Trump is calling them all out, and will continue to call them out. It might mean that Trudeau, and Merkel and the rest get kicked out of office, but there’s a new sheriff in town, and I doubt that he will budge on this.
They sock it to U.S. with 20% tariffs on our exports, while we charge them 2% to sell into our market, the richest in the world. Our trade deficit with China alone was $375 BILLION last year, and even with Mexico it was $70 Billion. Can you say “Uncle Sap?”
