Talks Collapse – Tariffs Begin Now – A Direct and Confrontational U.S-Canada Trade War is Now a Reality

Moments ago, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered the news via his X account.  Discussions between the U.S and Canada have collapsed. All trade representatives are called back home.  The 50% U.S. tariffs against Canada are now in effect.  A trade war begins.

First, read the statement from Prime Minister Mark Carney, with the understanding that Carney is making the first statement because the news is exceptionally bad for Canada.  Worse than bad.

Why Does James Comey Matter?

During the 2016 effort to weaponize the institutions of government against the outside candidacy of Donald Trump, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) was headed by Richard Burr and Dianne Feinstein.  After the 2016 election Senator Feinstein abdicated her vice-chair position to Senator Mark Warner in January 2017.

While the SSCI was engaged in their part of the 2016 effort Vice-Chair Feinstein’s lead staffer was a man named Daniel Jones. Dan Jones was the contact point between the SSCI and Fusion-GPS.

After the election, and after Feinstein abdicated, Dan Jones left the committee to continue paying Fusion-GPS (Glenn Simpson) for ongoing efforts toward the impeachment insurance policy angle.

Feinstein appears to have left because she didn’t want to deal with the consequences of a President Trump, IF he discovered the SSCI involvement.

Dan Jones left because with a Trump presidency the SSCI, now co-chaired by Senator Mark Warner, needed arms-length plausible deniability amid their 2017 operations to continue the removal effort (soft coup).

The trail for this plausible deniability process and ongoing soft-coup effort first surfaces with Dan Jones appearing in the early 2017 text messages between Senator Warner and the liaison for Christopher Steele, lawyer and lobbyist Adam Waldman:

President Trump Lifts Tariff Quota on Imported Beef for 90 Days to Relieve Price Stress

President Donald Trump announced today that import quotas on beef will be lifted for a period of 90-days in an effort to remove pricing stress on cattle and give U.S. ranchers an opportunity to restore herd head count.

The short-term effort is directed to lower consumer prices, while in the longer term the U.S. cattle industry undergoes market-based reforms to eliminate monopolistic industrial practices.

PRESIDENT TRUMP“Today, I concluded a deal to substantially lower the price of ground beef for working American families. As everyone knows, under President Biden, beef prices soared at their fastest rate and the American beef herd fell to its smallest size in modern history. As we work to rebuild this herd and help our ranchers, for the next 90 days, the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of product for ground beef to be imported with no out of quota tariff. We have a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25 percent below current market prices. This deal will reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” ~ President DONALD J. TRUMP

President Trump gave remarks about the issue during a tarmac presser en route to South Carolina. [PROMPTED]

President Trump and Former Antagonist Michael Cohen Have a Conversation

Many may ask why President Donald Trump would give the time to a former lawyer who turned against him into one of the most antagonistic accusers, however, those questions can be reconciled by putting yourself in Trump’s shoes.

No person in U.S. politics has been attacked with as much ferocity as Donald J Trump.  Part of that attack included the weaponization of his former lawyer Michael Cohen against him.  After more than a few years of dealing with the consequences, President Trump gets to talk again to the man, once a personal friend, who stabbed him in the back.

When you surround yourself with the truth, there is no fear in the confrontation. The discomfort exists within the sensibility of the one who bore false witness, and the lesson is made public for history to note. WATCH:

.

From the reaction within the CNN propaganda machine, it would appear the conversation was a considerable success.
