Mexico, Canada cozy up to Trump amid trade war threats while China goes it alone

 Canada and Mexico are working to avoid trade conflicts with the United States as Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House. Trump announced plans for a 25% tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada on his first day in office. He has long supported tariffs and criticized foreign trade practices for outsourcing American jobs. During his first term, he renegotiated trade deals with these countries and imposed tariffs on China, which did not lead to significant agreements like those with Canada and Mexico.

On the 2024 campaign trail, Trump is focusing on tariffs to bring back American jobs and increase domestic production. He aims to use tariffs to also leverage cooperation on immigration issues. Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, initially expressed skepticism about Trump's tariffs, warning of a potential trade war, but both leaders have indicated their willingness to continue discussions. Trump claimed they had a productive conversation about immigration and drug trafficking, although Sheinbaum contested that she made any firm commitments.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau quickly reached out to Trump after hearing about the tariff threat and flew to Florida to meet with him. Canada currently faces polling challenges and concerns over its immigration policy could worsen under a trade war. Trudeau emphasized the importance of discussing the strong ties between the two countries. Canada shares an extensive border with the U. S. and fewer restrictions on immigration have contributed to security concerns.

In contrast to Canada and Mexico's cooperative approaches, China is preparing for conflict. Chinese officials have criticized the new tariffs, stating they won't solve America's issues. Trump announced additional tariffs targeting China unless it takes action against drug exports. Chinese media have warned that Trump's tariff policies could negatively impact U. S. companies that rely on Chinese partnerships. Previous scrutiny of Chinese firms has led to legal challenges regarding bans, such as the popular app TikTok, indicating tensions in U. S. -China trade are likely to escalate under Trump's renewed leadership.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

James Ray Epps Breaks Federal Law Lying To FBI Agents, Again, In Never Before Released Leaked Audio: ‘You Are The Boss’

 The Gateway Pundit has obtained more leaked audio of James Ray Epps' providing materially false statements during an abnormally friendly interview with the Federal Bureau of Investigations about his role in the Capitol riot, a crime punishable by up to eight years in prison. Joined by his attorney John Blischak, a former FBI agent, and his wife Robyn Epps during a voluntary March 3, 2021 interview, Epps assured the feds while laughing and cracking jokes that he only traveled from Arizona to Washington, DC to protect his son James Ray Epps Jry and "Try to deescalate" a "Raging" crowd amid a terrorist attack he suspected would transpire involving a bomb. On the 8th, Epps insisted at least fourteen times that he only traveled to DC to "Try to calm them down." Conspicuously, in thousands of hours of January 6 footage, Epps is never seen with his son. Epps claimed Baked Alaska, who served 60 days in prison for protesting at the Capitol, was to blame for in...
