I would say it has been far more a G-6 plus one than a G-7,” said Le Maire. The EU has threatened to retaliate with duties on everything from American motorcycles to bourbon. Canada and Mexico have also promised to levy their own tariffs on U.S. goods. In addition the rest of the EU as well as China is imposing retalitory measures.

Hilary win poplar vote but the way elections work.... Same thing here in Canada. We have a seats system by Province/region so the poplar vote and winning party/prime minister doesn't necessarily always match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxe Ford 3,481 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I'm on the fence here. On the one hand starting a trade war coud be disastrous. 'An eye for an eye' isn't the most civilised practise. On the other I feel we have to even things out. His behavior is ignorant and just plain rude! It's the world he's dealing with, not his junior high schoolyard.

'An eye for an eye' isn't the most civilised practise. On the other I feel we have to even things out. His behavior is ignorant and just plain rude! It's the world he's dealing with, not his junior high schoolyard. But the thing is not every Country he's picking up fights with has anything to "level out". Some places like China for example have unfair practices that other Countries have complained about as well and I get that But for example Hb my Country? We buy more US steel than the US buys from us. What level field exactly is he trying to level here? I know Canadian officials were also upset that he'd cherry pick numbers to suit his claims For example the US has an over-all trade surplus with Canada but he ignored service trade and only included manufactured goods or raw materials and energy so that he'd get the numbers he wanted to say Canada is ripping off US and that NAFTA is bad Like u literally can't trust anything that guys says There is one thing I can understand his frustration with my Country and that's agriculture (particularly dairy and meats) and pharmaceuticals which we have more restrictions on than the US. From an economic and trade point of view I have to give Trump that but at the same time I dunno about compromising our safety standards just to make Trump happy on a few details Canada btw also isn't allowed to sell more than a certain percentage of our energy outside North America under the NAFTA deal. And we export a lot. That's stuff in there numbers as well that count towards the trade balance against the US that wouldn't be there if the Americans hadn't demanded it for energy security Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
