- President Trump's main goal is no secret: reduce everyone's imports from China; make more countries do more of their own manufacturing, and reward them for doing so.
- But Canada (and Mexico too, incidentally) have continued to outsource more and more to China over the past couple of decades (that's what put NAFTA/USMCA in jeopardy), and this current negotiation was in part about the domestic content as well.
Let's talk about fairness here.
- If we're setting huge tariffs on direct imports of Chinese goods into the USA, and Canada sends mostly-Chinese products into the USA at low tariffs, that's not fair at all, is it?...
