DJT lists all kinds of countries who charge US β€œhundreds and hundreds of percent” on beef, milk, rice, etc

US will charge everyone the β€œsame thing”

Just completely disregarding free trade agreements, market protection measures etc. It’s just senseless and simply, less than smart

However, there is no way Reagan would be permitted inside the MAGA controlled GOP today, unless he chose to be a silent coward like the rest of them.

Polio is beginning to spread, Canada needs to run some ads to help ensure all children get vaccinated from this terrible debilitating disease, it not only destroys childhoods. It returns to create more misery for the suffers as they age. Ignorance should not condemn a child to this horrific disease.

We need an international alliance against the US and its tech industry The United States must face consequences for economic warfare

As the United States launches an imperialist trade war against Canada and Mexico, it’s time for countries to come together to form an alliance against the US β€” and that includes rapidly curtailing their dependence on Silicon Valley.

The US can’t be allowed to get away with this.
