Trump Tariffs work in less than three days!

[Say it aint so]

I've been thinking this, Canada has 1/10th the population, but some how still almost buys as much as the US, looks to me the US isn't doing their purchasing share.

Mmmm....no.
USA; 22,546,723.00.
Canada: 1,637,244.13

Biden accomplished the same thing with a smile and a handshake and alot less drama.

To celebrate Trump's accomplishment here is to revel in needless cruelty and contempt. This is not a proper Christian attitude.

Because that's not a bug, it's a feature.

thats weird because a quick google search says instead.

In 2023, the US imported $484 billion worth of goods from Canada, while exporting $593 billion worth of goods to Canada wich lines with trumps 25% deficit he was complaining bout

You're right sorry, the numbers I referenced were US/Can imports from all other nations.
Can imported from United States ($269B)
US from Canada ($410B)
The US as the worlds top consumer, consumes more than the next five follow on nations combined.
So yes, there is going to be a trade deficit.

I never said there wasn't I' just saying that given the size of the two countries, it appears to be a trade deficit the US has, per capita were paying more then the US. Are you the kind of guy that has has his family of 6 pay 60$'s for dinner, and a family of four pay 40$'s of a 100$ bill and complains your paying more?


And this is even aside from there is nothing wrong with a trade deficit, the US buys a lot of stuff because they need it.

doing quick calculations, january exports to Canada were around 660 million per capita, while the US was, 113 million per capita. in imports. So Canadians buy far more from the US then the other way around.

Thanks for the information. I hadn't looked into this, but I was wondering how Canada-US trade deficit is only 50+ billion dollars when Canada has eight times less population than the US.

yeah, it feels to me the US isn't doing their fair share of trades if anyone isn't, like I said, it's like a family of six complaining paying 60$'s for a bill at a resteraunt of seperate meals, and another family only paying 40$'s. Well you ate more. Or in this case, Canadians consume far mor then the US does. ALOT of our stuff, comes from the US.

Agreed. But apparently to the US President a trade imbalance is one nation subsidizing the other nation.
