Chapter 1: What retaliatory measures are world leaders taking against Trump's tariffs?
Donald Trump just got a world class beat down from the world. About $60 billion in retaliatory tariffs being applied to the United States when you add up the retaliatory tariffs from Canada and Europe. This follows Donald Trump following through on his 25% across the board aluminum and steel tariffs in Canada and in Europe. Canada and Europe swiftly responded.
It was so odd yesterday, Donald Trump hosted the prime minister of Ireland and in that bizarre oval office, whatever you want to call it, Donald Trump was bragging that the premier of Ontario removed certain tariffs, which the premier of Ontario added to the existing tariffs that were already gonna be part of the retaliatory tariffs cuz Trump has no clue what he's talking about.
Just watch what Donald Trump said though in the Oval Office, play this clip.
It's not gonna be a tough battle, in my opinion, not gonna be tough. Just like when Ontario charged us, everybody's, they just said, this will be one in one hour. And they announced what we were gonna do. And they withdrew their little threat.
And perhaps Donald Trump should have been paying more attention because right around that time, Canada announced that it was applying its retaliatory steel and aluminum tariffs. I'll just show you. Here's the finance minister of Canada, Dominic LeBlanc. Here's what he had to say yesterday. Let's play the clip.
While our iconic steel and aluminum industries are being unfairly targeted. Today, I am announcing that the Government of Canada, following a dollar-for-dollar approach, will be imposing as of 12.01 a.m. tomorrow, March 13, 2025,
One of the things also that I think is so fundamental here as well is, as I've said, it's not simply that Donald Trump has declared a trade war on Canada. In my view, Trump has declared actual war on Canada. When you talk about annexing Canada, conquering, taking over the land. I mean, to me, those are fight words. Those are war words.
And one of the things that Donald Trump refused to do as well is that when a new interim prime minister, Carney, Mark Carney, was selected by the liberal party, Canada is going to go into their elections, of course, shortly. And I think the liberal party is going to be able to form a government coming out of those elections, but people are going to have to go out and vote.
But Trump didn't even reach out to the new interim prime minister, Mark Carney, and congratulate him or say anything. And so Caroline Leavitt, the chief propagandist at the White House, she was asked, why didn't he do that? And then she just went on to attack Canada. I want you to watch this, play this clip.

Chapter 2: How did Trump respond to the tariffs from Canada and Ontario?
Just like in 30 days. I mean, you know, domestically, he's tanking the economy singly handed with the tariffs. And I just I just got a new heater today. I'm already affected by the tariffs.
How is that?
The part parts are they say up eight to 10 percent already. just in parts for the heater. So I ended up getting a new heater, but the company told you that the company that you bought it from, right? Right.
And they passed on that eight to 10% to you. So you paid an extra. Okay.
Yeah. And that's, this is for every kind of part from, uh, outside the, uh, the country and no matter what it is. I mean, that includes, uh, everything that comes to the United States through these tariffs that is imposed.

Yeah, I told you, I thought that was powerful stuff. May I share with you though, I want you to watch this. This is Mark Carney's full speech at the factory that he was at. It's about two and a half minutes, a little bit more than, about three minutes. Watch this though, because to me, and I know in Canada, you're probably used to kind of... Smart, sophisticated, steady leadership.
