The US president Donald Trump recognized Sunday that duty which announced on Saturday to the imports of Canada, Mexico and China will cause “pain” to the United Statesbut justified them that the result “will deserve the price to pay.”
Trump yesterday signed three executive orders with the measures that will enter into force on Tuesday and those expected to respond with commercial reprisals.
“Will there be any pain? Yes, maybe (and maybe not!). But we will do USA Great again and everything will deserve the price to pay, “wrote the president in capital letters in his social social network, and urged his three largest partners to” make his product in the US and there will be no tariffs. “
Trumpwho directed his message to an assumption “Lobby” globalist Against tariffs, he said that the US “subsidizes” other countries and that these “pay a small fraction of the cost that US citizens pay for medications and (products) pharmaceuticals.”
Y Canada’s annexation claimed again in another messagein which he affirmed that the US does not need the resources or products of his neighbor and that, without that “subsidy”, “it will cease to exist as a viable country.”
Pressure tool
They have as the main objective to press economic states and segments close to the president of the USA, Donald Trumpas noted Sunday, senior Canadian officials.
The officials, who requested anonymity as a requirement to speak with the media, also added that the second objective is to ensure that Canadian consumers find alternatives, especially if they are Canadian products.
The first tariffs that will enter into force on February 4 will affect products worth 30,000 million dollars, including juices and fruits (that in many cases come from Florida), Appliances (South Carolina and Ohio) and motorcycle (Pennsylvania).
The products most affected by these Canadian taxes are cosmetics (3.5 billion dollars), Appliances (3.4 billion dollars), Paper products (3,000 million dollars) and tires (2 billion dollars).
As of February 25, Canada has planned to expand the list of products affected by tariffs, following the same criteria, another 125,000 million dollars of US imports.
The Canadian representatives stressed that the objective of Canadian commercial reprisals is not to cause a escalation in the incipient commercial war, but “persuade” the US government so that commercial relations return to normal.
They also pointed out that although the Canadian authorities are “having detailed conversations” with their Mexican counterparts, and that these contacts will continue in the coming weeks, the dialogue “does not represent coordinated actions.”
At the moment, the first effects of the incipient commercial war already begins to be visible: the disappearance of the US wines, beers and spirits of Canada’s stores.
