Lmao ..hence why I bought all my computer shit last year ....mostly because of dwindling value of arctic pesos ...
This was deemed as evil of Jimmy to do because it “humanized” Trump.
I've waited this long for my new build, I can wait the extra week for those countries to bend the knee.
Go back to worshipping Satan, Jew
The trade barriers include things you really can't change without fucking a whole country up, like VAT. Some countries extract the majority of their fiscal revenue through VAT instead of income taxes (Trump has said he'd like to move for the US to become such an economy, in fact!), so they really cannot remove or lessen VAT without a massive fiscal deficit, which utlimately leaves them in a lose-lose situation. Some of them are in the same situation as the US, without the "exorbitant privilege" of the dollar, so they really don't have conusmer economies which means they really cannot lossen tariffs without fucking themselves up, they are just not sufficiently industrialized and are also not sufficiently wealthy to have a strong service sector. This is the case of some of the worst offenders like Vietnam or the SEA countries. I fear this doesn't really make sense in any way other than import substitution because the newer manufacturers don't really have any other way to grow their own economies, again a lose-lose situation. Mexico and Canada might be able to survive because they both have service sectors, and Canada specially has a much more stronger consumer economy (Mexico is still developing that part of the economy, it's wages have been steadily rising which is what you want when you want to develop a local consumer market). All in all, I don't think you'll see many countries that are taking American jobs backing out of tariffs (Mexico specifically did not have much tariffs with the US and that's one of the big offenders, they really cannot do anything on that front beyond reducing their VAT but they're one of those VAT-heavy countries, it's also why Mexican VAT is 8% at the border, Trump negotiated that in the USMC, they wouldn't agree to a full VAT reduction, just a frontier one).
From what I understand: The prior tariff announcements on Mexico and Canada are staying as previously announced. Russia isn't on the list because we've already sanctioned them to the point we aren't trading with them anymore.
TOTAL
Mexico and Canada have a trade deal so the way Trump is dealing with the tariffs is through another mechanism, mostly by calling a national emergency over the border. I don't know if he can just raise tariffs on them for another reason without going through congress or dealing with the USMC in another way. Also, for the parts that matter i.e cars and manufacturing, they don't tariff the US, so it's not like Trump can impose anything tit-for-tat with tariffs, just "trade barriers" which he has already negotiated down in the USMC. They have to be handled seperately otherwise they'd probably just get like milk tariffs for Canada and oil tariffs for Mexico.

He's not arguing for no tariffs he's arguing for fair tariffs. 10% minimum is for everyone if we have fair trades.
Sheinbaum has been surprisingly lax about the entire thing. It's very likely she's hoping for exemptions so long as she keeps agreeing to cooperate with immigration and dismantling the cartels. Canada is just retarded.
Personally speaking, those waddling fucks have had it far too good for far too long.
I've got some money to put into the S&P 500 tomorrow. Buy the dip.
