Commitment comes after week of chaotic messaging from U.S. president
U.S. President Donald Trump says he will end a month-long pause and slap a 25 per cent tariff on most Canadian goods as of March 4, claiming he needs to take action because “drugs are still pouring into our country” despite evidence that a crackdown at the border is working.
Trump said in a social media post Thursday that fentanyl imports are killing people and the U.S. “cannot allow this scourge to continue to harm the USA” and he will levy a 25 per cent tariff on Canada “until it stops, or is seriously limited.”
He also says his threatened reciprocal tariffs on specific goods set to come into effect in April “will remain in full force and effect.”
The commitment comes after a week of chaotic messaging from the president.
This liar won’t ever be satisfied. That’s why he cheats on his wives and rapes women.
We need to stop doing anything for him, and our government should call him out on every lie he dreams up, just like France’s president did the other day.
It’s an “emergency” so he doesn’t have to deal with rules. Theres no emergency, he’s just violating the deal and we need to treat it as such.
