The U.S., Canada, and Mexico have a free trade agreement NAFTA changed to USMCA under Trump in his last term of office. It was supposed to encourage mutual trade and benefits to the three N. American partner countries has a term of 14 years with a renewable option. This is a trade agreement contract among allies and is the basis for all sorts of supply lines and investments. Violating that contract will have all sorts of consequences not to mention a huge blow to the reputation of the U.S.
The promised tariffs on the EU will bring Mexico and Canada closer to the EU, perhaps even allowing them to become full members to offset losses in the U.S. market.
It just occurred to me that there are even greater consequences than the violation of agreements with Canada and Mexico. Trump is also threatening Panama and his neo-imperialist attitude toward Central/South America is likely to be a shot in the arm for the China-dominated BRICS organization dedicated to providing an alternative to U.S. economic hegemony. Of course, several authoritarian S. American countries have already shown interest, but with Trump's chaos and aggression, others might want to join for self-defense and an alternative if the U.S. economy becomes a train wreck. This is China's entre into increased presence in the Americas. Currently, BRICS includes half the world's population and Trump's blundering is sure the increase interest in a "Plan B" economic option. Trump is opening long festering wounds in the Americas and the U.S. is no longer the only game in town. Violate USMCA at your own peril.
You are right - the BRICS plan is too often overlooked. Combine that with China's loan agreements around the world, and that option begins to take real shape. The EU will benefit as well. Everyone gains except America.
Yeah, BRICS has until now played defense, attracting countries that the West ignored or shunned. With Trump's aggressive imperialism, the organization can go on the offensive and become a more serious alternative to Western hegemony. This is a serious shift in economic power.
Canada: But, but we put up cameras and talked about drones and big spy towers and stuff and Justin went to visit you and Danielle cupped you balls and people showed you stats and videos of the very quiet border so why are you saying now that nothing can stop the tariffs?!
U.S.: HAHAHAHAHAHA because 🖕 you, that's why. Stoopid Canuck cucks.
