Trump's TARIFF WARS have begun
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to the Health Ranger Report with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
Well, the tariff wars have begun.
Trump has already put a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada, a 10% tariff on China.
And Canada is retaliating with tariffs targeting red states in the United States.
Yeah, just the red states.
So, oh, it's getting political.
But then again, that's based on the information I have, and maybe Trump has additional information, probably, that we don't have.
Maybe Trump is aware of how close we are to some kind of a global war with China, and that control over the Panama Canal needs to be achieved on an emergency basis before that war breaks out.
Possibly.
I'm just wondering if that might be the case.
But clearly, something has lit a fire under Trump.
To take Greenland and to take Panama.
And that's the reshaping of the United States of America in a significant way.
And it all seems to be positioning the pieces for an upcoming global conflict of sorts.
Conflict with Russia and China, which I hope we can avoid.
Now, along these lines, what's really interesting is that Senator Marco Rubio just...
Completed an interview.
Now, he's the Secretary of State.
And in this interview, he said some shocking things.
I mean, shocking for the Secretary of State to say, but things that I have said over and over here for many years.
He said that we live in a multipolar world, and it's not normal for one country like the United States to dominate the entire world.
It's more normal, and the way the world has been configured in the past is that there were Multiple world powers who figured out how to trade with each other or figured out how to coexist.
Of course, not always.
Sometimes they attacked and killed each other and destroyed each other as, you know, World War II, etc.
But to hear Secretary Rubio say that the State Department recognizes that the U.S. can't be the only dominant world power any longer, that we have to get along with China and Russia.
Although I'm paraphrasing, he didn't say it exactly that way.
But it seems like that's what he was saying, that the U.S. can't be the world's police.
That is astonishing to hear.
It's a positive thing to hear.
I'm glad he's saying this.
I'm just surprised.
I'm really surprised.
I thought Marco Rubio was more of a globalist, but this is really the opposite of globalism to say these things.
So this may also explain why Trump is in such a hurry to try to acquire Greenland and also control over Panama.
Now, let's talk about the Suez Canal because that's the other key channel in terms of global trade routes and also naval ships being able to move quickly from the Mediterranean into the, well, the Arabian Sea, I mean, the Red Sea first and then into the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf area.
The United States pays Egypt.
My memory is that it's about $5 billion a year.
I don't know the exact number, but it's billions.
Egypt just collects money basically to be friendly to America, to continue to make sure that America has access to the Suez Canal.
Now, right now, Egypt is amassing tanks on its border with Gaza slash Israel.
And nobody's sure exactly what this is all about, but it seems to be that Egypt is preparing for some kind of a conflict with Israel.
Or Egypt is maybe making a statement that says, hey, don't push all the refugees into the Sinai Desert or Egypt proper.
We're not sure yet.
But when Trump cut off foreign aid temporarily, he froze all foreign aid.
He gave exemptions to two countries that will still receive aid.
Those two countries are Israel and Egypt.
And if you're wondering why Egypt, that's why.
It's the Suez Canal.
So, looking at the big picture here, what is Trump doing with Greenland, with Panama, and with Egypt?
Trump is making sure that the United States maintains a dominant military control position.
Over key waterways and passageways.
And in the case of Greenland, being able to potentially install things like over-the-horizon radar there and watching for, let's say, ICBM launches from Russia that might be flying over the North Pole.
So Trump is trying to acquire or assert control over key areas that give the United States a strong strategic advantage.
If there were to be any kind of a conflict with China or Russia or anybody else.
So from a nationalism point of view, just looking at America's interests, Trump appears to be doing things that are most definitely in America's interests.
Now, the people of Greenland aren't too happy about this, and the people of Panama are not happy, and the people of Canada are also not happy about the tariffs in particular.
There was a hockey game between a U.S. team and a Canadian team, and this took place somewhere in Canada, and the Canadian hockey crowd booed the U.S. national anthem, which is kind of funny.
Not that we should consider Canada's hockey fans to be representative of the entire country or anything.
I mean, hockey fans, generally speaking, are kind of a rambunctious group, which is fine because of the nature of hockey.
Anyway, they're booing the national anthem in Canada now, which is an indication that there's a sour mood because Trump is putting tariffs on U.S. goods going to Canada.
So the bottom line in all of this, and the reason I wanted to record this, is to tell you there's a method to this madness, a seeming madness by Trump.
You know, sometimes Trump's actions look...
A little crazy from the outside.
Like, why is he wanting Greenland?
Why is he causing problems in Panama?
What's going on here?
Why is he also trying to end the war with Russia?
And he's also trying to end the conflict in the Middle East?
Well, I think it's very simple.
Trump is trying to expand U.S. military control territory, especially Greenland, but also trying to consolidate U.S. military control over the key waterways and canals, the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal, and of course the northern sea routes that go near Greenland.
That's really critical as well.
But Trump is doing this in order to give the United States as much advantage as it can have if there is a conflict with any country anywhere in the world.
And Trump and his Secretary of State, Rubio, They recognize that the U.S. can no longer just flat-out dominate the world by running around and demanding everybody obey.
That's not going to work any longer.
Trump no doubt recognizes that the U.S. naval fleet, just the very structure of it in our modern age, is mostly obsolete.
Aircraft carriers can be taken out by hypersonic missiles, for example.
Aircraft carriers and other ships can be taken out by Russia's Oreshnik missile system.
The future of warfare is very likely drone warfare in terms of kinetic warfare, but there's a much stronger information warfare component to this that's likely to determine the outcome of the next conflict, whatever that may be.
When you look at AI and the rise of superintelligence and cyber hacking capabilities, etc., it really points in the direction of information warfare or cyber warfare as being the determining factor rather than simply kinetic warfare.
But there's no question that from America's point of view, having control over these key territories is really key.
Now, one more question on all of this, though, is how many enemies is America making around the world or turning allies into enemies?
I should say, maybe not enemies, but allies that are not happy with America and are less likely to cooperate with the things that Trump wants to do.
So, you know, Trump is angering Panama.
Trump is angering Greenland, probably angering Denmark.
No doubt he's angering Canada, although that's not difficult to do with the hockey crowd there.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Trump is running around, you know, sort of causing turmoil, political turmoil in many areas.
And then on top of that, he says that he's going to slap tariffs on any country that is Right.
Well, that's going to ruffle some feathers for sure.
And it's also going to establish, I think once and for all, it's going to answer the key question.
Is the United States still strong enough to make such demands credibly and for other countries to fall into line?
We're about to find out the answer to that question.
I'm not sure the answer is yes.
It may be that we are at a real breakpoint, a turning point, with the world saying that, hey, we're no longer going to just bow down and do whatever the U.S. wants us to do.
We're going to have options now.
We're going to trade in BRICS currency, energy with Russia, manufacture goods with China, etc.
We're going to trade with whoever we want, and we're not going to care if the U.S. sanctions us, because we have options, you know, BRICS options.
So we're about to find out what the rest of the world really thinks on this issue.
And I imagine there will be some very loyal countries that will never deviate from the U.S. agenda.
That'll be the U.K., probably Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, you know, Canada, etc.
But there will be a lot...
Of allies, probably in Central and South America, in the Middle East, and European countries that move away from a hegemonic U.S. dominant position and start to explore their options.
There are many options in the world today because, as Secretary Rubio said, it's no longer a unipolar world, it's a multipolar world.
And if all the other nations don't figure out how to operate in that multipolar world, They're going to find themselves tied to just the United States, and if the dollar collapses, then, well, a lot of ships start sinking at that point, you know, metaphorically speaking.
So interesting times in which we live, for sure.
