Trump did this to cause disinflation. Too many consumptions and too many cheap Chinese products in the market. Business owners are profiting at an all time high taking advantage of this inflation. Trump's move may cause short-term pain but there it will help your wallets in the long term including home prices and rates. Trump aim is to bring down interest rates basically.

I am a conservative and I admit that Donald Trump's tariffs will have a negative impact on Americans. If you think businesses are going to pay for the increased cost of importing and are not going to scale back their labor forces are raise prices you don't have an understanding of business and finance. The whole purpose of going into business is to maximize profit therefore they are going to offset the costs by raising prices on goods for Americans and vice versa. This is a trade war. Thanks.
Analyzes tariffs through economic logic, predicting businesses will raise prices and cut jobs to maintain profits, characterizing it as a trade war.

Trudeau is a joke. While he is pushing his agenda. Fur starters, he fails to mention the trade deficit with the usa. So bottom line while everyone loses, canada loses more. The us can survive a lot easier without canada, while canada will suffer a lot more without the usa.\n\nWhen i bring cheese from the usa to canada, there is a 200% tax on anything above my $20 personal exemption, the save is not the same when bringing dairy to the usa.\n\nIf you want to be treated fairly, treat others fairly.\n\nAfter watching zelensky from Ukraine, Trudeau is pretty stupid if he thinks he will win this one.
Focuses on trade deficits, tariff asymmetries, and economic disadvantage to Canada in US relations, with specific examples of pricing disparities.
