It’s funny; Canada’s retaliatory tariffs are designed to redirect Canadians to equivalent Canadian products that will now be more affordable, and so more desirable for Canadians to purchase. Trump’s response is… make those products less affordable in the US.
End result? Canada less reliant on US products, and US selling less product.
I’m not sure what Trump expected from a 1:1 response? When the markets aren’t equal, a 1:1 response makes absolutely no sense.
The Canadian products will be more expensive too. If the tariffs increase demand for Canadian products, and the price of American products is higher, it will drive the price of the Canadian products up. Ideally not by much, but they will go up.
However, I will happily suffer through price increases if it means my country is standing up to this shithead.
