The era of deep economic, security and military ties between Canada and the United States "is over," Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday, after President Donald Trump announced steep auto tariffs. "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over," Carney said.
A) Canada isn’t a viable country because they depend on us
B) Hey no stop you have to depend on us still…
Canada and the EU should definitely bait trump into escalating tariffs as quickly as possible, and reach agreements to increase trade between themselves.
If trump continues to escalate and retaliate, Mexico and even China need to be included in the agreement.
This will have huge consequences for America, effectively excluding it from worldwide trade, while diluting the impact for the remaining nations.
America has a huge production capacity though, and that’s why escalation needs to happen quickly, not giving it time to ramp up subsidized domestic production.
The US could crack fusion and the world wouldn’t buy it from them at this point. They can ramp production, but everything they produce now is pretty must limited to domestic sales. If it does get exported, the world now has all kinds of reasons to negotiate the lowest fucking prices sustainable, if that.
