We have all heard about tariffs, but what is the
purpose and what do they actually accomplish? They are initially designed to
regulate a trade imbalance, but their effects can be more far reaching then
that.
They can also be used as a diplomacy tool. To stop the
illegal immigration on our southern border and to curb the influx of fentanyl
into our country, Trump had threatened tariffs on Mexico, along with Canada, China, and
Columbia.
In the first hours PM Trudeau had threatened retaliatory
tariffs against the United States. Seeing the error of his ways, he discovered
that to get oil from the most western part of his country to the most eastern
part the oil has to travel through pipelines in America. That added to the fact
that Canada has no refineries to convert their dirty crude into oil products
became glaringly apparent.
Likewise President Sheinbaum of Mexico put on a brave
front in the beginning but eventually saw the writing on the wall as did the
country of Columbia.
President Trump is a master of negotiation and within
24 hours had not only agreements with Trudeau and Sheinbaum but even Panama
came around and made agreements with newly appointed Secretary of State Marco
Rubio to rectify violations of the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977.
In essence Trump is skillfully using tariffs as a
negotiating tool that will offer our country increased protection on both our
borders and also with our military.

Trump did more in 24 hours than Biden did in 4 years!
Interesting that dems and Canadians talking about Trump 25% tariff don’t mention the current Canadian tariffs being assessed on our products in Canada up to over 200%!
On the left..a lefty stooge and his pathetic minions and on the right a saviour of the righteous people…
It's true, Trump has done more for all Americans than Biden has ever done but we need to start getting a few spotlights on VP Vance now if we want to hold the White House in 2029.
Trudeau and Sheinbaum folded like lawn chairs. It was funny to watch!
Finally, someone with good business skills
What was his book called? Art of the Deal?
Does not matter. It was effective,
