Trump threatens to double tariffs on China and says punishing Mexico and Canada tariffs will go into effect March 4 Trump Says 25% Tariffs On Mexico And Canada Will Kick In On March 4 Go, President Trump, go! You'll be able to end income tax for sure!
And you merely need to do a fact check and get the Canadian tariff schedule applied to imports from the U.S. to quickly determine that the entire list in the tweet is bullshiat. It is amazing that idiots repost fact-free nonsense they find on the internet. https://wits.worldbank.org/tariff/t...760jE_crHEQ1BwHtOw_aem_rom--AcogTUqiWYahBk08w
From your source, just as an example: It's likely there's a grouping/averaging in here, but I can't say for sure because of how its categorized. Still, it certainly looks like there are some significant tarriffs in numbers in this categories.
Additional sources: thehub.ca Canada’s system of supply management imposes tariffs on U.S. farmers for chicken, turkey, eggs, and dairy products, between 150 percent and 300 percent. If Donald Trump’s 25 percent tariff threat is a problem, so too is our supply management policy. ... Dairy: Tariffs on products like butter, milk, and cheese above the TRQ limits can be as high as 241 percent. While the rate varies, it is generally between 200 percent and slightly higher than 300 percent. Turkey and chicken: Tariffs on chicken imports above the TRQ can reach 289 percent, and on turkey imports, they are around 165 percent. Egg and egg products: For egg and egg product imports above the TRQ limit tariffs range between 150 percent and 164 percent.
There are numerous sources on the web, GWB_NPC. Some of them talk about over-quota tarriffs, but they're tarriffs that the US doesn't apply in reciprocal fashion. And to say "yeah, they're over quota tarriffs, so they don't actually happen" just means that the quotas aren't exceeded because they know if they are, they're hit with these ridiculous increases. You can argue it prevents "dumping", I suppose, but its not really free trade, is it? Not like we offer to Canada. So yeah,. there's a lot of bullshit here, but most of it seems to be from you. From the Brookings institute, which claims that no dairy products are sold over the quota (because they'd get hit with ridiculous tarriffs if they did). Second, Canada only imposes high tariffs on imports above the quota, not on all the dairy products U.S. producers sell to them. For example, Canadian tariffs on dairy products within the quota are often zero and never more than a few percent. Above the quota, tariffs on dairy products range from 200 percent to over 300 percent.
Yes... so your x/Twitter post claims much higher than what is actually applied to the exact products. Why don't you look up the exact matches item by item then report on the results.
This is your way of saying "I was technically correct, in that those reported numbers aren't exactly accurate in the manner in which I am calculating, but it still doesn't matter that Canada has ridiculous tariffs because I want to be right." That's GWB speak. And I'm not going to go line by line to find the data, because even if it just showed the exact same number (which it won't because of methodology and time differences), you'd just claim it didn't, or run off to one of your other 500 threads to spread your misinformation and narratives. The measurements in how multiple systems are judging tariff %s seem to be inconsistent, allowing for an interpretation difference based on methodology. You never were good at critical thinking. The entire point is the massive tariffs (and they are massive) that Canada charges the US for that the US does not do (until now). Live with it.
