“Imagine that a longtime friend complains that you’ve repeatedly tracked mud into his house and threatens to trash your house in return. You endeavor to wipe your feet, perhaps even taking your shoes off altogether, yet the threats continue. Eventually, you have to question the friendship. This is where the US stands with Canada and Mexico, our closest trade partners, as the threat of tariffs continues to erode generations of economic goodwill. Despite both Canada and Mexico attempting to accede to US demands, they are now faced with renewed saber-rattling. While both countries will likely try to placate, it is becoming clear that both countries have begun questioning the role they want the US to play in their economies.” (03/06/25)
