- Donald Trump will “probably” announce a compromise with Canada and Mexico as early as Wednesday, which could scale back his new 25% tariffs on top U.S trading partners, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said.
- The comments came after the U.S. stock market limped to a close for a second day of sharp declines.
- The Trump administration enacted sweeping tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports after putting them on pause for a month.
They’re waiting to see what the fallout looks like, and trying to get better terms, or whatever they’re strong arming Canada and Mexico to get. I hope Canada and Mexico divest from us trade entirely and do not reward this behaviour at all or it will get worse.

This (relatively) small fry market manipulation is 100% elons M.O. it’s how hes done business when not fleecing the fed for cash. Its why he was forced to buy twitter for fucks sake. but they arent really taking the short term discount acquisitions over the long term, are they?
If they are… Its… just so stupid. If it is something else, let me know.
I’m sure repeatedly shocking the market with surprise tariffs will be good for the overall health of the economy… Right? Surely the market will bounce back every time tariffs are lifted?
A good economy loves frequent unscheduled shocks… actually it is what economies crave
Compromise on what? You haven’t even told us what they’re really for you dumb shit.
It’s clearly not a compromise on the fentanyl situation, and you haven’t talked about anything else that we’ve changed.
Are you just compromising on your own?

Who’s the ghost writer this time? Pladimir Vutin?
They are on a budget, so it’s some dude called Lasha Sukashenka, who is weirdly obsessed with potatoes.
Would have worked better with the order reversed but oh well 🤷
