This is all subterfuge. Trump needs to show income so he can justify making the tax cuts for the billionaire class permanent. The MAGA rubes that voted for him will, of course, get screwed. Trumpflation, then Trumpcession, then Trumpression, maybe even the Great Trumpression. It only took him 18 months to destroy Obama's longest period of economic expansion in US history. Obviously even less to destroy the good economy he inherited this time.
Trudeau's retaliatory tarrifs will be announced shortly.
