I don't think most Americans understand that the 35% and 50% tariffs Trump has put on Canada for things like potash, copper, nickle, aluminum, steel, LNG, oil and rare earths, etc, simply means when our industry imports those things they have to pay much more than countries that have no tariffs, and so we cannot compete.

They cannot pay 50% more on all the aluminum, copper and nickle they import and stay in business!

This is why factories are shutting down and thousands of workers being laid off..

And why so many corporations are moving to tariff free Canada.

The US is very dependent on the natural resources above, and when our manufacturers have to pay so much more they go out of business!

I don't see how this does not end very badly for America, with rising inflation and a weakening dollar, and bond market.

So close to four trillion this year? Bond market won't like that.

$1.007 trillion


The U.S. Treasury expects to borrow $1.007 trillion in the third quarter of 2025 to replenish cash reserves depleted during the recent debt ceiling debate. This estimate is significantly higher than previous projections, reflecting the need for additional financing to maintain cash balances.
