WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump said he will announce on Monday that the United States will impose 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports, including from Canada and Mexico, as well as other import duties later in the week.

Any steel coming into the United States is going to have a 25% tariff, he told reporters Sunday on Air Force One as he flew from Florida to New Orleans to attend the Super Bowl. When asked about aluminum, he responded, aluminum, too will be subject to the trade penalties.

So much for giving Canada and Mexico 30-90 days without tariffs for "appeasing" him.

Before we talk about this we need the Democrats to explain how the transition to green energy can be done more effectively. Until then please do not criticize or question Trump.

This should be a lesson to Trudeau and Sheinbaum. You cannot work with or appease this guy. He will wake up in a bad mood a day or a week or a month later and stab you in the back. They should respond with tariffs, refuse to take his calls, and let him hang himself.

Wouldn't be surprised if he got pissy about all the memes about him getting played saying Canada and Mexico were already doing those things they promised to do to stop the tariffs.

Harris: Tax credits for first-time home buyers and lower barriers and more incentives to build new houses.
Trump: Raise cost of building houses, lower supply of labor, lower demand for labor, increase barriers to building new homes.

This isn't supply side vs demand side economics. This is a straight D- student playing "nuke the hurricane" with the economy (and other systems).

Trudeau isn't appeasing him (most of the so-called concessions were things already largely agreed upon with Biden as far as I'm aware), and was even recently caught on a hot mic saying that Trump is a real threat to Canada.

Silver lining that won't console Americans one bit: Trump going crazy on the world economy might be what pushes back the global needle on far right populism this election cycle. He might very well cost the conservatives in Canada the election with all of this, and here in Australia if we end up in a economic depression triggered by Trump and his craziness prior to the looming election we might very well keep Temu Trump out of office against all current trends and statistics.

Small comfort I'm sure but the world is watching Trump with no small degree of horror and might not replicate the US's mistakes.

the yes men probably kept him in his safe space until he saw something on the tv or heard something

edit: i do wonder if the news in canada and mexico actually portrayed reality, and said that trump just ineffectively blustered and got the deal that was already in place

What appeasement? They were already going to take those actions months before Trump threatened anything. Trump suspending tariffs was him trying to make himself look good.

I think he's just butthurt about being made fun of because the concessions that were made to him were things that were already being done and he just found out.
You sure? This kinda looks more like he was emboldened, to me.

They played along. "Had such a good call with President Trump. We are doing this this and that. The US is our alley now and forever." Makes Trump look good. Strokes his ego.

Seems his strategy is this

1: Announce Tariffs on the weekend
2: watch as Americans freakout
3: accept a deal that already existed
4: back down tariffs
5: claim victory.
