I doubt many of Trump's supporters know what an avocado looks like, but when the price of maple syrup doubles they may think twice.

It's complete nonsense in respect to Canada though. Less than 1% of drugs crossing the border are through Canada. Also, there's no crisis for people trying to get across the border. If anything, people are trying to escape the US to Canada. It's their border too, if they want to tighten it up then they should add more security on their side of the border. Canada controls the Canadian border, not the US border.
He's pretending it's about security. It really isn't.
Trump won't be going to Ottawa any time soon. That's for sure.
Ah.
No, he's just being weird. The EU are totally out of line for selling stuff that Americans want.
And if we don't like their shitty cars then we should expect a trade war!
It would be quite something if countries stopped trump visiting on the basis of being a convicted criminal. Imagine the meltdown here from the right if we did it. I would love to then reply “so do we or do we not want to control our borders to stop convicted criminals from overseas”
Dangerous times as he won’t take it lightly. MAGA control America. They could do a Putin.

apparently Mexico has said it'll deploy more army to border, tariffs have been put on hold for a month. huh.
Mexico agrees to deploy 10,000 troops to US border in exchange for tariff pause
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has agreed to deploy 10,000 national guard troops to block drug trafficking at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Somewhat dependant on little old Britain negotiating some sort of trade deal with the Orange Bunglcunt and the biggest economy in the world which would benefit Britain.
Good luck with that
You sure. Mexico just surrendered to Trump. They won't be the last either Trump wins again
Surly a climb down by trump ? That’s what it looks like to me.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is currently giving her morning news conference, in which she is detailing the phone call with Trump that appears to have led to today's agreement.
The Mexican government clearly sees this as a victory. Sheinbaum's appearance began with applause after she asks those in attendance whether they'd seen her social media post on X.
According to Sheinbaum, the conversation with Trump was "long", lasting perhaps 30 or 45 minutes.

Imagine the meltdown if cars became usd3000 more expensive in the US
Anyway soon they’ll have cheaper Chinese cars made in Mexico.

saw a graph earlier, something like 30-35% of "American" cars - Ford, GM, etc, are actually made in Mexico.
