25% Mexico and Canada Tariffs in Effect Tuesday

WASHINGTON (AP) " President Donald Trump said Monday that 25% taxes on imports from Mexico and Canada would start Tuesday, sparking renewed fears of a North American trade war that already showed signs of pushing up inflation and hindering growth. "Tomorrow " tariffs 25% on Canada and 25% on Mexico. And that'll start," Trump told reporters in the Roosevelt Room. "They're going to have to have a tariff."

But companies ranging from Ford to Walmart have warned about the negative impact that tariffs could create for their businesses. Similarly, multiple analyses by the Peterson Institute for International Economics and the Yale University Budget Lab suggest that an average family could face price increases of more than $1,000.

Starving american farmers of potash from Canada will cause a ripple- reducing yield so the price of grain and feed skyrocket so then ranchers cut back on stock since the meatpackers make the profit while ranchers subsist and then you can't afford to eat..

Trump tells farmers to have fun with the tariffs. Maybe he'll toss them a bunch of paper towels too:

Saskatchewan will have a lot of potash and oil to unload somewhere else. China and Brazil, I suppose.

GOP Sen. Susan Collins on Trump's tariffs: "I'm very concerned about the tariffs going into effect. Maine and Canada's economy are integrated. Much of our lobster, blueberries are processed in Canada and then come back over. We have a paper mill in northern Maine that's right on the border."

There's going to be hell to pay now that Susan is very concerned.

Trump Holds DISASTER Presser...

Will any of the press outlets allowed to attend use the word "disaster"? More like "beautiful" and "incredible". Worthy of a Nobel Prize.

8 - The TASS reporter won't allow that to be reported back home where Trump's positive numbers are way up among Oligarchs who are applying for Citizenship.

Trumpf's portfolio is in real estate, which is how the Russian oligarchs launder their money in the West. Sinking Wall Street or hurting US farmers doesn't affect Trumpf's businesses or personal wealth (or the Kremlin for that matter). Trumpf is pauperizing us as we watch our 401K plans nose-dive. Thank you Republican voters! You wanted a white man in the White House and you got it.
