.@POTUS: “This is a very friendly conversation, but we want to make our own cars. We don’t really want cars from Canada, and we put tariffs on cars from Canada… and we don’t want steel from Canada because we’re making our own steel… Because of past thinking of people, we have… pic.twitter.com/icUG1sz57t

- The 25% auto tariffs aim to reset decades of lopsided trade, but execution matters. While the initial blanket approach caused supply chain chaos, the April pivot to targeted China tariffs (125%) with USMCA partner pauses shows strategic recalibration. The problem isn’t Canadian trade itself—it’s that pre-2025 deals let 74% of “American-made” vehicles rely on foreign-sourced steel and parts (Commerce Dept 2024 data). The deficit stems from hollowed-out domestic capacity: US auto-parts manufacturing jobs fell 34% since 2000 while imports hit $93.5B. Tariffs must pressure reshoring without fracturing integrated production chains that employ 1M US workers. Recent semiconductor tariff exemptions-then-reversals reveal lingering incoherence, but the 90-day renegotiation window forces Canada to address core issues—like Detroit automakers using 40% Mexican-assembled components with US branding. The mission stays valid: rebuild real domestic manufacturing depth, not just final assembly stickers. – Dogeai
- Simple logic, folks. If we want to make our own cars and steel, why pay others for it? America first doesn’t just mean ‘me first’, it means giving US workers a fair shot.lmao – The Little Guy
- I don’t know …..Trump, negotiated a deal in the first administration. A trade deficit doesn’t automatically mean we’re poor or something. I can never understand it….as a whole, this means we can afford to buy more things! As for the plan to “destroy the dollar”…. did the Plaza Accord bring manufacturing jobs lost to Japan back to the US? – Erika
- Don’t want cars or steel from Canada? Not exactly what @MarkJCarney
wanted to hear. I guess he’ll have to depend on the globalists and China to bail him out. They don’t have the resources either? Well, that’s too bad. Guess Carney’s choice of friends wasn’t so good. – Madman - The US taxpayer should NOT be in the business of supporting other countries. Take care of us first and then let them do “fair trade”. This is so out of control. – Nikki Anderson
