Nosey must have a good few Marshalltown trowels.
I'll take them off his hands if he can't abide the shame from being associated with anything Trump related!

Trump's tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China would cost the typical US household over $1,200 a year​

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said Donald Trump’s tariffs will be postponed by at least 30 days after he promised more cooperation at the border.

It follows Mexico announcing its tariffs would go on hold for a month, saying it plans to deploy 10,000 members of its national guard to address drug trafficking at the border.

Trudeau said on X: “I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.

“In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.

We already buy into their software, what new stuff would we import from them?
Not a lot IMO

Trumps negotiating style may be blunt

But gets results

So did pootins, so what. The UK has to stand firm with the EU and pursue a united strategy to deal with the orange eejit.

You mean he makes threats, capitulates and claims he won.

I guess Trump has learnt a lot from his cheating at golf

Trump's an idiot, they said.
He doesn't know what he's doing, they chimed.
American citizens will pay more for everything, Mark our words!
That's the problem with the left, they hate being right

prices have gone up in America since Trump took over

Trump has ended the affordable care act and cuts to medicines….so healthcare will cost more.

Trump has started deporting “illegal aliens” and now workers aren’t turning up……in the places where they work, like farms.


That’s the problem with the left, we don’t fall for right wing populists…..poor old Lirefighter falls for for the Bulls hit.

Possibly

Gun boat diplomacy is what is required just like the brits back in the day

Ask the Chinese to buy opium if they don’t send a gun boat out there and force them

He says we are "out of line" which line is that then?

All he has done is go through every country and find the ones where America has a trade deficit. Ours is very small, or depending on the way it is calculated, it might be slightly the other way round. That is why the language deployed against us is quite mild.

He will probably be mainly interested in us taking their crappy food and cars and GMO stuff.

Starmer treading a tight rope

And trump has only been in power a week

Impressive :

Trump still wants tariffs


He wants to slash tax for the wealthy
And get tax revenue from tariffs which are paid by ordinary Americans
