    Last time, the EU raised tariffs on Kentucky bourbon specifically to pressure McConnell.

    This time, I expect all affected countries to raise tariffs on Teslas. Combined with Americans fleeing the brand, Elon’s alliance with Trump might not work out as he expected.

      Also on Wisconsin motorcycles and Florida orange juice, among other specifically targeted tarrifs on red states.

      Yeah, Canada did the same thing last time.

      At least we have CETA this time, even if it’s only provisional ATM.
