    Blah blah blah… http://apple.news/AvtecqMatS8CWgp_39flWTw Carney was speaking at a press conference on Saturday morning after suspending trade talks with U.S. President Donald Trump and then announcing steep retaliatory tariffs.

    The prospective deal, in which Canada is being asked to make numerous concessions and accept Mr. Trump’s tariffs to try to avoid more Trump tariffs in exchange for not having the Trump tariffs be even higher, is likely to be a difficult sell for Mr. Carney…not that he has to sell Canada on this...

    Iran War. . . USA Up 2-0 in the First Period

    Iran said on Friday that its response to any new U.S. threats would be "devastating" after Washington pledged to impose the toughest financial penalties in history with the aim of toppling the Iranian leadership. Trump’s back to regime change? I thought he dropped that and replaced it with...

    U.S. President Donald Trump's latest-latest tariff threat on $28 billion worth of Canadian goods is set to take effect just after midnight, unless officials are able to finalize a trade agreement. Unlike other Trump tariffs, the duties that are on pause (for three days) would affect goods that...

    Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said Canadians need to be “clear-eyed” about the fact that Mr. Carney’s prospective deal, which is still being negotiated in Washington, will give up Canada’s leverage with the United States, while also agreeing to permanent tariffs. “The deal will not be right for...

    Well, it looks ugly for anyone and everyone. Zero nations can enter trade negotiations with Donald Trump’s United States without facing an asymmetric dynamic. The U.S. strategy explicitly leverages its massive consumer market and unilateral tariffs (such as baseline and sectoral duties) to...

    Canada’s top trade negotiators are set to meet with their U.S. counterpart in Washington on Thursday as the two sides work to close a deal meant to offer some relief to Ottawa from U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs in exchange for a suite of Canadian concessions? Trump announced that the...

    Yep. That sounds like it doesn’t violate anything. America is already doing it. Good for the goose is good for the gander. While none of the details of what's being considered have been made public, a source with knowledge of the forthcoming agreement said Trump’s U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel...

    Carney, who briefed cabinet ministers and premiers about the draft plan Wednesday, said the deal it builds on Canada's existing trade advantages with the U.S. ???

    The details of what exactly has been brokered — if anything — are scant, with vague hints that may or may not have anything to do with reality. Neither side released any documents stating what each country could give up in return for some concessions. Back to Trumps arbitrary gameshow-like...

    The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un made the comments Wednesday night in her country’s first reaction to Trump’s moves to drastically cut back the annual U.S.-South Korean military drills. “We think it’s not worth making comments on that and we have no any interest in it,” Kim...

    Nero gave his thumbs up, at least from the hand not behind his back. http://apple.news/Al46zLhBQQ8W9B-AmFT8Zuw Mr. Trump “wants” to turn what was the world’s most important free-trade deal into a creature with aspects of one-way free trade. He “wants” us to agree to give him the freedom to build...
