It’s not fucking “strange”.

It’s Canada, Japan, the EU, and our other former allies retaliating against the US trying to use absolutely asinine and ham-fisted tariffs as a cash grab/shakedown by engaging in strategic retaliatory fiscal policy.

This is actual 4D geoeconomic chess. Because if orangeboi doesn’t listen and they keep going, the USD standard goes away.

It's also American business interests losing faith in fascist America. Stupid ideas have painful consequences.

lol I didn’t need the /s

Interesting that Carney was opposed to brexit but managed their central bank through it (as the first foreigner to run it, they wanted him that much) and now is part of, if not coordinating, the fuckyoudonny group of leaders selling their us bonds. Dude seems mild but should scare the shit out of the GOP.
