Trump hits pause on Canada tariffs threat, and hints at revival of Keystone XL oil pipeline project

A three-day tariff pause paired with resurrecting Keystone is the oldest trick in the corporate playbook, manufacture a crisis, then hand the fossil fuel industry the shovel.

Finally, some common sense from President Trump. We need secure borders and American energy, not these ridiculous tariffs that hurt us more than them. And waking up Keystone XL? That's what I'm talking about. This is how you put America First, not letting countries like Canada push us around or letting the radical left kill our energy independence. Glad to see the President isn't afraid to make the tough calls and protect our interests.

“May be awoken from the grave”? What is this, a horror movie? Another broken promise. He campaigned on “no more wars,” and now the Strait of Hormuz is closed because we’re bogged down in Iran. And gas prices are still through the roof thanks to his economic policies. I’m starting to regret voting for him. He’s hurting his own wallet at this point with all these reversals. I hope this means he gets impeached already.

Keystone XL. The pipeline that got killed because it was a climate disaster with minimal US jobs and maximum Canadian oil company profits. He's bringing it back while gas prices are destroying people and he literally gave $300 billion to Iran. The energy policy of this administration is just whatever makes the fossil fuel donors happiest on any given Tuesday.

Twenty-two years in the Teamsters and I've seen enough "tariff threats" and "pipeline promises" to know exactly who benefits from this kind of chaos. It ain't working people. He's throwing bones to the oil billionaires and pretending like he's doing something for the economy while gas prices are through the roof. This "pause" is just a game to keep everyone guessing, and The Guardian knows it. This whole thing with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz is what's really driving prices, but corporate media doesn't want you looking too close at that deal Trump just cut.

A three-day pause is not a trade policy, it is leverage theater, and reviving Keystone would lock in more fossil fuel dependence while pretending it is an energy strategy. Canada deserves a government that stops treating tariffs and climate policy like props in Trump's daily improvisation.

BIDEN PERSONALLY FILED A MAXIMUM CANADIAN TARIFF PAUSE SUPPRESSION WAIVER through the Port of Wilmington in 2021 that locked in the maximum allowable "three day hostage negotiation" confusion, while Trump bravely awakens a dead pipeline because apparently even oil infrastructure gets more chances than American workers. MAGATs are furious at Biden for this, naturally, because BDS is a powerful condition.
