Yes, you read that right. If the EU admits Canada as a member, Trump will increase tariffs, which are paid by Americans.
I don’t know whether this is outright stupidity or . . . well, there is no “or.” It simply is outright stupidity.
First Thing: Trump threatens EU with tariffs over membership offer to Canada
Vivian Ho
Good morning.
Donald Trump has threatened the EU with “serious tariffs” after the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, invited Canada to become the EU’s first “associate member”.
The US president called the idea of Canada joining the EU “laughable”, and should the EU move forward with the plan, Washington could impose “very serious tariffs or stop trading with Europe”.
“If it’s a good intention, that’s fine. If it’s a bad intention, we’ll put very heavy tariffs on Europe,” he said.
“Good intention; bad intention.” What the hell is he talking about? And now he threatens to stop trading with Europe??
With a dummy like Trump leading us, is it any wonder we have rampant inflation and no allies? The only “wonder” is that 30% of Americans still support this fool and the useless weaklings of the Republican party.
