U.S. President Donald Trump says the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement on trade is "irrelevant" to him and Americans don't need Canadian products.

While touring a Ford plant in Michigan, Trump said he wants to see more cars built in the United States and the U.S. doesn't need vehicles made in Canada or Mexico.

Asked if he will renegotiate CUSMA, which is up for review this year, Trump said "we can have it or not."

Guess I'll never be able to rebuild my fucking garage

You just have to scavenge parts from an old garage. Like cars in Cuba.

We're doing that with PCs now too.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I've been doing that with PCs since the last century. There's no saving the rotted-out, raccoon-piss-soaked wood.

I'm sure you could still afford a single 2x4 and some nails. Then you can take what you want.

And let’s see them survive with only 300k BPD of heavy crude from Venezuela.

They removed sanctions on Belarus specifically to get potash, venezuela to replace our oil.

Don't kid yourself. They are gunning for us hard.

...or water.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The fuck they get our water. We're gonna have enough issues to deal with supplying people here. They ain't getting none of ours.

But their companies are.

Their peat moss imports primarily come from Canada. Some 80 - 90% from what I could find.

There are a few other suppliers that might be able to step up, but the USA seems to be feeling pretty independent these days... I'm not sure how that would go for them
