O/T:- Trump Presidency 2.0 [hic sunt dracones]

[drillerpie]

You're sounding very narrow minded. It wasn't just NZ Dairy Farmers, but pushing your crazy rhetoric that you and others do, you are so one-eyed, it's unbelievable.

I was counteracting the lie that Trump is hellbent on punishing other countries with tariffs, when in fact, it is the other countries who have tariffs against the US (as well as many other countries in the world).

I gave an example, something of which you and a few other of your ilk are unprepared or unable to do. The example was how Canada had gone against an international agreement, which they had signed, and were now being pushed through the international trade 'courts' to force them to stick to the agreement they had signed.

The countries involved were the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The US! The country's President who you are berating for putting tariffs on other countries.

You sound like you are living in a very secluded world. Unfortunately, the World hasn't been like that for years. Countries have to 'fight' for their position on the world economic front by any means that they have at their disposal.

As I said, Canada has been doing this for some time and the US are well within their rights to take any action necessary to make Canada conform. There will be only one winner, I guarantee you that.

I'm not going to reply in kind with personal comments and so on, but I'm afraid I am going to insist on you proving the claim you made.

Your claim was that Canada can import most of their goods to the US tariff free, while the US has to pay large tariffs to export to Canada.

As I said before, the articles you posted as supposed proof do not in any way support the claim you made.

If among all your bluff and bluster you would like to walk back that claim and change it to the much softer claim of 'other countries apart from the USA use tariffs' or 'Canada is involved in trade disputes with other countries' as seems possible from your last post, just say that clearly.

I haven't read any of these but Canada has a record in numerous cases both as complainant and respondent.
