At the time, #DonnieDumbass bragged that his #USMCA free trade deal (his replacement for #NAFTA) "will be fantastic for all!"

An excellent piece from Daniel Dale, demolishing Trump’s latest lie; that Canada has some of the highest tariffs in the world, a claim so patently false as to be absurd..https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/politics/fact-check-trump-canada-highest-tariffing-nations/index.html #Canada #cdnpoli #tariffs #USMCA #CUSMA
#USMCA. Trade bill is #DementiaDon own legislation. He is ranting about "the idiot who signed it". #TrumpIsNotWell

The White House has released #Trump’s executive order on #Canada & #Mexico & the language makes clear that he is suspending the #tariffs — not pausing them. The order effectively abandons tariffs on goods that are covered by the #USMCA trade pact Trump signed into #law in his first term.

For crying out loud, like a drunk toddler & for seemingly no reason at all, #Trump has now reversed his #tariffs on #Canada.
Trump said Thurs that he would allow BOTH #Mexico & Canada to avoid tariffs on most exports to the #US for 1 month, specifically products subject to the #USMCA, the #trade pact he signed in his first term.
The move came less than a day after he granted a 30-day reprieve to #automakers, & hours after announcing a pause on Mexico’s tariffs.

And here we go again…
#Trump AGAIN manipulates the #market thus time by pausing the #Mexico #tariffs for a month.
Also he continues to conduct #ForeignPolicy affairs on social media.
While Trump whines about the US deficit with Canada somebody needs to sit Trump down and remind him that he was the one who negotiated the USMCA agreement in 2018. In fact, he was so proud of the deal that he insisted the title be changed from NAFTA to the USMCA.
It was his deal and now he wants to blame Canada and Mexico.
In response to Trump's trade threats, Canada could withdraw from the IP Chapter of #USMCA - Doctorow @pluralistic https://pluralistic.net/2025/01/15/beauty-eh/#its-the-only-war-the-yankees-lost-except-for-vietnam-and-also-the-alamo-and-the-bay-of-ham #cdnpoli

Mexico's wholesale, overnight importation of the USA's disastrous copyright system is a catastrophe for human rights - another Trump casualty, precipitated by the #USMCA.

In particular, the new rules are terrible for free expression, totally incompatible with Mexico's strong (stronger than US!) constitutional protections for speech.
