I don’t think too many people are interested in selling a product to a country where as soon as you get the supply chain set up and are successful, the other country then puts enormous tariffs on additional products that you try to sell - effectively putting the American company out of business in Canada as soon as it hits the Canadian quota.
Canada is our friend and BEST trading partner. Any MINOR imperfections in trade can be BEST taken to International Court for resolution. Disrupting world trade (and making enemies out of friends) just BLOWS BACK on the US's reputation as a STABLE trading partner. Already we have alienated Japan enough to pull their money out of US bonds. That scare CAUSED the US to yesterday do an only PARTIAL pull back in Tariffs. The US is causing World Economic chaos. I wonder which country benefits most from all that?
