(DCNF)—Economist Steve Moore warned other nations on Tuesday that challenging President Donald Trump on tariffs would significantly backfire on their economies.
In response to Ontario, Canada imposing a 25% tariff on electricity entering America, Trump announced on Truth Social Tuesday that he instructed the Commerce Department secretary to double the previously announced 25% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum, asserting it would take effect Wednesday. Moore, on “The Faulkner Focus,” said that if Canada, Mexico, China and other nations continue to retaliate against Trump’s tariffs, it would only damage their own economies, arguing these nations will ultimately yield to the president.
“I’m not the hugest fan of these tariffs but I’ll tell you, I think that these other countries, Harris, like Mexico and China and Canada, are making a big mistake — a huge mistake — in thinking that they can win a kind of tit for tat game on this,” Moore told host Harris Faulkner. “Because Trump will not relent here and all they’re doing is ruining their own economy … All of these countries have higher tariffs than we do. So all Trump is talking about, Harris, is leveling the playing field so we have a fair playing field for American products.”
Trump has also said that Canada imposes a 250% to 390% tariff on numerous American dairy products. He added that if Canada does not agree to his terms, he will implement more tariffs on cars April 2.
“At the end of the day, Harris, what I’m going to predict is that Trump will prevail here ’cause he’s a winner. I would never bet against Donald Trump,” Moore said. “And I believe what’s going to happen is these other countries are going to be forced to lower their tariffs and [at] the end of the day, I actually think we’ll have freer, but fairer trade.”
“And I think Canada, Mexico, China, the Europeans — the Europeans have three times higher tariffs than we do, Harris,” he continued. “I mean, those have to come down. And I’m going to say this loud and clear one more time: if these countries think they can bully Trump, they’ve got it completely wrong. That’s not a game they can win.”
Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada and a 20% tariff on China March 4 due to the countries’ roles in allowing illegal immigrants and fentanyl to flow into America. However, the president announced that he would postpone tariffs on Mexican imports for around a month in a Thursday Truth Social post.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
