Trump takes aim at Canada with doubled tariffs on metals

Trump's planned tariffs on steel, aluminum products from Canada rise to 50%
Ontario Premier Ford vows to maintain electricity levy until US tariffs are removed
Financial markets react negatively; S&P 500 index and Canadian dollar decline

WASHINGTON, March 11 (Reuters) - President Donald Trumpon Tuesday doubled his planned tariffs on all imports of steel and aluminum products from Canada to 50%, in response to the province of Ontario's decision to place a 25% tariff on its electricity exports to the U.S.

Trump said in a post on his Truth Social media platform that he has instructed his commerce secretary to add an additional 25% tariff on the metals products that will go into effect on Wednesday morning.

"Also, Canada must immediately drop their Anti-American Farmer Tariff of 250% to 390% on various U.S. dairy products, which has long been considered outrageous. I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area," Trump wrote.

He also threatened to "substantially increase" tariffs on cars coming into the U.S. on April 2 "if other egregious, long time Tariffs are not likewise dropped by Canada."

In a post on X sent after Trump's latest threat, Ontario Premier Doug Ford - whose government is hiking the price on the electricity it generates for portions of New York state, Michigan and Minnesota - said he would not back down until all of Trump's tariffs on Canadian imports to the U.S. were "gone for good."

The latest broadside by Trump on tariffs delivered another painful jolt to financial markets, with the benchmark S&P 500 index (.SPX), opens new tab sliding almost 1.0% as investors worry the import taxes will hurt U.S. growth and rekindle inflation. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX Composite index (.GSPTSE), opens new tab was down about 0.5% and the Canadian dollar fell against the greenback.

Broader 25% levies on all steel and aluminum imported to the U.S. from anywhere are due to take effect early on Wednesday.

Those tariffs will apply to millions of tons of steel and aluminum imports from Canada, Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and other countries that had been entering the U.S. duty free under carve-outs. Trump has vowed that the tariffs will be applied "without exceptions or exemptions" in a move he hopes will aid the struggling U.S. industries.

Trump's hyper-focus on tariffs since taking office in January has rattled investor, consumer and business confidence in ways that economists increasingly worry could cause a recession. A small business survey on Tuesday showed sentiment weakening for a third straight month, fully eroding a confidence boost following Trump's November 5 election victory.

Reuters polls of economists last week showed risks to the Mexican, Canadian and U.S. economies are piling up amid a chaotic implementation of U.S. tariffs that has created deep uncertainties for businesses and decision-makers. The surveys showed 70 of 74 economists polled across Canada, the U.S. and Mexico judged that the risk of a recession had increased, and upside risks to inflation in the U.S. rose in particular.

Buenas tardes

Al respecto de lo que pueda pretender Donald, os traigo este vídeo que me ha parecido interesante ( un poco largo para mi tiempo libre habitual, pero hoy me cogió viajando).
El título demasiado llamativo para mi gusto. Pero me ha gustado el contenido

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-LN4iuezCI&t

Así además se pueden lanzar algunos a opinar de Marc Vidal, y a mí me encantaría saber sus opiniones al respecto.

Para mí es un gran comunicador, que resume y relaciona muy bien temas de actualidad, no muy sesgado y que pretende llegar muchas a personas tratando explicar todo de forma sencilla. Como suele pasar pretende despertar a la masa crítica y luego ya las soluciones si eso ya pensaremos en ellas.
Le tenía manía sí, pero ahora me gusta, o le escucho a veces, que no sé si es lo mismo. Por las gafas igual. o por el refrito que hace de noticias que podemos ver todos y él no manifiesta claramente que hace copy-paste.
En fin... me voy por las ramas.. a ver qué os parece si tenéis un rato para escucharles.

Me jode que se jiñen en la UE y en mi banco central, y ello basta para que me jiñe yo en ellos.

Hay dos cosas que no debemos pasar por alto:

• El exvicepresidente senior en Merrill Lynch y presidente del Partido Republicano Abroad, de apellido judío y residente en Madrid, viene a decir, sin decirlo, que el objetivo último actual de EE. UU. es mantener la hegemonía dólar, lo que significa que su enemigo es el euro; incluso deja entrever que la próxima tocada de pelotas a la UE será vía posesiones españolas en África.

• Marc 'El Risitas' Vidal, demuestra lo que es, un judas contestatario conservador proanglo que se ríe con mueca, torciendo la boca. Aprovecha para colar sardónicamente el bulo de que la clase media no puede con la vivienda «porque el dinero vale cada vez menos», justo en contra de lo que acababa de decir el entrevistado, que «las rentas no salariales están hipertrofiadas»:
https://youtu.be/l-LN4iuezCI?t=3008

No obstante, está bien que se diga en público que lo que está pasando ahora es un cambio estructural —aunque se diga con la locución neonazi 'nuevo orden'—; y se añada que viene la devaluación del dólar y una recesión y, con ella, un escenario de tipos de interés cero sin inflación.

El Ayuntamiento de Santiago da vía libre a la subasta de las cuatro  viviendas en ruinas del Rexistro de Soares (Registro de Solares)

Los propietarios recibirán el importe base de la licitación y lo que la puja pueda deparar a mayores será para el Concello


El Ayuntamiento sacará a puja pública cuatro inmuebles del casco histórico con declaración de ruina e incluidos en el Rexistro de Soares, la herramienta de la que dispone para promover la rehabilitación de edificios en ruinas o abandonados cuando los propietarios desoyen sus requerimientos. La ley lo autoriza a proceder a la venta forzosa una vez concluidas las distintas fases de tramitación y audiencia a los interesados. Y eso es lo que decidió ayer la Xunta de Goberno Local después de haber anunciado en el Boletín Oficial de la Provincia la incoación del expediente el pasado 27 de febrero. La subasta se abrirá en unos días, cuando se publique el concurso en ese mismo boletín y en el perfil del contratante del Concello.

El concejal de Urbanismo, Iago Lestegás, justificaba ayer esta medida después de que el Concello declarase hace un año el incumplimiento por parte de los propietarios del deber de conservación y rehabilitación. El nacionalista proclamó que la gestión del Rexistro de Soares fue una prioridad del gobierno bipartito (BNG-CA) desde el inicio del mandato, por sus posibilidades para «promover a rehabilitación, recuperación e reutilización do patrimonio abandonado». De hecho, y pese a las altas tramitadas en anteriores mandatos, esta es la primera vez que se llega hasta este punto.

Los intentos de gobiernos precedentes acabaron siempre con los expedientes caducados, lo que exigió un esfuerzo añadido a los nacionalistas, que tuvieron que poner en marcha «procedementos» no habilitados hasta ahora, porque nunca se había llegado a una venta forzosa en Santiago. «E creo que en ningún outro concello de Galicia», expuso Lestegás después de dar cuenta de las localizaciones y los precios base de la puja de cada uno de esos inmuebles. Se trata del número 5 de Praciña das Penas (145.237,61 euros); el 14 de Loureiros (101.746,31); el 23 de la rúa San Roque (103.699,83) y el 33 de Espírito Santo (69.639,18). Los tres primeros pertenecen a una misma comunidad de herederos, que presentó proyectos de restauración y solicitud de licencia para los tres entre enero y febrero de este año, pero el proceso continuó adelante. Según Raxoi, la suspensión no estaba prevista en el procedimiento.

Los inmuebles saldrán a la venta por lotes individuales y los propietarios recibirán el importe base de la licitación. Los ingresos que la puja pueda aportar a mayores serán para el Concello. Las ofertas se presentarán por medios electrónicos en la plataforma de contratación del sector público durante 20 días naturales desde el siguiente a la publicación del anuncio. Se puede optar a todos los lotes, con ofertas individualizadas, pero los interesados deberán especificar un orden de preferencia, ya que solo podrán ser adjudicatarios de uno siempre que existan varios licitadores para un mismo lote. Según Lestegás, al Concello no le interesa que un mismo postor se haga con todos los inmuebles incluidos en el Rexistro de Soares por este procedimiento, pero tampoco que quede desierto. Pero, en el caso de que así sea, podrá adquirirlos el propio Concello por el precio base de licitación o sacar un nuevo concurso con una rebaja del 25 % en el precio de salida.

Una vez adjudicados los inmuebles, los adquirentes deberán solicitar licencia de rehabilitación como muy tarde tres meses después de formalizarse la venta. Tras la ocupación de la propiedad tendrán un año para iniciar las obras de rehabilitación, que deberán estar concluidas en dos años.

A la familia de tres de esas casas le indicaron que pedir la licencia paraliza la expropiación

Ante la afirmación del Concello de que la suspensión no está prevista en el procedimiento, los propietarios de las casas de Praciña das Penas, San Roque y Loureiros indican que la ordenanza del Rexistro de Soares es del 2006 y que «es tan ambigua que ni siquiera contempla la venta forzosa, solo la rehabilitación forzosa por el propio Ayuntamiento o por un agente edificador, así que el inmueble no cambia de manos, razón por la que no prevé la suspensión en caso de presentación de licencia».

Esos propietarios puntualizan que, en la respuesta a la desestimación de su recurso contra la inclusión de los tres inmuebles en el Rexistro de Soares, se les contesta que la presentación de licencia «interrumpe el expediente de expropiación». Una fuente de la familia se pregunta si «lo que interesa es la rehabilitación o la venta» e indica que, «sin querer ser desconfiado, me da que hay un interés en vender injustificado. Solo puede ser porque hay alguien interesado en comprar».

La familia recibió el acuerdo de Raxoi con «sorpresa», porque «no tiene lógica concluir en paralelo dos expedientes incompatibles». Por un lado, el de la puja; por otro, el de las licencias. Curiosamente, señala que se les dio un plazo de 10 días para subsanar los defectos de los proyectos, plazo que terminó ayer, «el mismo día que aprueban la puja». Y, además, para el 27 de marzo se le ha concedido una reunión solicitada la semana pasada con el arquitecto municipal. Los propietarios se preguntan si «¿venden con proyecto y tasas pagadas?». El Concello afirma que la puja y la solicitud de licencia son procesos simultáneos y diferentes. «Pode darse o caso de adquirir un inmoble con licenza xa aínda que a pida outra persoa», expone.

Los herederos se pusieron las pilas cuando le vieron las orejas al lobo... Una estupenda casa típica de Santiago, la de San Roque de la foto. Sólo hay que vaciarla y hacerle una estructura interior, en madera preferiblemente, apoyándose en esos muros que nunca se van a mover de ahí. Un poco más adelante se encuentra el convento de Santa Clara, con su fachada-telón barroca...

Sometimes laughter is the only sane response to what we read in the news. If you know a thing or two about the world (as I hope you do), then our thoughts are inevitably forced down two paths. Path number one: we are being lied to by the politicians and the media alike to hide from us what is really going on. Path number two: the politicians and the media are both a bunch of clowns acting out their shtik out in the open and the reason none of it makes sense is because there is no sense to make — just some silly clowning around.

This, I feel, pretty well summarizes what's happening in the combined West, but then there is Russia and China. These two don't clown around at all; rather, they say what they are going to do and then they do it. They aren't funny or entertaining or easy to understand. In particular, they don't bother to make themselves easy to understand in English. They don't think in English and they don't much care what they sound like in translation, which is often machine translation and wrong.

The Chinese speak in code that's impossible to penetrate without deep knowledge of Chinese language, history and culture. Therefore, on all matters Chinese I defer to China experts (Russian ones).

The Russians are far more straightforward (for me, because I happen to be one) but seemingly impossible to explain to Westerners because of significant differences in mentality.


Here is a concrete example. I hope that I won't instantly bore you, but the Russians don't aim to entertain people in the West and most of them don't care whether or not they are entertained or bored or even alive. Western governments have first provoked the conflict in the Ukraine, then armed and financed Russia's enemies, and the wages of these sins are yet to be paid. If this sounds strange to you, that's the difference in mentality I mentioned. I try to keep the exposition light and lively, but the dire subject matter imposes its own limits.



The immutable Russian position is that the formerly Ukrainian regions of Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson are now part of the Russian Federation in accordance with the Russian Constitution. This redrawing of the political map was based on public referenda held within these regions, the results of which were overwhelmingly in support of them joining the Russian Federation. Meanwhile, in the bedeviled lands to the west of Russia's holy borders, discussions unfold on whether the Ukraine should agree to let Russia keep some of these formerly Ukrainian lands. The fact that the referenda were not internationally recognized is regarded as significant (it is of no importance to Russia).




The Russian view is that it is the Ukrainian troops which are currently occupying Russian territory. Lugansk is Ukrainian-free, but there are still sizable chunks of Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Kherson to be "liberated" from Ukrainian "occupation" (these are the exact words the Russians use). Add to this a tiny chunk of Kursk region, which was never Ukrainian, and which Ukrainian troops invaded last August and have been trying to hold on to ever since. This futile effort has cost them the lives of some 60 thousand Ukrainian soldiers, whose rotting corpses are now littering the woods in the area, pixelated yet still ghastly images of which are regularly shown on Russian nightly news.

The Russian constitution indicates an unquestionable minimum of territory which the Russian forces must liberate because, from the point of view of Russian military honor, doing so is a sacred duty while failing to do so would be treasonous: the remainder of Donetsk, Zaporozhye, Kherson and, of course, a tiny bit of Kursk. But there is no hard limit to the number of other regions that the Russians might liberate. Russian troops are already in control of portions of Kharkov and Sumy regions and are a few kilometers away from Dniepropetrovsk region. These regions are also peopled by Russians: Russian-speaking, culturally Russian, religiously Russian Orthodox. They should also be given a chance to vote in a referendum on joining the Russian Federation, where they would be safe from government persecution for their language, culture and faith.

But these are not the only regions of the (former?) Ukraine which are Russian-speaking, culturally Russian and religiously Russian Orthodox. At a minimum, these include Nikolaev, Odessa, Sumy and Kiev regions. One of the three stated goals of Russia's Special Military Operation (SMO) in the Ukraine is to protect the lives of Russians. Why should the residents of Odessa have their rights of self-determination denied while the residents of Donetsk have been granted theirs? Such arbitrariness would be impossible to justify, and so the SMO will have to keep rolling along until all Russians have been granted their rights and feel safe, wherever they may be.

The other two stated objectives of the SMO are denazification and demilitarization. The Ukraine, whether or not any of it remains as an item on the political map of Europe, must not have any Nazis in positions of authority (as they are now) and all Nazis who have criminal cases against them pending in Russia (of which there are tens of thousands) must be arrested, tried, sentenced and imprisoned. And demilitarization means that whatever part of the Ukraine remains at the end of the SMO must be certified free of weapons, armed groups or foreign troops that could pose any sort of threat to the security of Russia. These two objectives are, likewise, non-negotiable.


I have probably bored you half to death, so here is an old joke comparing a lady to a diplomat. If a lady says "no", that means "maybe". If a lady says "maybe", that's a "yes". And if a lady says "yes", that's not a lady. If a diplomat says "yes", that's a "maybe". If a diplomat says "maybe", that's a "no". And if a diplomat says "no", that's not a diplomat.

And yet quite recently Sergei Lavrov, Russia's Foreign Minister and a consummate diplomat, when asked whether Russia's new territories could be a subject for negotiation, said "no". Lavrov is a diplomat and yet he said "no"; what does that mean? It means that the question of Russia's new regions is not a topic for diplomatic discussion.




What is it then a topic for? Here's a hint: one syllable, three letters, first letter is "W". Are you willing to die for a chance to dispute the ownership of faraway places you haven't heard of until quite recently and which you might find it difficult to find on the map? I didn't think so! And yet I have heard reports of numerous discussion by Western politicians of whether the Kiev regime would or would not agree to part with these new Russian regions, whether something could be traded for them, and who would or would not recognize them as Russian territory. Given that such discussions cannot be regarded as diplomacy, what are they? Idiotic, infantile babbling?

Another topic discussed at length in Western press and by Western politicians, is the topic of a ceasefire. Various conditions for a ceasefire have been proposed, completely overlooking the fact that a ceasefire requires the two sides that are involved in active hostilities to agree to it. Have the Russians expressed any willingness to consider a ceasefire?

No, the perfectly straightforward, unchanging Russian position is that hostilities will cease once the causes of the hostilities are dealt with systematically and the objectives of the SMO have been achieved. As to what these objectives are, see above: securing the rights of Russians including self-determination and denazification and demilitarization of the (former) Ukraine.
These conditions had been negotiated, written down in the Istanbul Protocol Draft Document of April 15, 2022 and given preliminary approval by the Ukrainian side, but then their Western "partners" intervened and ordered them to "fight to the last Ukrainian."

Since the preconditions for a ceasefire do not exist, why is a ceasefire even a topic of discussion? This would be a good question for Western politicians to answer first, but instead they have chosen to leapfrog over it and to launch into a heated discussion of who would introduce peacekeeping troops into the Ukraine once ceasefire has been achieved. In Russian, such discussion is sometimes referred to as "Fighting over the hide of a bear that hasn't been hunted yet." No matter what you decide, the bear will rip your head off if you come close enough.

The fate of the Ukraine was sealed in the summer of 2023 when the Ukrainian offensive failed to penetrate even the first of three Russian defensive lines. All that's been happening since then is mindless slaughter on the Ukrainian side and eager, enthusiastic tinkering with new weapons on the Russian side. The Kiev regime has been getting ready to start drafting 18-year-olds but many of them have left the country in preparation. The number of new volunteers willing to join the Ukrainian army is almost exactly zero. Recruits are given almost no training and sent to their death at gunpoint. There is at the moment a temporary halt to US weapons deliveries to the Kiev regime that may in a month or two put the slaughter on pause. At some point the fine people of Kiev might find it within themselves to start a civil war and overthrow the regime, but that's more wishful thinking than a prediction because the Kiev regime is a ruthless totalitarian state that exercises strict control, including mind control, over its victims.

The Western political/media clown show has recently developed a sideshow called "raw earths" — that's what Donald Trump has been calling "rare earths", which, by the way, are rather scarce on the territory of the former Ukraine and not worth bothering with. Trump is strictly about show business and real estate and "don't know" much physics or chemistry. He previously used the term "hydrosonic rockets" (instead of "hypersonic") and claimed that "America has the best hydrosonic weapons in the world."

All of this insipid clowning around has just one objective: the clowns want to keep their jobs for just a tiny bit longer, hoping that something changes in the meantime. They will do whatever they have to, no matter how humiliating and idiotic, to keep the limelight on themselves, and their court journalists and the mob of bloggers will keep on prattling about their antics in order to sell advertising and grow their audience.

Enjoy the clown show, if you so wish, but remember: this show is not about diplomacy. It's about a three-letter word that starts with a "W". And if your political leader-clowns get their lines sufficiently wrong, there is also a five-letter word that starts with a "D".
