On Friday afternoon, Trump himself told them from afar, as a Canadian representative team was preparing to meet President Donald’s Trump’s border emperor to deplete new tariffs.
“No,” he asked by a reporter in the elliptical office when he asked if he could do anything to prevent the new tariffs that Canada, Mexico, and China would apply by February 1st. I said.
Trump’s oath of pursuing them for several months to impose sudden tariffs on the US neighbor is almost surprising. If the deadline expires, the authorities have stated that customs duties will be available for public inspections by noon on Saturday. Nevertheless, until the last time before the deadline of Trump, many hoped that he would return in Wall Street and Capitol Hill (Ottawa and Mexico City.
The Canadian representatives have been in Washington for a few days, meeting various administrative authorities, including Tom Homan in the borderline, and 25 % of the Canadian products promised by Trump on February 1. I tried to avoid it.
Foreign Minister Melanie Jolie in Canada has acquired her country’s demands to stop the flow of illegal immigrants, across Washington, which was armed with enhanced US borders. I wanted to prove the measures.
However, it was not particularly clear that Canada and Mexico can do it specifically to avoid new tariffs. At least, I spent most of January, and if I could, I worked to confirm that I could soothe Trump’s demands.
At the end of a week, I saw the first major retreat of Trump’s second administration -a budget bureau order that freezes a $ trillions of the federal subsidy and loan, which is a wide range of confusion. It was canceled after the confusion -there was almost no question in my heart, and many Trump allies tracked his tariffs with some abilities.
“We are not looking for concessions,” Trump said in an elliptical office on Friday. “We just see what will happen.”
Trump’s declaration he had not been looking for a concession did not look like a last word about this problem. When he first warned about his plan to collect tariffs in November, he said, “The drug, especially Fentanyl, and all illegal aliens will stop this invasion in our country. ”
Saturday movements can start a new trade battle. This is on a problem that has little to do with the trade itself. Instead, Trump seems to intend to enact domestic policies using tariffs as weapons. This suppresses the flow of unwritten immigrants and drugs to the United States.
Few in the White House, Trump believed that his own deadline would come and go without doing anything.
After all, customs duties are one of the few policies that Trump has been consistently supported for decades, and is a rare through line from his era as a developer in New York to his public office. (The other is immigration). As a candidate, he pledged to use tariffs, the most beautiful dictionary, to exercise leverage overseas.
Before he was officially swearing, Trump rarely signed his threat. The executives who want to speak from his plan, rarely gained traction, and Trump’s advisor said that the president would change the course.
The 12 -hour episode last weekend also proved an example for the President and his team. After the president refused to accept the decorated decorated decoration on a military airplane, the country retreated almost soon after crushing Colombia. Officials have demonstrated the effectiveness of tariffs as a negotiating tool.
Saturday tariffs are equivalent to the start gun for more expensive costs, supply chain confusion, and employment losses that may escalate into the World Trade War. Even Trump acknowledged the possibility of adversely affecting American consumers.
“There is a possibility that there is a temporary short -term confusion, and people will understand it,” Trump was handed over by reporters on Friday and even given the cost to consumers. I mentioned. “But tariffs are trying to make us very rich and very strong, and we intend to treat other countries very fairly.”
Fine printing is important. Trump spokeswoman on Friday suggested that there was no blessing period when it was implemented on Saturday. However, she did not specify whether the president’s order would open up a specific industry or product exemption. This is an important details that can dramatically affect how new tariffs will affect continental trade.
Trump itself is an oval office, and by mid -February, in addition to the import of chips, pharmaceuticals, iron, iron, aluminum, copper, petroleum, and gas, the discount on his motivation in consideration of tariffs on the European Union. He stated that there could be additional tariffs, in addition to all the threats that are rarely done. Follow the tariffs of North America and China on Saturday.
In the White House, the main advisor claimed a tough approach by demonstrating Trump’s willingness to track one of his top campaign pledges.
According to those who are familiar with this problem, Howard Lutonic, the former secretary of Trump and the former leading executive of Cantor Fitzgerald, a financial service company, is the biggest tariff approach. He was an important supporter. Stephen Miller, a vice -director with a wide range of policy authority, was another top defender in the west wing of the muscles opening Salvo in Trump’s tariffs.
Nevertheless, even Lutonic acknowledged the Senate’s confirmation of the Uratives this week that there were off lamps in Canada and Mexico to avoid the tough duty promised by Trump.
“If we are your biggest trade partner, please give us respect. Close your border and Fentanyl comes to this country, so it is not a tariff. It is a domestic policy. Lutonic, “said Lutonic.
“If they do it, there is no tariff,” he said.
Not all of Trump’s economic advisors look like Hawkish. Market -oriented officials, like Trump’s Finance Secretary Scott Bessent, claim a softer approach. Specifically, according to Finance Times, Bessent has advocated that tariffs at 2.5 % and gradually increase.
“No, it will not be accepted by me,” Trump told reporters. Trump added that he wanted it to “make it much larger.”
