@harrisdupree3323 he seems to know his buissness. First of all, he tariffs products selectively, searching for the biggest impact on Us-consumers, while protecting his own people.
Secondly, he gives canadian companies some weeks to adjust their suplly lines, encouraguing them to seek conections in other matkets
And third, and most important: Aparently, almost all canadians stand behind him. If they expiriencie difficulties, they will bkame Trump, and not Trudeau. Meanwhile, in the US 49% of the population can`t stand Trump just because, without their lifes having been really affected by his administration yet. Of course, his most stubborn supporters will side with him regardless of the circumstances, but how many of the other 51% will continue to support Trump once they begin to expirience hardships?

@ The whole canadian population stands with its goverment, and as long as Trudeau can defelect the blame for any difficulties to Trump, they will be willing to endure some hardships to retain their "independence". Meanwhile they can reach out to other markets (that may have been less atractive in the past, but now suddenlly become more appealing, as trade with the US is burdened by tarriffs.
Meanwhile, 49% of US citizens already hate Trump, without him even haven`t have time to do anything to them......Sure, Trump will have always a group of supportres that will back him regardless what, but how many of the 51% that support him will continue to do so, once their jobs go down the drain?
Because, the EU will sooner or later also establish counter-tarriffs, and THEN the sh*t will hit the fan in the US...... trust me, countertarrifs are almost a religion here in the EU.......
