Stop buying American goods after Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico

Remember, they knew what they voted for.............

I think you mean 'Team Trump'

Which means we can stop paying attention to anything else you think.

Trump: "The UK is way out of line and we'll see.

The UK, but European Union is really out of line.

UK is out of line but I'm sure that one, I think that one can be worked out.

But the European Union, it's an atrocity what they've done."

WTF is he going on about

So many attempts by people to derail this conversation.

For some reason

Has it not though?

Certainly much more so than america which as MLK stated in Why We Can't Wait

"We are perhaps the only nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its indigenous population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade. Indeed, even today we have not permitted ourselves to reject or to feel remorse for this shameful episode. Our literature, our films, our drama, our folklore all exalt it."

There is a great book that contrasts the remorse of the Germans in regard to WWII and americans with their actions towards the Natives, which explains why the former is respected despite the Holocaust taking place just 70 years ago while the latter is not.

I don't want it worked out/ bullied into submitting
I want to be out of line
Arrogant git

So you don't understand the worldwide impact of tariffs
Oh dear
Or perhaps you're American. In which case... oh dear

His recent threats to put tariffs on the EU are apparently as they don't buy enough American cars.
Totally missing the point that they are rubbish! America needs to wake up. It may be very powerful but much of what it produces simply isn't world leading anymore. It needs to adapt to survive, not just bully boy it's way around

@Treaclewell Canada 3.85 sq miles, US 3.53 sq miles reasonably similar.

Populations Canada 41.5 million, US population 335 million. US has about eight times the population.

If Canada were to agree to merge they would probably want each of the ten provinces recognised as states, that would not suit Trump. He does not want them as equals, he wants them subservient.

President Trump says the US will "definitely" impose tariffs on the EU, after already announcing tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico & China

On tariffs on UK goods, Donald Trump says the UK is "out of line. But... I think that one can be worked out"

Well I'm replying on my iPhone via an app I purchased via Apple so no.

I'm a bit puzzled as to why T is offering 51st state status to Canada. Surely Canada is bigger than any US state, even removing the effect of Mercator projection. I think it is physically bigger than the tiddly USA, even removing the effect of Mercator projection. Surely the Quebec people would have a robust opinion about it. But if it were done according to size or population, with several states, then T would easily be outvoted. Wouldn't he?

China (and lately the middle east, such as Harrods department store and Qatar) own most companies/brands. Marshall (iconic amp brand from London) are now owned a Chinese group.

Who the current owners are doesn't change their identity though. China did not come up with Marshall amps, Jim Marshall did.

Liverpool FC are currently owned by a group from Boston, doesn't alter the identity of Liverpool as an iconic UK sporting institution. They will sell on, as will all those current owners of whatever brand/company they recently purchased.

The electric battery is a European concept (Volta). And many companies produce batteries, among them Panasonic (made by the Japanese, the global leader in electronics, video game consoles etc.) who have long been on the market. The lithium-ion battery (rechargable used in hand held devices) use cobalt, production of which largely comes from the Congo, and was first commercialised by Sony (Japanese).

And similar to the battery, the fuel cell, used to generate power for space capsules (getting man from earth to the moon) and satellites, was invented by Francis Thomas Bacon, a Cambridge scientist.

While the Nazis launched the space age with their rockets (led by German engineer Wernher von Braun), the first of which the V2 rocket became the first object to travel into space, once in space it needed the fuel cell to then transport astronauts to their next destination.

If people still buy from China why would they stop buying from America?

The US also gets free access to the Panama Canal, so the US already has pretty favourable terms with other countries. Panama would be within thrir rights to renege on that deal and start charging them.

I don't know where you got that idea from, all ships pay transit fees to navigate the Panama Canal. Trump was whining that American ships pay more, which is patently untrue and he used it as a false justification for his threat to seize it.

All very good arguments as to why it was so insane to leave the customs union (and the single market btw). Life outside of the bloc, exposed to the whims of the new US administration and subject to the - now that we're no longer at the table- arbitrary rule of the EU is just wonderful for our prosperity! (because we can't stop trading with our neighbours, believe it or not we've always needed to and we will continue to need to!)

I stopped using Amazon ages ago , not specifically about Trump. Dumped Twitter when it was banning feminists and see no reason to go back. Reddit. Starbucks. Clinging onto FB - several fellow wrinklies on there , too old to change. I disable it sometimes though. Don't see many ' made in USA ' goods in shops though?

Your president is threatening to invade Greenland and take the Panama Canal by force.

Your President has financially attacked other countries, and his own country.
