I feel sorry for Americans. I can't imagine how they are feeling. The closest I could imagine is Brexit, this is basically Brexit on acid for you guys. Stay strong Americans. Please don't tax the shit out of us.

We are around 400 years late but time to pay up on taxes.

Trump vows tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China on day one

Donald Trump says he will hit China, Mexico and Canada with new tariffs on day one of his presidency, in an effort to force them to crack down on illegal immigration and drug smuggling into the US.

The US president-elect said he would sign an executive order imposing a 25% tariff on all goods coming from Mexico and Canada, after being inaugurated on 20 January 2025.

He also said "we will be charging China an additional 10% tariff, above any additional tariffs" until it cracked down on fentanyl smuggling.

Mexican president is planning tariffs on us in retaliation.

MEXICO CITY, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday warned U.S. President-elect Donald Trump of dire economic consequences for both countries from tariffs and suggested possible retaliation following his threat of across-the-board tariffs of 25% on Mexico and Canada.
"One tariff will follow another in response and so on, until we put our common businesses at risk," Sheinbaum said in a letter to Trump, which she read aloud in a press conference, warning that tariffs would cause inflation and job losses in both countries.
