The fact that until recently American's weren't allowed to enter Cuba. I see it'll one day end up where no American's will be allowed to enter Cuba as long as the Orange man is in charge

Our connections to Cuba were cut after the Cuban Missile Crisis, so unless Mexico starts aiming missiles at our cities, I doubt it'll get that bad.

i thought mexico would pay for the whole wall? the consumer is going to suffer for this (anyone studying economics here? i'm assuming, idk if this is true). if this passes though and there are minimal consumer impact then ok

Hm from reading the original comment I thought it was just a comparison of the severeness of the political and economic sanctions and not the reasons why they were employed.

It's called a trade war. This is how a global recession can start.

 

This is also why Canada signed a trade deal with Europe and China these past two years: they saw it coming and are diversifying their trade as quickly as possible.

The end result of all of this? Economic decline in both the US and in Mexico and the global power shifting to either the EU or China.

but for now I'm calling bluff. Let's see what happens. The stakes for both countries are high. This is definitely a blow to the US' image forever, though. It's funny how Trump has hurt the US' position in the world so much already by simply Tweeting things.
