There's your problem, the subject and verb in that sentence never align

Today's edition of: Trump Said Something Dumb Again For Attention

More like market manipulation for personal gain.

Why bother reporting what Trump says? It's not usable information unless it's said to manipulate markets.

[–] Kichae@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

But it was said to manipulate markets...

And Canada cheered, hopefully our politicians are able to find a way out of it before that though.

That would be cataclysmic for the economy of all three nations. Truly an unforced error. I really think it's just bluster though.

He's saying it because he thinks he can get more concessions from both countries if he threatens to tank the deal.

So what you're saying is we should all be preparing for the worst because doing the absolute worst most self-destructive thing possible is exactly what Trump does in almost every circumstance and always has.

[–] assaultpotato@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Yes regardless of bluster or not we should be divesting from US trade and diversifying with other partners.

It's not bluster, the moron wants to end free trade with everyone in favour of his tariff regime.

CUSMA is going away and while business won't end between the US and Canada, it will plummet. Look to CETA/CPTPP/MERCOSUR, and our other FTA's for growth. Alter your supply chains away from the US, reduce the pressure point leverage they have. Don't view this as doom and gloom, but as a time to pivot and woo the opportunities the US chases away. We have what the world needs.

Like the TPP, the problems went away as soon as the US left.

While this would be pretty awful in the short term, both Canada and the US would greatly benefit long term from bringing heavy manufacturing back to each respective country from Mexico. Mexico would be pretty fucked though, since they've been the primary beneficiary of both NAFTA and USMCA (comparatively, excluding us companies.)
