‘It’s Outrageous That You Banned American Products From Your Shelves’

www.politico.com

Just a moment...

Pete Hoekstra thumbs through an imaginary document, and pauses for effect: “This is a serious proposal — pile one.” Then he raises a second document. “I can’t believe this,” he guffaws. “This is a joke.” Straight to the discard pile.

That, says President Donald Trump’s ambassador to Canada, is how it will go — one way or another — when newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney submits a proposal on a revamped economic and security agreement with the United States

  • Oh I hadn't realized it's the guy who got his ass handed to him from Dutch journalists. Our journalists should take the clue and we'll have four years of hilarity.

  • 🤣😝😹🙄😸🥲

    Fuck you dude, you haven't banned our products from your shelves you threatened to take over our shelves, violently.

    The Americans can't have it both ways, if you're waging economic war (and that's what's currently happening) we're not playing nice. Stop with the threats to our sovereignty and stop the economic chaos and we can talk about putting away our knives.

    If you wanted to talk, you needed to start there. Chaos first, means you're serious about not talking 🙄

  • Good read, well worth your time to go through it, if only to roll your eyes at the sycophancy on display.

  • Funny he says we haven’t banned Canadian products. I would kill to get their Smarties in the states. So much better than M&M’s.

    • Or Kinder Surprise eggs.

      • Kinder Surprise are readily available all over the US. The yellow plastic egg has been modified so it essentially splits the two halves of the chocolate egg, but I see them for sale at every grocery store, Walmart, etc.

        They used to be banned, but not for quite some time now.

      • Americans aren't smart enough to not eat the toy inside.

  • I'm sick of hearing from this fuckwit. Let's go back to never hearing about some useless ambassador.
