    The Tarriff Hype.

    No U.S. president used Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 for nearly a century after its creation, until President Donald Trump invoked it on July 20, 2026, to place 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods. Past administrations only used the threat of the statute as a diplomatic lever...

    http://www.youtube.com/shorts/m-m8O2EEwk8 Anyway, back to this globally catastrophic economic dumpster fire pissing match of negotiations, United States President Donald Trump stated on Friday, August 14, 2026, that he plans to declare the Strait of Hormuz a territory of the United States after...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Donald Trump's trade envoy says the administration will not accept any form of retaliation from Canada if the U.S. president follows through on his latest tariff threat.

    Well, this is interesting during trade negotiations between Canada and the Trump, & less than a week before Trump’s latest 50% tariffs on Canada because it tried to stand up for itself instead of just grabbing its ankles, like most other countries did… http://apple.news/Adlsb5bq5R7OH-3-W2CWPBA...

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

    Tit for tat, going back 50 years when the IRGC (runs Iran since 1979) didn’t even exist, probably doesn’t help with peace negotiations. The Iranian government has done enough shitty shit on their own without having to blame them for the USS Cole either, that was done by Al-Qaeda, so that’s...
