Could a tariff war erupt between the United States and Mexico? A top Mexican official said his country might retaliate if the Trump administration placed steep tariffs on Mexico.
Racist America voted for inflation to rise. This is what people wanted. It will happen. The fat orange pumpkin will annoy so many American allies and destroy the US economy. This is what people voted for.
The only part you left out is that they did it specifically to do the opposite. Which only a moron could believe would’ve panned out
Exactly. They thought the criminal serial liar wouldn’t lie to them. Have they not learned that trump only cares about trump? Clearly not.
Always remember: the cartels don’t pay tariffs when smuggling drugs.
The border between the US and Mexico will be transformed into a military zone. It will be interesting to see how they handle all the private land at the border.
ImminentEminent domain probably. Then they deploy the military and spend ungodly amounts of money there instead of in Afghanistan.Eminent Domain. It is imminent though.
Yep… sry
Do you really think that would happen? Trump was already president and he couldn’t do shit about the border. The Republicans hold now the government, do they could pass extra funding, but I doubt it.
What extra funding? The US just completed Afghanistan mission that cost billions. Now they only need to deploy to the southern border… it will be cheaper. Plus if it really needs extra funds… if there is anything the US always had funding for is the military. So yes as a non Americans I see them turning the border into a Korean style border. Possibly declaring a zone around the border as a special territory to make an end run around posse comitatus.
That war was funded with debt, that the next generation will still be paying down. It’s not like there was a magic firehouse of money that just needs to be redirected.
Also remember… All Mexicans and iLlEgAl immigrants are criminals.
I see interests colliding in the future and I’m curious to how it plays out. Mexico is clearly going to be much less diplomatically available for Trump, so long as he keep his same rhetoric and plans going. This significantly lowers the leverage US auto makers have in lobbying Uncle Sam to use diplomacy to keep Chinese EV plants out of Mexico. Trump certainly seems to be driving Mexico toward China, and his economic moves in his first term drove China to Mexico, these bridges are already built, many of the Chinese goods that he kept out of the US simply went south.
What does the US export to Mexico?
Edit: mostly building materials, chemicals, machinery, food, and oil
People looking for affordable health care.
And soon to be people, millions of people. I wish trump would keel over.
In all seriousness, there are women in Texas who are escaping into Mexico to receive reproductive healthcare.
Bo matter how he dies he will be a martyr to his people. His death will fix nothing.
Who cares, he’d be dead
They already think whatever they want evn when it’s proven over and over to be false, lies and made up bs
You’re absolutely right and I hate it. Once he finally dies, prepare for neotrumpism, which is the same thing but more quiet and headed by smarter, prettier, younger people. And it could happen sooner than people are prepared for. Vance will be a heartbeat away from the presidency. Who do you think will be in his inner circle?
They can’t intimidate little shitler, he doesn’t even understand the meaning of the word tariff!!
Honest question: how does hurting consumers even more solve the problem? Is it a deterrent to the original tariffs or something else?
It’s a retaliatory tactic. If the US is reducing the incentive to do trade with Mexico, why should Mexico continue to allow trade with the US without penalty?
The US isn’t in the same economic position as it was 10-20 years ago, and countries have seen the crappy tactics Trump used last time he was in office. I’m sure they’re more willing to respond in kind or even cut ties this time if their relationships becomes more abusive.
