@pblowe2 @MarcNixon24 Trumps entire 2rd term trade strategy has been to do bilateral deals at the expense of multilateral agreements. He has publicly said that USMCA doesn’t work because Canada and Mexico are different. The 3 way deal is dead
English

@MarcNixon24 Their not nearly done on a three party trade pact till Canada is part of the equation
English

@Jeff_Eager It’s bouncing and festering on the bottom. At least that is the optimistic take. Hate to consider it can get worse.
English

@RMC19861987 US can withdraw at any time with a 6 month notice. So it’s a re-negotiation if he says it is.
English

🇺🇸 Trade deal negotiations. Someone’s lying Part2.
🇨🇦 LeBlanc: It's (CUSMA) a review not a renegotiation.
🇺🇸 Howard Lutnick (April 17): It needs to be reimagined & readdressed...there's a huge amount of bad in it.
Strong possibility 🇺🇸 will be invoking the withdrawal clause.
Economic disaster will ensue for 🇨🇦

@TrueNorthStr0ng @MarcNixon24 Both Trump and MAGA’s days are numbered and Mark Carney knows it. The next US administration will won’t to keep USMCA and to consign the Trump years to the dust bin of history.

@TrueNorthStr0ng @MarcNixon24 Trumps entire 2nd term trade strategy has been bilateral deals at the expense of multilateral agreements. USMCA is dead. Canada can still do a bilateral agreement but won’t be able to ride MEXICO’s coattails this time.

1. USMCA is not over, it's actively being re-negotiated and if you weren't a grifter you'd share that there's tons of bi-partisan support for it to continue. Removing it entirely is a death sentence to the US as well.
2. The deal is the best deal but was not even negotiated by Carney so it's not "his deal", literally makes no sense.
3. If the US tries to actually end USMCA (they won't) they would have done so regardless because their leader is an unhinged moron who thinks other countries pay tariffs
I know you're desperate now Marc since Pierre is SUNK like an anchor but this is just downright pathetic lmao.

@JigglyPants44 We 'suck' Lutnick because we have y'all over a barrel and always will. Suck wind.

@ScottRCarpenter When an anchor gets wrapped up with another anchor, do they sink faster?

With the reality sinking in that western Europe has no energy of its own look for more Europeans to agree that Canada should be a part of of the EU.
Anders Östlund@andersostlund
Canada and the EU are less than 10 km apart at the closest point. We are a natural fit. I welcome Canada to join the EU.

@cbcwatcher He is full of shit. China is the third largest US trade partner. He can be ignored.

"Canadian Prime Minister Mark “Carney has a problem with us; he gets on a plane and he goes to China,” Lutnick continued. “Does he think China’s… going to buy his stuff? China is an entirely export-driven economy. So what did he do? He came back and said, ‘Oh, we’ll take their electric cars.’ I mean, is this nuts?”"

"They suck," said Commerce Secretary Lutnick about Canada, according to a report from Semafor. semafor.com/article/04/17/…

@Michael57788258 @iealondon Because with a higher income, they can qualify for the higher credit lines.
English

@iealondon If people in the U.S are doing so much better than us, how come they have higher levels of personal debt than us including more than *double* the amount of credit card debt on average?

@ndag3412 @ClayTravis The 15% states aren’t doing any better at helping people than the 0% states. Arguably worse if you consider public safety.
English

@ClayTravis The tech oligarchs want to BE THE GOV’T that’s why they will promote arguments including this one that attempt to stymie our current system from effectively helping every day people.
English

This is 100% true. I’d add in that the wealthiest taxpayers are able to live anywhere now. Covid made many realize how feasible life outside of NYC, LA or Chicago truly was. Shift will only accelerate. Paying 15% of your income to NY or CA vs zero to FL, TN or Texas is crazy.
Mehek Cooke🇺🇸@MehekCooke
@ClayTravis This is a fiscal death spiral. Every wealthy person who leaves takes their tax base with them and the ones left behind pay more, which pushes more people out. Blue states are accelerating their own collapse and don't even see it coming.

@guyfelicella Imagine Californians complaining that tourism from Alabama is down 35%. Feature, not a bug.
English

Oof.. “In my 37 years in the travel industry, I have never seen anything like what the Canadians have pulled off,”
That’s what happens when you disrespect Canada, we boycott your ass.
You couldn't pay me to go there
Get rid of Trump and we'll talk.

You are ignoring the most important context. Lots of bands went through early members before getting the lineup that breaks through. Iron Maiden had some success before Dickinson but became stratospheric when he joined. Having most of the band from their prime era is not a tribute. Technically Kevin DuBrow was the only original when Quiet Riot released Metal Health.
English

Both Iron Maiden & Judas Priest (in 2026) have only ONE original member in their bands.
Why does nobody bust their balls about being a cover band or “demand” they retire?
Yet Quiet Riot, Foreigner, etc are always targeted?
I’m genuinely curious…
And I’m in favor of all keeping their BRANDs alive.

@VeryBrexitProbs No, we want them to defend themselves without the US.
English

MAGA thinks Europe can't defend itself without America. Here's what they don't know.
1. France and Britain have 515 nuclear warheads and 8 nuclear missile submarines.
2. European defence spending hit €481 billion this year. That's more than Russia and China spend combined. The EU's ReArm Europe plan is mobilising another €800 billion.
3. European countries have over 1.7 million active troops. Russia has 1.3 million.
4. EU and UK air forces fly over 1,400 combat aircraft. Their navies have five aircraft carriers, over 60 submarines, more than 120 frigates and destroyers.
5. Europe has over 6,000 artillery pieces and that's before the biggest rearmament wave since the Cold War. Poland alone is adding 212 new howitzers.
6. The British SAS invented modern special forces. The US copied them to build Delta Force. From France's Foreign Legion to Poland's GROM, Europe's elite units are among the deadliest on earth.
7. Europe already has joint military commands ready to fight. The UK leads a 10-nation rapid reaction force across Northern Europe and the Arctic. Finland alone can mobilise 900,000 trained reservists all prepared to fight in arctic conditions.
8. Europe has its own satellite navigation (Galileo), its own defence programme (75 active projects) and is building its own rapid deployment force.
The "helpless Europe" story was never about defence.
It was about keeping Europe dependent and buying American weapons, relying on American intelligence, following American foreign policy.
Thanks to Trump, that now ends.

@MousebirdN @KATUNews She did run in the primary before that. Didn’t go well
English

@KATUNews She didn't have to run a primary race last time. It'll be interesting to watch her actually debate viable candidates
English

Former Vice President Kamala Harris announced on Friday that she is "thinking about" running for president again in 2028.

@zapatas_mom We are not afraid of them as an option. We are afraid of not having the choice. If people want them, there will be a market for it. But I like my big house and cars.

@KATUNews Anyone in Clackamas or Washington County in the Metro boundary is already paying a separate tax for this. Enough.
English

Clackamas County leaders have decided not to give Portland the $4 million it requested for homeless shelters in the city, dealing a setback to the latest effort to address the houselessness crisis. katu.com/news/local/cla…

@RodKahx How sad that the best you have is that it might have been used but not really. The operators might have had maple syrup on their pancakes before the rescue. Maybe.
English

@LokiJulianus There plan was not kill American soldier but destroy as many American planes as they could...... And so far I'd say mission successful.
