> Trump slaps 10% tariff threat on 8 European nations over Greenland dispute

It’ll just result in eight more big wins for China.  Meanwhile U.S. manufacturing contracts for ten consecutive months under Trump and the cost of living continues to soar with food and health care both skyrocketing…



Canada, China trade deal

Prime Minister Mark Carney hailed a “new strategic partnership” in Beijing on Friday that included a break with the United States.

Canada is forging a “new strategic partnership” with China, its second-biggest trading partner, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday during what he called a “historic” trip to Beijing. That includes a break with the United States on tariffs, which have hit both the Canadian and Chinese economies.

Carney, the first Canadian prime minister to visit China since 2017, met with President Xi Jinping at the Great Hall of the People. He is one of a series of world leaders shaken by President Donald Trump’s geopolitical disruptions who are traveling to Beijing as it seeks to exploit U.S. unpredictability to bolster its global influence.

For Canada, the Trump administration has been especially head-spinning.

“The United States used to be a friend and ally,” Guy Saint-Jacques, a former Canadian ambassador to China, told NBC News in an interview. Now, “we are treated as an enemy.”

In other words, Uncle Sam woke up & refuses to be treated as Uncle Sucker anymore.

Sure, Canada can sell their heavy crude to China and the U.S. can replace it by investing $100B+ in taxpayer money* to repair Venezuela’s decayed oil infrastructure.


*because the private sector sure as fuq isn’t interested.  Exxon CEO called Venezuela “uninvestable”, Trump then threaded to exclude Exxon from participating and Exxon stock went UP on the news.

Not just Chávez.  Natural gas in 1971, oil in 1976, oil again in 2007.

It's also the situation inside the country.

Trump kidnapped Maduro, and made an announcement that the US is in charge, but the US is really not in control of what happens in the country.

What is Exxon supposed to do when the workers it sends to Venezuela get kidnapped or killed by Maduro loyalists? Rely on Trump's promise to help them?
