I thought he didn’t need anything from Canada?

Now he’s declaring an emergency because Ontario is hitting back with tariffs on electricity. Why not hook a generator to his mouth? You could power the entire nation on his malice and ignorance.

The dumbass thinks jacking up the price of steel and aluminum is hurting us - it’s hurting American manufacturers a lot more. That’s one stupid mofo, right there.

There’s already talk of shipping a bunch of aluminum to Sweden in exchange for some decent fighters, so we can finally park these trashy compromised CF-18s. It’s a damn shame when you can’t even trust family.

And Sweden is already negotiating new engines to the Gripen, french or british... I have no idea of course BUT we're no slower than the US to turn the rudder. A divorce goes both ways. These americsn engines are a liability now.

The latest weeks have been siucidal for the F35 program. Sweden is happy to help.

Like I said before, in each tariff both parties get hurt a little, but the US put tariffs on many countries, so gets hurt a little many times, while each of the other countries only get hurt a little once.
There are plenty of companies outside the US who could buy the Canadian steel. How long will it take for such an increase in steel prices to get to the price of American made cars?
