The tariff resolution, introduced by Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., will be considered a day after a procedural vote on a rule that would have barred House challenges to Trump’s tariffs failed with the support of three Republican members.
Oh, is that all?A positive outcome, but still needs to pass Senate & not get vetoed.

I think *members of his staff know exactly why Canada is in no rush to ‘deal a deal’ with the U.S. - SCOTUS decision still not issued, USMCA negotiations not yet formally kicked off, any number of behind-the-scenes whispering campaigns to make issues out of non-issues.…the list goes on. A principle of negotiation is don’t commence negotiations until it’s time to negotiate.It’s probably baffling to him and his administration that we have yet to bend the knee like everyone else.

When my next vehicle purchase comes, which will probably be a three row family vehicle pretty soon, I will absolutely be putting some effort into to understanding the geography of the supply chain of anything I’m considering. I will spend a bit of time looking into how the various manufacturers in play have approached this subject.
