U.S. President Donald Trump has kept Canada on edge with his tariff threat and the unpredictability surrounding it, but there appears to be a detailed plan for its execution if one delves into the economic thinking of a key presidential adviser.
The desire to impose tariffs on Canada, and much of the world for that matter, is inscribed in the Trump’s administrations’ objective to reshape the global trade and security architecture, according to a policy paper by Stephen Miran.
Trump said in December he was nominating Miran, a Harvard-educated economist who served at the Treasury Department during his first term, as the chairman of his Council of Economic Advisers.
In his “User’s Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System“ published by Hudson Bay Capital on Nov. 12, shortly after Trump’s election victory, Miran wrote about using tariffs as a strategy to rebalance trade with other countries and extract concessions not only economically, but around security and defence as well.
Trump’s threat to impose broad 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico has been linked to border security issues such as illegal immigration and drug smuggling. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
