🇨🇦 Carney's Address to Canadians (mentions a Previous Annexation Attempt and Failure) Small excerpt: 1890 .Benjamin Harrison administration "McKinley’s 50 per cent tariff was meant to pressure us into dependence and eventually annexation by the United States. In reality, it did just the opposite." #CDNpoli #Canada #Tariff

Since Trump wants to govern by #tariff, the Democratic mid-term campaign strategy should make it clear that Trump's tariffs transferred $130B of wealth directly from US consumers to US corporations. This article details all of the Republican policies resulting in an intentional, massive & unprecedented upward transfer of wealth. I haven't seen a US news outlet lay it out this clearly; voters should understand all of this before they go to the polls. #USPol #politics

Negotiations between us, together with rulings by the #US #SupremeCourt, dismantled the initial version of the sweeping #tariff measures. Yet this month, disregarding dozens of meetings between our teams, solid technical arguments & documents I personally handed to #Trump, the US government imposed new #tariffs on #Brazil ranging from 12.5% to 37.5%. #Lula #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #ElectionInterference #coup #Jan6 #BigLie #JairBolsonaro

A year ago, I was taken aback by the publication, on a digital platform, of a letter from President Donald #Trump imposing a 50% #tariff on Brazilian goods. Its very first paragraph referred to former president #JairBolsonaro — who was #convicted last year for attempting a #coup d’état in #Brazil & is now under house arrest — making the political motivation behind the measure explicit. #Lula #Brazil #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #ElectionInterference #coup #Jan6 #BigLie

And after the wildfires in #California, #America is leasing 2, just 2 of them. Look at this map. Doesn't it seem like #Canada needs to have ANOTHER 50% #tariff levied against it?? RE:

So, the Trumpster wants to charge Canada extra tariffs if 50% because of wildfire smoke (any excuse). I think we should charge the US tariffs for the smoke … #stupid #trump #tariff #wildfires

“On Friday, #Trump said that “numerous European countries” had been discussing putting a digital services tax on US companies. “Please let this statement serve to represent that any country that imposes such a tax will immediately be met with a 100% TARIFF on any and all Goods sent to the United States of America.” He added that the #tariff would be immediately imposed and supersede any other prior trade deals that existed with the country.”

Writing on #TruthSocial #Trump said that “numerous #European countries” had been discussing putting a digital services #tax on #American companies & that “some of these countries are close to actually doing this”. “Please let this statement serve to represent that any country that imposes such a tax will immediately be met with a 100% #TARIFF on any & all Goods sent to the #UnitedStates of America,” Trump continued. #TrumpRegime #LoonyTunes #USPol #auspol #LockHimUp

The #USA, whilst in a stupid war, is annoucing 15% tariffs on everything. These tariffs are based on dodgy advice and these tariffs will also be challenged in court. And Trump will lose, again. already he lost on the refunds. The admin has to pay back many many billions back to companies. Whether those companies will refund consumers..who knows. The idea that "other countries" pay these is a lie. Yet he carries on with it. And why Bessent hasn't resigned..who knows what going on that man's mind. Once this is done - his reputation will be destroyed. #usa #tariff #war

You could do this as an Onionesque headline: "Medieval Arabic Terrorist invents the word "Tariff" to drive Donald Trump mad". #Trump #Tariff

#supremeCourt rules #trump #tariff under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) are illegal in peacetime - so all he has got to do is go war - give him a #nobelprize - quick!
