Lutnick Says Canada Trade Deal Needs to Be Reworked Ahead of Talks

They should probably fire that guy...out of a cannon...into the sun.

You're right. American citizens will be getting the side-eye from the rest of the world for a lonnnnnggggg time. As a Canadian, I don't expect any sort of normalization between our countries in my lifetime. It turns out that we actually *don't* share a lot of the values that we assumed we had in common. At least, not at a national level.  America needs to get her shit together, and eat a whole fuckload of humble pie in the process.

Your assesment is correct and probably the only self-aware US take I've seen from a US citizen. The rest usually just "apologize" and then get mad when we are not immediately okay with you folks ... destroying the world

This is funny. You should be happy. Stocks are up, we'll for me at least. Making money 💰

We are well on our way to diversifying away from them. Asia has a need for our resources and we have to become less reliant on the US economy regardless. The world has changed and we need to move on. It’s a complete shit show over there anyway and Trump will wreak even more havoc in the next couple of years. They simply cannot be trusted.

>"We will adapt. As the 51st state. If we don't get a deal with USA." This you? Move to the US if you like it so much, and take your brand new account with you. You're no Canadian.

Have you thought this through? There are alternative markets for our exports. We have natural resources that the Americans desperately need (that’s called leverage). The resources we import can be sourced elsewhere as well.

Jesus, if you twits bothered doing some research and thinking with your own brains instead of mimicking propaganda you are fed, you may actually make a point but instead you just keep spreading stupidity. It really doesn't matter. The rest of the world is building closer relationships and the US can have what they wanted, to be on their own.

Tell me that you don't have a clue what you're talking about, without actually saying so.

It's incredibly obvious that you have no idea what you're talking about

What tariffs on US goods, specifically, should Canada repeal? Under NAFTA and the CUSMA, 99% of US goods were tariff free. The only exceptions were eggs, milk products, and poultry, which had high tariffs once an import quota was reached in order to prevent the US from dumping products into Canada. Imports from the US rarely had those tariffs charged because so few US products follow the food regulations.Canadian farmers have to follow. Canadians do not want American substandard food. For a while Canada did have a 25% tariff on all US goods last year, in retaliation for Trump's insane tariff spree. Most of those have been cancelled with the exception of those on aluminum and steel. Again, in retaliation for ongoing tariffs set by the US. As for "Canadians don't have the right to be angry with the Trump admin", you can f*** right off with that nonsense. From insults to our political leaders, threats of invading our country, and funding/support of Maple MAGA groups looking to tear the country apart, Canadians have every right to hate the Trump admin and the US.

Prior to 2025, the average effective tariff rate between the US and Canada on both sides of the trade relationship was close to 0. They still remain among the lowest in the world due to the conditions of USMCA. The supposed premise of the tariffs on Canada was about border security and fentanyl, not tariff retaliation. Although the administration doesn’t even have a consistent narrative.

As a Canadian, hahahahahahahahahaha.

Lmao bro you are dumb as a bag of rocks. 

It’s trumps f****** trade agreement that he peddled as the best in the world, all of history, and fairest to the US. Now, suddenly, unchanged…. It’s a ripoff? Are his supporters bags of hammers? Your posts are incomprehensible nonsense disinformation. F****** 🤡🚗 administration and cult followers. Truly, deplorables.

This is either an entirely uneducated take on US/Canada relations or purposeful misinformation.

You mean the tariffs the "world class" business man agreed to? Or the ones that are dependent on exceeding a quota that has not been exceeded?

Stop lying. The tariffs were initially put because of the "fentanyl crisis coming from Canada". Except that this was a crock of bullshit, as the amount of fentanyl coming from Canada was minimal. After this, they changed the goalpost and starting complaining about our tariffs, putting up a bunch of lies and omissions as reasons. Our dairy quotas are quota-based, saying they're at 300% is not true as said-quota is basically never reached and just there to prevent a larger economy from dumping their c**** dairy on our market.. That statement that we don't allow american banks in Canada? Another lie. They just have to follow Canadian law.

Which tarrifs are you referring to?

I got a bridge to sell to you

Le sigh

Are you joking?

Tell me you only read US newspapers without telling me

Damn. Missed opportunity.
