As Bloomberg reports, President Donald Trump will exempt Mexican and Canadian goods covered by the North American trade agreement known as USMCA from his 25% tariffs, offering major reprieves to the US’s two largest trading partners. The pause on the tariffs, which are related to illegal immigration and fentanyl tracking, will expire on April 2, according to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. That is the date when the president is expected to start unveiling plans for so-called reciprocal duties on nations around the world as well as sector-specific duties. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/stocks-bounce-lutnick-hints-usmca-compliant-tariff-exemptions

Wait a minute! Isn't that what the mainstream #FakeNews channels all do? Ah yes, but they get an exemption because they work for the globalists and communists, aka todays' democrat party . . . "That Has To Stop": Harris Denounces Unfettered Free Speech in 2019 CNN Interview The Biden-Harris Administration has proven to be the most anti-free speech administration since John Adams. That includes a massive censorship system described by one federal judge as perfectly “Orwellian.” In the CNN interview, Harris displays many of the anti-free speech inclinations discussed earlier. She strongly suggests that X should be shut down if it does not yield to demands for speech regulation. What is most chilling is how censorship and closure are Harris’s default positions when faced with unfettered speech. She declares to CNN that such unregulated free speech “has to stop” and that there is a danger to the country when people are allowed to “directly speak[] to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight and regulation.” Harris discussed her view that then-President Trump’s Twitter account should be shut down because the public had to be protected from harmful viewpoints. https://jonathanturley.org/2024/09/04/that-has-to-stop-harris-denounces-unfettered-free-speech-in-2019-cnn-interview/#more-223156

The Food Industry Is Facing A Hostile Takeover In the summer of 2022 Dutch farmers made headlines when they protested about being stifled by the Nitrogen regulations. Earlier in 2022 farmers from throughout Western Europe descended upon Brussels to demand a reprieve from a battery of ‘green’ policies squeezing them out of existence. The regulations that were damaging the livelihood of farmers varied from country to country but had similar effects. In Holland the issue was nitrogen from cows' excreta when the cows were located in designated "Natura 2000" areas. In Germany the longstanding diesel tax exemption for farmers was lifted, causing the price of energy to skyrocket. The green policies caused input costs to outstrip profits everywhere. A cow farmer in the county I live in, in the eastern USA told me that several nearby farms stopped producing this year after running a loss the last two years. Small farmers everywhere are under attack and only massive conglomerates are able to survive, but the quality of their production is inferior and so is the health of those that consume it. https://doortofreedom.org/the-food-industry-is-facing-a-hostile-takeover/

El Salvador’s law, though, is perhaps even more generous than Puerto Rico’s because it includes exemption for import duties, income taxes, municipal taxes, and more. Service industries like call centers, data centers, software development, and other back-office services are starting to be growing industries in El Salvador, and I met a number of foreign entrepreneurs who are starting businesses in the capital. Foreign investment is flowing in, and you can see construction projects everywhere– the capital city is quickly becoming sleek and modern, and it completely defied my expectations. Even the restaurant scene is really great. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/boots-ground-worlds-bitcoin-paradise
