny thing?
Everyone is already putting tariffs on US made goods.

Trump is merely doing what every other nation says they want: pushing for a level playing field.
Either both sides put tariffs on the other’s products or no one does.

My friend if Canada doesn't have the backbone to play this game do you think other countries are going to sacrifice their economies to show solidarity to Canada which can't even stand up for itself in trade wars?

Other countries are getting tariffs too. Last one is Japan: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/us/politics/japan-trump-tariffs-auto-steel-trade.html :SWH2_Japanese: Trump is ruining 70 years of economic warfare, don't think you guys will recover from this once another administration is in charge. :sl_beaten:

"why should these other countries pay a small fraction of the cost of what USA citizens pay for Drugs and Pharmaceuticals, as an example?"

^^ this is what the trade war is really about btw.

Hes pissed off because other countries have laws to stop thieves like Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli.

Border makes no sense. "Subsidizing" made no sense. (Its not the rest of the worlds fault half of the american corporations would rather tank profits than just stop pushing gay propaganda. World leader in entertainment, has trade deficits with everyone. I wonder why.)

Quote from the Star

"Trump’s comments came after Ford announced he would pause Ontario’s 25 per cent surcharge on electricity sold stateside in retaliation for the U.S. tariffs.

“I respect that,” the president said of the premier’s move.

Ford agreed to temporarily suspend the levy on electricity that Ontario supplies to about 1.5 million customers in New York, Michigan and Minnesota.

The concession comes after U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called the premier to invite him and federal Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc for a meeting in Washington on Thursday.

In a statement on social media, Lutnick’s office said he and Ford had “a productive conversation about the economic relationship between the United States and Canada.”

“Secretary Lutnick agreed to officially meet with Premier Ford in Washington on Thursday … alongside the United States Trade Representative to discuss a renewed USMCA ahead of the April 2 reciprocal tariff deadline,” the statement continued.

“In response, Ontario agreed to suspend its 25 per cent surcharge on exports of electricity to Michigan, New York and Minnesota.”

get your facts straight folks
