The U.S. is unlikely to win its ‘dumb trade war’ with Canada. Here’s why

The U.S. escalated trade tensions with its ally Canada by imposing 50% tariffs on various Canadian imports using section 338 of a notorious law. Experts argue the U.S. is unlikely to win this 'trade war' due to limited options and increased foreign demand for Canadian resources like oil and aluminum. Meanwhile, public sentiment in Canada has shown strong support for Prime Minister Mark Carney following the assaults from Donald Trump.
