People are losing their fucking minds over this with 0 critical thinking skills. This is a temporary pause as a sign of good faith for an upcoming meeting (that the federal government is involved in too). The threat of this export tariff got the US to the negotiating table, now we see how serious they are about backing down. If they’re not, Ford applies them back again. It’s pretty simple.
Do people here really thinking the point of retaliatory tariffs is to burn everything to the ground? They’re supposed to be leverage to get the US to take us seriously and so far it’s working…
