Sure,
That's why Trump won't even take Trudeaus calls. He just wants to negotiate.
Fuck America, enact a full trade embargo. Nothing in, nothing out; including oil and electricity.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Let's see how the red state targeted tariffs go first. I live in an area that would be badly affected by a total embargo, but we also voted against him.
This is the way.
If not tradewar, then why tradewar shaped?
Special trading operation
It'll only last 2 weeks, too
If it looks like a trade war, swims like a trade war and quacks like a trade war, then it's a trade war.
If it's a negotiation, not a trade war, then how is this not just them giving a counter-offer?
He literally said it was not a negotiation tactic.
I mean, one thing to keep in mind is that the Republicans stopped caring about optics once they secured the govt. They can now say and do what they want with little to no repercussions.
So, calling out their hipocrisy is good for documentation sake, but sadly, that is about it.
That was a negotiation tactic...
The Weave.
^^^its ^^^really ^^^dementia
The Trump regime is lying. Full stop. Don't analyze it further.
Lmao.
Trump - We fired a shot at them.
World - over their bow you mean? A warning shot?
Trump - no, directly into them
World - do you understand how this works?
He's scared because stocks were down a bit this morning, he's been fielding calls from panicked CEOs all weekend, and someone actually stood up to him. Good on you, Canada!
Edit: FTA:
we've noticed is that Mexicans are very, very serious about doing what President Trump said
Ugh, sorry, Mexico!
this is going to be one of the biggest supply-side positive shocks that we've ever seen
I don't think that word [positive] means what you think it does.
He’s scared because stocks were down a bit this morning
Never mind that the police roaming the streets will have orders of magnitude larger impact on it than the tariffs.
Ugh, sorry, Mexico!
Nah, don't be. Trump is lying about it.
I don’t think that word [positive] means...
The entire phrase is meaningless. He just wants to sound smart.
He's scared because stocks were down a bit this morning, he's been fielding calls from panicked CEOs all weekend
The cynic in me says this is all by design. His rich buddies are buying stock on sale this week before the market corrects again.
CEOs might be temporarily unhappy, but the true wealthy are making moves.
The market corrected within hours of opening. The arbitrage opportunity is already over and was so small that only people operating with large scale portfolios made any real money off of it.
Yay Canada!
Fuck the White House - Canada please go all 1812 on it.
Maybe it was presented badly. I thought this guy was great at making deals?
Negative immigration and 43 pounds of Fentanyl. But you guys go on. You’re so smart.

Edit: how many drugs came to Canada? How many weapons?
Obviously Canadians are just better at snuggling drugs without getting caught than Mexicans.
"No, see, the rule of the game is that I get to hit you with a big stick, it's not fair if you get your own stick and start hitting me with it."
Trump will keep moving the goalpost and try to shape our domestic policy. Keep fighting, do not negotiate with terrorists
Negotiation tactic for what? Mfer didn't state any reason for them from what I've read. There doesn't seem to be anything to negotiate except for a problem he knowingly created.
That's been the conservative MO for decades: create a huge, super fucked up problem that would never exist if they didn't force it into being, and then sell you the solution to it.
Oh bad things are coming.
Well, he's going to find his position eroded.
Poor Mexico, they think they won? Wait til next month and next thing that trump will ask them to do.
We didn't misunderstand. The convicted felon, serial sexual abuser, adjudicated rapist, serial business failure, pathological liar, lifelong con man isn't king of Canada. He can roll his executive order into a tight little roll and solve it way up his saggy orange ass. Fuck Trump and fuck everyone who was dumb enough, racist enough, or hateful enough to vote for him against their own self interest and the future interests of their children.
"It's just a joke, brah!"
To be HONEST, in this unlimitedly-dishonest-"world",
the whole reason that Trump's trying to break Canada's life, is to gain personal/national possession of the entire continent,
with all Canadians becoming illegals, & ALL the resource/wealth resolving to him.
It isn't a trade-war, it's economic, rather-than conventional/infantry, warfare, intended to BREAK Canada's existence.
IF Canada's so-called "leaders" ..
( sorry for the bitterness, but that bitterness is earned, at all levels of government, just as it also is earned against the so-called "charities" of our world whose primary mission is converting donated-funds to wallowing-wealth for the executives, or the business-people who simultaneously "can't afford" to have their employees have enough to live, yet somehow "need" to have obscene wallowing-wealth for themselves.. There isn't much integrity on this entire-world, is there?? )
.. have ANY brains in them, they'll immediately INVEST in as massive, & permanent, a trade-reconfiguration as possible,
to break dependency on the narcissist-machiavellian-sociopathy now ruling the world's agenda.
This was visible years-ago, btw..
Well-established hopium may well cost us our country, too, just as the Democrat-party's hopium cost them the US of A, entirely
( there isn't going to be any 2028-election: Civil War Part2 rather than tolerating to be extracted-from-dictatorship is now the US's fate.
All the Democrats who're pretending that they're going to win in 2028 are holding their heads "in the sand" as hard as they can.
Welcome to what the Abrahamic-religions call "the End Times". )
- sigh *
All this was preventable, had people's priorities been upright, instead of spineless/corrupt/indulging-oriented, as "profit" programmed our species into being-loyal-to..
