mexico facing an impending 25% tariff hike tomorrow caved in negotiations and agreed to send 10,000 national guard troops to the border to stop illegals from camping and crossing at the border and to enforce anti-smuggling operations to prevent (made in tiongcock) fentanyl from seeping across. 1 month break is given to check results. if result is good a permanent agreement will be negotiated.
 
hahaha. canada caved at the 11th hour and agreed to deploy manpower and technology along the border to stop (made in tiongcock) fentanyl smuggling, human trafficking, crime syndicates sneaking across, and money laundering. given 30-day pause. same as mexico.
 
Very very Trump Favourite WWF style of negotiation

 
Make Canada and Mexico cooperate, take Panama Canal and Greenland, depose Comrade Lula of Brazil.

China will be effectively blockaded from the America continents.

Hope Trump rejects any trade talks with China, he should know from his first term the Chicoms never keep their word. Take the money and manufacturing out of China, and slowly raise the tariff from 10% to 100% during this transition phase.

Only possible if Chinese population in Mexico / Canada exceed 70%
 
Trump is the best of the best! Even Kamala loves him and is going to have his baby.

SINGAPORE: Singapore’s open, trade-dependent economy could face slower growth and weaker business sentiment, even though it is not directly targeted by the latest US tariffs announced over the weekend.

Analysts said on Monday (Feb 3) that the 10 per cent tariffs on Chinese goods will have a greater impact on Singapore than the 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports.

US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that these tariffs would remain in place until a national emergency over the drug fentanyl and illegal immigration to the US is resolved. However, the White House did not clarify what specific actions the three affected countries would need to take.

While President Trump has previously threatened tariffs, some were surprised by how quickly he implemented them.

Mr Mansoor Mohi-uddin, chief economist at the Bank of Singapore, said many had expected “lengthy negotiations” between the US and its key trading partners in the first few months of the year.

“The consensus was that expected US tariffs would only threaten the economic outlook in the second half of 2025,” he said.
 

DAMPENING EXPORTS

Given Singapore’s small size and high dependence on trade, its economy has limited options if US tariffs slow global trade and growth, analysts said.

Reduced US imports would likely dampen Singapore's export growth, according to Mr Ray Farris, chief economist at Eastspring Investments. The uncertainty surrounding global trade could also weaken business sentiment.

Ms Sheana Yue, an economist at Oxford Economics, pointed out that business investment in Singapore is closely linked to exports.

“We suspect business sentiment will sour over the coming quarters,” she said.

However, she does not expect a severe slowdown. “Our modelling suggests GDP will slow by only 0.4 per cent from our baseline in Q1 2026,” she added.

Mr Brian Lee, an economist at Maybank Securities, highlighted that Singapore's outlook is supported by easing monetary conditions, the construction of major infrastructure projects and an expected “generous election Budget”.

Singapore’s Budget statement will be delivered on Feb 18, and the General Election must be held by Nov 23.

“We are projecting 2025 GDP growth slowing to 2.6 per cent from the 4 per cent flash estimate in 2024 – our forecast lies at the upper end of MTI’s 1 per cent – 3 per cent range,” he said.
 

TARIFFS ON CHINA TO HAVE BIGGER IMPACT

China, one of Singapore’s largest trading partners, is expected to feel the brunt of US tariffs, which will in turn affect Singapore.

North American trade is largely contained within the US, Canada and Mexico, said Mr Mohi-uddin, whereas a drop in China's exports to the US could reduce Chinese demand for goods and services from the rest of Asia.

Ms Yue said Singapore’s trade volume with China is 20 times larger than its combined trade volume with Canada and Mexico.

As Singapore’s other trade partners also have strong ties with China, the ripple effects could be significant.

“The US is also likely to scrutinise Singapore’s relationship with China, especially following news of Nvidia chips being procured illegally by DeepSeek in Singapore,” she added.
 

WHAT IF THE TRADE WAR WIDENS?

While President Trump has “fired the starting gun” on a broader trade war, Mr Mohi-uddin suggested that the US may still negotiate fresh agreements with its trading partners, potentially avoiding a prolonged conflict.

However, Ms Yue believes a trade war has already begun, as Canada and Mexico have announced retaliatory tariffs on US goods.

“If tariffs are widened, the key impact on Singapore will be a hit to exports,” she said, adding that investment decisions and economic growth would also be affected.

Mr Farris of Eastspring Investments said that if the US imposes tariffs on Southeast Asian countries where Chinese companies have relocated operations, Singapore could feel the impact as it services these exports.

“This certainly feels like the beginning of a new period of trade tension,” he said. “If it escalates and sustains it will depress global trade which will clearly hurt Singapore.”
 


Trump fav is kill cheekon for monkey see??

Smugglers will just bribe these soldiers to get their goods through. It's a old tradition as profits are lucrative.
 
only tiongcock refuses to budge citing unfair trade practice by muicock as an infringement of wto rules. as usual tiongcock talks cock as ccp continues to traffick fentanyl and illegal tiong migrants to muicock. 10% is too low. should be 69% tariff on all products, fake and real.

not with multilayers of checkpoints, enforcement and surveillance. they can bribe canadian and mexican troops but they will have to bribe u.s. border patrol, national guard, u.s. marines, state troopers, county sheriffs, city police. not to mention drug enforcement agency, u.s. marshal, fbi, cia, etc.

Trump needs to buy time to get the money and factories out of China first, before raising tariffs to 100%. :cool:

China have steadily been building up its consumer base for cases such as this. Any tariffs will have minor impact on its economy.
