Trivia for your next pub quiz — or perhaps trade negotiation: The United States already has a free trade agreement with Canada. It's called USMCA, and was negotiated by President Trump.

They have to upgrade now. They spent the last 5yrs fleecing consumers and now they know price increases won’t be tolerated since they don’t have Covid to blame. they have to do what they should have done already -reinvest to remain profitable.

The truth is most countries haven't had substantial tariffs on the United States in decades. As a result, most countries are walking in and they say, hey, you know what? We already don't tariff you. Why don't we write it down in an agreement where I say something that was already true 6 weeks ago."
