Trump doubles planned tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum to 50% as trade war intensifies

Russian agent in White House put tariff on Aluminum from neighboring very hostile country Canada, and plans to get it very cool and very legal from Russia instead.
The Russian agent has allegedly been identified, but Americans have decided it's OK to have Russian agents in the White House now.

papa pls no!

All pictures of him make perfect sense when you remember he's sitting in a diaper full of his own shit.

The U.S. lacks the production capacity to meet domestic demand for steel and aluminum, else imports wouldn’t be necessary. I.e. domestic aluminum only covered about 15% of demand in 2024

With a 50% tariff, businesses relying on these materials will still have to import, but at much higher costs.

Trump believes this will boost domestic production, and even if that was true it would take years. However, in reality, it will likely reduce consumption due to skyrocketing prices, leading to lower demand, layoffs, and eventually recession.

The 1920s are calling.

His responses sound like robotic Civilization responses. Canada is a high tariff nation because of you dumbass.

“I have instructed my Secretary of Commerce to add an ADDITIONAL 25% Tariff, to 50%, on all STEEL and ALUMINUM COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM CANADA, ONE OF THE HIGHEST TARIFFING NATIONS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD,” Trump posted Tuesday on Truth Social.

And he'll rescind them all by this time tomorrow.

Just sanction the US. Cut them off completely. That's what, they want, isn't it?

Well, just double the tarrifs on electricity to 50%, too.
