On Wednesday, in an interview with Bloomberg, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that Trump is “thinking about a plan” to compromise on tariffs that he’ll decide and announce later this afternoon. That could keep tariffs at 25% on Mexico and Canada but may include certain product exemptions, including autos.
The push to exempt autos from the tariffs came specifically from the auto industry, with executives lobbying the president and the commerce secretary on both sides of the border, sources and Lutnick said.


Comment: Trump does not have the capacity to think, or before he signs an order, he would accomplish such.

Thinkin' of a master plan
'Cause ain't nothin' but sweat inside my hand
So I dig into my pocket, all my money spent
So I dig deeper, but still coming up with lint
So I start my mission, leave my residence
Thinking, "How could I get some dead presidents?"
I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid
So I think of all the devious things I did
I used to roll up, "This is a hold-up, ain't nothing funny
Stop smiling, be still, don't nothing move but the money"
But now, I've learned to earn 'cause I'm righteous
I feel great, so maybe, I might just
Search for a nine to five, if I strive
Then maybe I'll stay alive
So I walk up the street, whistling this
Feeling out of place 'cause, man, do I miss
A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape of
Me and Eric B. and a nice big plate of
Fish, which is my favorite dish
But without no money, it's still a wish
'Cause I don't like to dream about gettin' paid
So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made
So now's a test to see if I got pull
Hit the studio, 'cause I'm paid in full



Paid In full - Erik B and Rakim

In a morning interview on Bloomberg TV, Lutnick said Trump would be making an announcement on whether some imports from Canada and Mexico would be getting a break from the across-the-board 25 per cent tariffs.

Lutnick is an idiot and will be thrown under the bus soon...

In a Tuesday morning press conference, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced tariffs in response to Trump's blanket tariffs, which include 25% tariffs against $155 billions of America goods, starting with tariffs on $30 billions of goods immediately with the remaining $125 billions set to take place in 21 days.Canada exports roughly $70 billion a year in vehicles and vehicle parts to the U.S. The only Canadian industry with more exports to the U.S. is the oil and gas sector, which accounts for roughly $160 billion per year. In the across-the-board tariffs that officially began Tuesday, Trump put a 10 per cent tariff on Canadian energy imports.On March 12, additional 25 per cent tariffs are set to be imposed on steel and aluminum imports to the U.S.

Ontario's Premier said he is not removing any tariffs; we can't have a monthly suspense doing business.
He has advised Trudeau to stand firm with the USMC which Trump signed, or we stick with tariffs.
Trump has realized he has made a big mistake. American border states are starting to call Washington.

Trump is such a moron..does he ever think; reminds me of transgender VIX?

Complaining about drugs coming across the Canadian border.

To get to the US border, one must cross US immigration...
They determine what comes into the country
So if drugs are coming in , Trump's border is suspect
You are not checked at the Canadian border going to the US.

Then why is there such a demand for drugs in the USA?
America has a problem!!
Correct such a problem, and such goes away.

But Idiot Trump is complaining about other countries causing deaths in America.

This is why he is into tariffs, taxing Americans to foolish to understand.

Oh makes sense ...like transgender VIX postings...

Do you realize that just about every item of trade between the 3 North American countries falls under NAFTA (stupidly renamed and pretend negotiated as USMCA?). Name change was just to fool Trumpets that
a. He actually did something
b. Discredit Clinton.

President Donald Trump on Thursday signed executive actions that delay for nearly one month tariffs on all products from Mexico and Canada that are covered by the USMCA free trade treaty, a significant walkback of the administration’s signature economic plan that has rattled markets, businesses and consumers.

But that don't even makes sense if you have a 3 way agreement and you offer to remove tariffs on one partner and charge the other? It is not likely that can be enforceable and 1 partner can dispute unless that is what Trump is aiming for ... to go to WTO and rip up the agreement. At this rate it seems like Trump only wish is to punish Canada.

The Dotard lambasted the president who negotiated USMCA which he described an a terrible deal.

He couldn't believe that a president would have signed off on such a bad deal.

"Who would ever sign a thing like this? lol

In other words, one's determination that Trump is a smart person is more a reflection of your stupidity, rather than Trump's idiocy, cuz essentially, if you had sense you would know better.

More back peddling from Trump. It is hard to figure out where they will land. Needless to say, they don't know where it will end.

Canada doesn't want any half measures and will push for a full removal of tariffs.
