Canada on August 1: “Oh yeah, Trump is imposing tariffs on us!? We will retaliate with a 25% tariff on US goods. That’ll show them!!” 3 weeks later… Canada: “Okay, we will drop our tarrifs.” 😎 I said it months ago about the trade imbalance. Canada has about 20% of its GDP coming from exports to the US and for Mexico it’s maybe 35% with much more reliant on Mexicans working in the US and sending money home. Mexico would likely crumble if trade to the US was halted. They can play hardball if they want or they can negotiate with Trump. baddog 1 Quote

Maybe this one is better….. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Correct me if I’m wrong, but Trump threatened tariffs against Mexico and Canada unless they made an effort to help with border security. Seemed like a reasonable offer to me. Your last sentence is spot on. Quote
