1st Feb 25% tariff on Mexico + Canada, 10% on China

I think you are just showing your bias.

I'm waiting to see what he's done, achieved, won

I'm watching the headlines show different to actuality

Why don't you set out what those details are. Be clear to show how America is now worse off.

He has used the biggest gun in his locker for almost zero gain. That is why America is worse off. Have you heard about the little boy who cried wolf. Canada has agreed to spend a puny $200m extra on security. And appoint a "fentanyl tsar".

Another delusional post from a fellow Trump Hater.

Almost zero gain? So he didn't get his agenda top of mind with every world leader and he didn't get his agenda immediately actioned.

He's demonstrated that he needs to be taken seriously and listened to.

Again, I don't like him, I'm not quite sure what he has going on in his head, but you can't take away his skills and ability.

It is not a "crystal ball" though, is it?

It is a widely held opinion of many people well-qualified to hold one, based on knowledge of previous such courses of action.

Nothing more, nothing less.

He is the President of the USA. I think that's a given

How did that work for Biden?

I don't get what he has achieved. He threatened to destroy Canada's economy and put millions of people out of work. And they said OK, we'll spend an extra $200m and call somebody a "fentanyl tsar". He reminds me more and more of Dr Evil.

Pretty well most of the time. Softlee softlee catchee monkee!

So, Trump has got less troops than last time, and the same number as Biden. Yea, what a win...

"In 2019, Mexico sent 15,000 troops to the border to halt US-bound migration, external, following pressure from Trump during his first term in office.

There was also a deployment of 10,000 Mexican troops at the border agreed under President Biden in 2021 in an effort to stem migration."

Trump's 10% tariff on China begins as Beijing plans retaliation on US energy and some cars

China's tariffs - due to begin next Monday - would also apply to US oil and farm machinery, but more talks are due this week.

So how can they order 10000 troops to the border if they are already there . Would it be because they had been withdrawn under Biden

Nobody really knows. But I would say it was most likely a face saving measure for Trump.

i would have thought mexican president would have known and replied but we already have the ten thousand there instead of ok we will send ten thousand

No. Because this whole episode has just confused every world leader as to what his agenda is.
