So that’s why Trump wants the rare minerals from Ukraine….. He won’t be getting much of them from Canada anymore or it’ll cost him much more.

Whatever happened to private insurance? If they can’t afford to look after themselves, bill their governments. We are subsidizing foreign governments that are happy their populations are our problem now.

Canada's supply is manipulated by greedy business groups to jack up prices, but regardless, the outcome is that you have no capacity, hence no point bringing more people until the situation stabilizes for existing ones.

Can someone please tell Trump Canada is our friend. They have given lives in our wars. They are going to find other customers for their oil while our auto industry will be trashed. They will find other countries to buy their lumber while the cost of building American homes soars. It will be easy for Canada, Mexico and China to come out ahead in this trade war. Trump’s understanding of economics and international trade is at the sixth grade level- and not a very bright sixth grader. Finally where is Trumps plan to protect American families and workers? Where is the national resolve to work together to get through this?
Focuses on economic consequences of trade war (oil markets, auto industry, lumber prices, housing costs, 401k impacts) and critiques Trump's economic competence and trade understanding.
