Trump has threatened tariffs over the flow of migrants, drugs into the US


Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum says Canada "could only wish they had the cultural riches Mexico has" following a threat by President-elect Donald Trump to impose tariffs on both countries over the flow of migrants and drugs into the U.S.

Sheinbaum made the remark after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined Trump for dinner at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, during which he spoke to the president-elect about his border concerns, Kirsten Hillman, Canada’s ambassador in Washington, told The Associated Press.

"The message that our border is so vastly different than the Mexican border was really understood," Hillman said Sunday.

Which "Cultural Riches" would those be?

Third World Poverty?

Tijuana Donkey Shows?

The NARCO-TARDO Government?

So now Trump will be accused of starting a war between Canada and Mexico....

 

[Hijinx]

No doubt Mexico has cultural riches, but their presence has been tossed aside by their not so cultural riches such as their drug dealings, their government being a sham government run by the cartels.

Well it ain’t the Canadian food or their clothing.

Because sure, that's why Canadians are beating feet to swarm into Mexico....

Is "cultural riches" code for "no cleaning supplies or laundry detergent"? Maybe "drugs and poverty"?

Obviously, you have never been to Quebec or Montreal, some of the best meals I've ever had were in those two cities.

So long as it isn’t French food.

I have to agree with you, the French have some defect that makes them want to cook trash and call it food. Snails, Thymus glands, testicles...
