That’s weird. Just last week he was saying that it was “smart” of Canada to make a deal with China. Somebody needs to give him another shake, and see which side of the die rolls to the surface next.
“do what I say, or I’ll tax my own people more”
While these policies obviously harm Americans as well, their impact on Canada shouldn’t be dismissed. The reality is that the percentage of the US economy that’s dependent on trade with Canada is far smaller than the reverse. The harm to Canadian exports would be quite significant. Of course, the only rational thing for Canada to do here is to suck up short term pain and continue diversifying. The fact that we allowed our economy to become so dependent on trade with the US is the reason we’re in this mess in the first place.
Ignore everything Trump says. Only react when he actually does something, and don’t hurry even then.
