Hey, Wisconsin farmers, growers, producers and consumers:
Trump blusters that his Canada, Mexico tariffs will stay.
And to the weakling Walker, thanks for nothing.
Trump blusters that his Canada, Mexico tariffs will stay.
Trump says he won’t sign any NAFTA deal until after midterms
President Trump said Sunday he is “not happy” with the revised NAFTA deal that his administration has been hammering out with Canada and Mexico and he doesn't want to sign any new agreement until after the midterm elections in November...But Trump has shown few signs of pulling back. Instead, he is calling for additional tariffs on China and on imported cars, a move that would hurt Europe, Japan and South Korea.Because that's how best to confront barriers to the Canadian dairy market for small farmers already leading the nation in bankruptcies.
And to the weakling Walker, thanks for nothing.
Things are moving in reverse:
He talked to Trump about it on the phone, according to this report, and followed-up with the rare, triple-exclamation pointed Tweet:
Walker said he spoke with Trump Monday and Tuesday about the dairy crisis.
“It was great to talk to you this morning,” Walker told Trump on Twitter after the conversation. “Thanks for supporting WI dairy farmers!!!”
* Wait, there's more: Walker even signed a letter to Trump:
Walker issued a joint letter to Trump with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo yesterday. The move comes as 75 Wisconsin dairy farms won't have buyers for their milk beginning May 1st because of the restrictions.
* And issued a 'standing up for Wisconsin dairy farmers' news release detailing calls he'd made and assigned to others.
Remember - - Wisconsin now leads the nation in small farm bankruptcies.
As dairy crisis crushes farmers, Wisconsin's rural identity in jeopardy
And when Trump surprised Walker with even more harmful tariffs, Walker "respectfully" asked Trump to stop - - Trump added even more tariffs.
