Trump declares national emergency on electricity

US President Donald Trump announced Tuesday he will double the tariffs on aluminum and steel from Canada, doubling down on his tariff war as stock markets drop.

In a lengthy post on his Truth Social account, Trump also said he’ll declare a national emergency over an Ontario export tariff on electricity and threatened to ‘permanently shut down’ the Canadian auto sector.

The only thing to make it stop is for Canada to become the 51st state, he said.

  1. This is a disturbed person holding a gun to their head and warning people if they don't do what he tells them to he'll pull the trigger

  2. When this nightmare government is finally booted out (Imprisoned?) will the people of the USA have the intelligence to realise that their much vaunted Constitution needs a massive overhaul to prevent the same disaster happening again? Executive Orders, what idiot allowed them. Apart from an immediate response to an overt act of War, everything else should go through Parliament , (or what ever you want to call it).

  3. so Flumps business policy of treating every issue like a nail and his only tactic is a sledgehammer, strikes another thump. He just can't stop himself can he. "Give me what i want, bow down or else" basically.

  4. If you need nothing from us why do you bother on our export tariffs? Because it raises prices to your people. You do exactly the same to them with the tariff, hitting him back, both are collected from your citizen. Take a free lesson on tariffs. Tariffs on imports or on exports are always paid by the consumers. Let’s say that Canada collects 25% on aluminum, that means that when your importer buys it, he needs to pay money to the Canadian government, this raises the price for consumer. Import tariffs are a little different, those are collected by your government from the importer, not the exporter. The tariff now now collected by the US government is still paid by the buyers, both ways US citizens pays tariffs are bad. Maybe now, you’ll stop acting like that or we will see the Dow Jones hit 20 000. Go Go Go. Don the con.

  5. So prices of everything will go up, tariffs will end and the price of goods will still stay up. They keep playing the same game and we keep falling for it.
