13·8 months agoThe auto industry already had a 30-day exemption from tariffs.
14·8 months agoMany actions are targeted at red states. But sometimes the weapons you have are the weapons you have.
And, really, whatever US internal politics are, this is an act of war by the US against Canada. I think few will lose sleep about making any American bleed right now. Hopefully it wakes those blue states up to start really taking action.
Sorry for messing around with this post. Lemmy.world has a weird bug(?) where posts with CBC articles won’t federate. Had to trick it.
Most frozen assets, by far, reside in Europe ($217 billion (€201 billion) to $230 billion (€210 billion)), with the United States holding just a small portion ($5 billion (€4.5 billion)) and Japan also holding some.
This is just initial reaction to an announcement. The tariffs aren’t even implemented yet.
I wonder how close we are to Trump declaring that “no one knew” how complicated the economy is…
Economic death to America!
Qu’est ce que fuck!
Yes, I would want a source saying that Ukraine chose to cancel the other events and leave the White House.
But it seems like you misinterpreted the article to mean they were ordered to leave on-camera. It happened well after the media availability.
I haven’t seen that reported anywhere. Source?
Bitchin’ bonus quote:
“It will be hard, but we will survive,” said Iryna Tsilyk, 42, a poet and film director in the capital, Kyiv, whose husband serves in the army. “Today, I was not ashamed of my president and my country. I am not sure that the Americans can say the same.”
I suspect the whole thing was premeditated, so it wouldn’t have mattered. Does the VP normally interrupt the president when talking to other world leaders? Zelensky smiling and tacitly agreeing to Putin’s narrative was never going to happen. I also can’t imagine any European leader going to the White House and saying, “Yes, we’ve treated you very unfairly. The European Union was just a conspiracy to screw over America and we’re very sorry, Dear Leader…”
Thanks! Yeah, people are downvoting because the Russians are scumfucks. But being able to say “look how ecstatic the Russians are” is more powerful than saying “I bet the Russians are ecstatic.” It’s important to know even if it’s a massive contribution to my current rage spiral.
Paraphrasing:
Vance: Before now, no one’s tried to diplomacy to end this war and we’re going to do that.
Zelensky: We’ve tried diplomacy over and over and Putin has repeatedly broken those agreements. What diplomacy are you talking about?
Vance: I think it’s disrespectful for you to come here and try to litigate this in front of the American media. 🤡

Vance is such a fucking clown.
To be fair, he would’ve also deserved it for slapping that geriatric blowhard to the floor.
Here’s a link to the entire exchange. It’s fucking surreal and infuriating.
There are a bunch of ridings that are still too close to call. The advanced and special ballots remaining have skewed heavily toward the liberals. They still may end up with a majority.
